Extreme Measures is a gripping political thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn. The story introduces a modern-day patriot and hero, Mitch Rapp, who loves his country even when it betrays itself.

Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, a determined and terrifying terrorist group is about to descend on America. With Rapp away on assignment in Pakistan, CIA Director Irene Kennedy turns to his protégé, Mike Nash. Nash has served his government honorably for sixteen years, first in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp.

Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in their fight against the jihads and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash.

Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.
