Since it's cold and I don't want to leave the house anyways, I've been doing a lot of sitting on the couch and reading. I made sure the kitchen was cleaned up first, so it's ok.
Extreme Measures (Vince Flynn) is the story of how Mitch Rapp and Mike Nash teach the Senate Judiciary Committee and Senator Lonsdale that 'extreme interrogation' is necessary and if they are not allowed to do whatever they need to do to get information there will be a terrorist attack. And there is. Not gonna lie, I found the first part of the book too preachy about torture and too close to reality. It made me squeamish. I'd rather read about bad guys that don't involve terrorist attacks on Washington DC. That said, the lead up to the frenetic climax is a page turner. I was reading until 4:00am and then again a few hours later. I'm not sure you could say this book is about some ass kicking because there's not that much ass kicking. In the next book Pursuit of Honor I think there could be some major ass kicking because Mitch Rapp has been given pretty much carte blanche to kick ass.
