Summary: Great storyline.
Review: The "Third Option" refers to the options of fighting terrorism. The first: diplomacy. The second: war. The third option: targeted assasinations. In this novel, Mitch Rapp is part of an operation to assassinate a wealthy German who has been providing aid to Saddam Hussein. During the assassination, his two co-assassins turn on him, and leave him for dead at the scene (of course, he survives). The rest of the book is Rapp's search to find out who was behind double-crossing him, and why. This is the third book of Flynn's I have read. The others I don't think it's necessarily an issue if you read them "out of order," but in this case, I think you need to have read the others to really understand what's going on here. The order is thus: Term Limits, Transfer of Power, The Third Option, Separation of Power. As in his other books, the only complaints I really have about this book is the totally unnecessary vulgar language, and also the way he seems to end the book too abruptly. I won't spoil the story for other readers, but at the end of the book there is still a BIG loose end yet to be tied up. Maybe it'll happen in the next in the "series. . ." This book was hard for me to put down. Lots of action, and accurate (as far as I know!) in its details.

Summary: Kinda OK
Review: Wasn't what I expected. I read his first two therefore I didn't expect what this one gave. A little heavy on the political side. I enjoy action and espionage with some legal so maybe I just read the wrong book. His others were great and I hope Memorial Day will be as good. I will read it next with hope.
