Time and again, Vince Flynn has captivated readersâ imaginations with his all-too-real portrayal of a secretive world where fearless men and women, bound by duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from even their own political leaders. Now, in Extreme Measures, Mitch Rapp and his agency colleague, Mike Nash, may have met their match.
The CIA has detected two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be o! n the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.

It also gives Hugh Grant an opportunity to break free from lightweight comedy by playing an emergency room surgeon who discovers that a renowned neurologist (Gene Hackman) has been conducting secret experiments on patients. When Grant fails to save a patient whose body later mysteriously disappears from the morgue, his investigation leads to an underground community of healthy homeless people, some of whom have been test subjects in Hackman's revolutionary, but cr! iminal research toward a cure for paralysis. Co-produced by actor-model Elizabeth Hurley and capably directed by Michael Apted, this otherwise conventional thriller rises above its limitations by asking morally complex questions that give its far-fetched plot an extra kick of dramatic impact. --Jeff Shannon #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynnâ"âthe best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there todayâ (The Providence Journal, RI )â"puts Mitch Rapp in the crossfire as Americaâs enemies tighten their grip.Returning from a covert mission, Mitch Rapp was publicly hailed by the president for his role in the fight against terrorism.
