Memorial Day Book
Description
It’s just seven days before Memorial Day, and a spike in CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on the United States. Now it’s up to counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp to pull out all the stops. Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan, where he leads a special forces unit on a daring commando raid across the border into a remote Pakistani village. Their target: an al-Qaeda stronghold. Rapp and his team soon discover plans for a catastrophic nuclear attack on Washington, DC. Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear emergency support team scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and disarmed and the danger has been averted. Or has it? Mitch Rapp can’t shake the feeling that the operation seemed just a bit too easy. Rapp follows his instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth. What he finds is truly terrifying, and with Memorial Day closing fast, Rapp must find a way to prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions.

SJPONeill- thanks for your comment and I am an avid reader and will ck out Frederick Forsyth’s books- I love history and anything to do with wars, the past, the concentration camps- Corrie Ten Boom one of my Fav, and Victor (forgot his last name) but very inspirational…we are so spoiled in society that reading these do not bring me down, I learn so much more! My own father said why read Nick Vuijuic - one of my posts…and he added if he has no arms and feet why read it-how depressing! Well, No way…I love to be encouraged as if Nick can overcome so many things in his life without limits so can we! Inspirational messages are there!
I’d never even heard of Mitch Rapp so I ended up ‘reading’ (listening to the unabridged audiobook) the sequel to Memorial Day before reading (the old fashioned way, turning physical pages) Memorial Day itself…I’m not at home at the moment and can’t remember what the sequel is called but it is even better than Memorial Day (which I thought was pretty good)…both are ripping good yarns buit real (sounding) enough to make you wonder what really does go on behind the headlines…another good one in the same genre is Frederick Forsyth’s Avenger…
Sounds interesting!
It does sound awfully familiar now doesn’t it? Fiction imitating real life and vise versa.
Have a Blessed Memorial Day!
