Transfer of Power

A solid thrilling action book

I don't think I've ever read a book about the president being captured and there being hostages before (despite the presumed cliché of this). And it was great to read and felt very very plausible. Considering this is the “first” in the series, I have to give it props for doing something bold. And having read the two prequel books first, it felt very much like Mitch had grown up and was at peak lethality.

If you enjoyed the movie Olympus Has Fallen, then this book will be right up your alley. I loved it. Just a fun action romp with fun characters and really interesting situations.

I actually enjoyed the two prequal books, American Assassin and Kill shot. They focused on the characters and their motivations, this shitty written book is just all American flagwaving at it's worst. The women in the book is asked to sit safe and “look beutiful” and the terrorists are more caricature than actually scary. And hey! I really don't care if a silencer supress 60% of the sound from a sniper rifle
