Newly appointed CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy is the target of an inside plot to destroy her and prematurely end the American President's term. To make matters worse, Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race - something Israel has vowed to stop. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, the president calls on his secret weapon: top counter-terrorism operative Mitch Rapp. But with only two weeks to take out the nukes, Rapp is up against a ticking clock - and impossible odds.

The workings and consequences of self interested politicians

Sadly, the insight given in this book to the unseeing egos and greed of elected officials, and want-to-be elected officials, is so prevalent. We are so very fortunate here in the USA to have the law that we have, but still, what your will read in this book will open your eyes. Never forget, there are truly well meaning loving people in this world that really want to be good servants. This books give insight as to how hard at times that is to accomplish. Kudos to Vince Flynn, very well written.

GOOD Stuff!!

A very good book that would've been that much better if the author had kept the Ultimate Killing Machine as a single man. Why let the irrational attitude of a truly feckless woman ruin what we all desire when purchasing a Mitch Rapp book, BLOOD AND MORE BLOOD!!! You have a platinum formula. I see no need to disrupt it by adding an unecessary love interest. A wishy washy one at that.

On to the next book in the series...👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥

Another Great Book from Vince Flynn

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014

The continuing story of how Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy are working against internal and external corrupt people and countries seeking greater political power or promoting terrorism. This story picks up where the book "Transfer of Power" leaves off.

In this book Irene Kennedy has been nominated to succeed her boss who has died. Mitch Rapp is working to find out who is behind the attempts on his life, while Iraq is on the verge of having nuclear capability with Israel's Mossad sharing this information with the U.S., and Mitch making plans to propose to Anna Reilly.

The complications behind each of these and how they are linked and resolved will keep you reading this wanting to see how these will ultimately play out. Suffice it to say it is the way it unfolds that has kept me reading these books.

I have now read all of the Vince Flynn books and will greatly miss not having any more to read after his death in 2013 from cancer.

Another Flynn Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017

This continuation of the Mitch Rapp series was another page turner...the first two books have been a two of three night read and Separation of Power didn't disappoint. Flynn hit the mark on the suspense and his storytelling again. I recommend, if you want to get started with the Rapp anthology, you get the chronological sequence first and read them in order. It's not critical to understand or follow each book without it but there are some details that build off each book in the series.

Oh gosh -- I love EVERY BOOK he has written and this one did not disappoint. The main character, Mitch Rapp, is well defined and Vince Flynn knows how to draw the reader into the story with every page. This is one of my favorites. There's never a dull moment. I have every book he wrote. I so miss him -- Rest in peace.

Mitch Rapp Shines Again!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014

Vince Flynn was truly a phenomenal writer. His fiction is hard to put down. Mitch Rapp is one of the most memorable characters in my experience as a reader. This book combines just the right measure of unsuspected betrayers, relationship conflict, espionage, plot twists, keen insights about "government" and politics, self-advancement vs. cause advancement, and righteous judgment. Read Separation of Power. As with any Flynn novel, you will be glad you did so.

I've read the entire Mitch Rapp series and am now reading them once again. They are just as exciting and fast moving as the first time I read them. Vince Flynn was truly a brilliant author and every book in the series is so full of suspense and so well written that I don't want to put them down. Flynn had an exceptional gift and he passed way too soon.

All of the Mitch Rapp books that I have read have never failed to deliver and this is no exception. Government intrigue mixed with fast paced action sequences and a list of interesting characters can only fail to deliver if the writing is poor and fortunately Mr Flynn seems incapable of writing a bad page.
The field is a crowded one but there is no doubt that Mitch Rapp stands at the front of the bunch.

Excellent thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2014

I’ve read a few of Vince Flynn’s books now and enjoyed them all. Having read the Third Option (the preceding book to Separation of Power) last year, I was looking forward to this one as there were a lot of loose ends at the end of TTO. Who was behind the attempted assassination of Mitch Rapp in Germany and why was the only lead killed by Rapp’s former lover Donatella Rahn, for one?

Thomas Stansfield, the CIA Director is now dead and Dr Irene Kennedy is the new head of the CIA, the President Hayes (US President) has hidden enemies in Washington who are determined on bringing about his demise. Meanwhile the Israeli’s have discovered that Saddam Hussein is close to entering the Nuclear Arms race and they have given the US two weeks to deal with the problem, or they will take action themselves, which could see the start of World War 3. Mitch Rapp longs to retire from his role as America’s secret weapon against terrorism and live a normal life with Anna Reilly, but his reputation and unique skills see him dragged into destroying the nuclear weapons and also to find out who is behind the plotting against President Hayes.

Vince Flynn has created a character and a series which is a true rival to Lee Child’s Jack Reacher. These are well written thrillers, packed with political intrigue and meticulously researched. Flynn clearly has an excellent grip of the field of intelligence and I would guess he has some well placed sources that provide him with his research material. The plot is fast paced and Separation of Power, like the previous Flynn books I have read, is extremely difficult to put down. If I were to level one criticism of Flynn, is that Rapp’s character’s credibility is stretched to the limit on a few occasions. I won’t spoil the plot, but the resolution of the Iraqi nuclear crisis had me cringing at times. The fact that Rapp casually won the Hawaii Ironman in his spare time, whilst defeating America’s enemies also had me smiling. That said, this is a common criticism of the genre and writers from Jack Higgins to Tom Clancy have also been guilty. I would urge readers to put any scepticism aside and enjoy Vince Flynn’s books for what they are, well written thrillers.

I was saddened to read about Vince Flynn’s passing away and his books will be missed, particularly as I know a little about how hard it was for him to initially break through. RIP Vince Flynn.

Terrific suspense but...........

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2012

This was a brilliant book from Vince Flynn in the Mitch Rapp series. But going back in time, again, was a bit irritating. Knowing how things progress and what the character does in the future, spoils the storyline somewhat as it is obvious what is going to happen, in some respects. This will make me think twice about future publications although I am addicted to this particular series. Please move on and tell us what happens next. I was very lucky to be given American Assassin to read first, but still got caught out with some books out of sequence despite trying to read them in order. It may look clever, but I would prefer to read books in order, maybe with occasional flashbacks within the stories.

Another great Mitch Rapp adventure

It's been a while since I've read a Vince Flynn, Mitch Rapp novel and it's the first on my Kindle.

My only question to my self would be, why have I waited so long to read another on Vince Flynn's books?

It's a great read - Rapp is trying to get out of the assasination business, but someone is after him, and in typical Rapp fashion, he has to sort it out himself.

Of course, there are a number of sub plots involving Mossad and his own Government and they all have to ge cleared before Rapp can set himself free, but can he.

I would highly recommend this book.
