Vince Flynn has done it again. He has proven that he is the next Tom Clancy. The "Third Option" continues to show he is a master of action/suspense/political thriller novels. All three of his novels are page turners that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Once you pick up one you will not want to put it down. I give this novel along with his other two(Term Limits and Transfer of Power) five stars.
