Extreme Measures 6

My least favorite part of this book so far is when the author, Vince Flynn, writes in the point of view of the terrorists. The head of the terrorist group is named Karim. He has hopes of one day becoming the head of al-Qeada, but it all starts with the mission he is on. After they decide to pack up and leave their training ground, they head on a trail towards an airport used for drug trafficing. The airport is run by a bunch of men in about their twenties, who get drunk and use cocaine every night. Karim and his men need the airport to get out of the country and go to Mexico where they will then make their way to America. That is just what I'm guessing because we don't know the whole plan yet. But anyway they need this airport so they launch an ambush and kill all the men. The mission is a success and karim is very proud of his men. They also take all the cocaine, about 10 million dollars worth, to make some money. Like I said before this is my least favorite part of this book because I Karim and all of his men.

Extreme Measures 5

Mitch Rapp tries to explain to the Commander that they are authorized by the CIA and they need to keep interrogating the captives. But the Commander does not by it and sends Rapp to jail. This made me very angry because they almost uncovered another terrorist cell that could harm the United States. But now the Commander screwed everything up by barging in and sending Rapp to jail.
Meanwhile the book also gives you the point of view of the terrorists. It basically switches off chapters telling the Point of view of the different sides. Right now, It is talking about the third cell. They tare a group of about seven men from different parts of the middle east. They are in training somewhere hidden in South Africa. They are doing physical training as well as training to make bombs and other things. The leader of the group has already killed one of the members for disobeying him. This is the third of three cells that were started. They do not know this but the first and second cells have already been intercepted. They are the only ones left. After a couple months of training the leader announces that is time to go.

Extreme Measures 4

So while Mitch Rapp is brutally torturing this guy, trying to get answers, the idiot Air Force commander finally gets out of bed. He is finally told that some special interrogators have just shown up, and are in the cells questioning the prisoners. So he goes to check it out and finds that while one of the terrorists is sitting calmly just like the last time he saw him, the other is laying on the floor badly bruised and bloodied. A man is standing over the messed up prisoner yelling. At that moment the Commander had seen enough and told his men to go in to the cell and arrest the man. This is probably the worst thing he could have done. Because meanwhile in the other cell, Mike Nash, was talking to his terrorist who had just revealed that he knew about another terrorist cell. He was willing to negotiate for money and freedom, but all the talking had to stop because Rapp ordered Nash and all the others to get out of there so they would not get in trouble. Rapp was just going to take all the blame. Rapp goes to talk to the commander and distract him so all the others can get out unseen.

Extreme Measures 3

After reading a few more chapters in this great book. I have come to realize just how sick Mitch Rapp is. He really does not care what all the politicians think of him back in Washington D.C. They explained to the prisoners held captive at the Air Force base that Rapp is questioning that they will be treated humanly and will not be hurt. Also, they will be fed regularly and sleep on decent beds. Rapp has come to the conclusion that if you do not use excessive violence with theses terrorist, they are not going to say anything. The terrorists themselves study the untied states and know all about theses rule. So they know if they do not speak no harm will be brought upon them. In Rapp's interrogations of terrorists he does not follow any of the rules that the politicians have set. He will do anything until the terrorist speaks. That is exactly what he is trying to do in the book right now. His friend, Mike Nash, has told him to try and not leave any marks so the Air Force people will not notice afterwards, but that did not last very long. The terrorist was simply not cooperating so he had to make things violent. And to make things worse the terrorist was a spitter.

Extreme Measures 2

I'm only around 40 pages in to the book becuase I have been doing so much guys and lit homework, but so far its been amazing. The United States special forces have found two highly ranked members of al-Quada and are holding them in the Bagram air force base in Afghanistan. These members of the al-quada terrorist group are though to know many things about new terrorist cells and what not. The problem is the United States government will not allow Mike Nash to interogate the men with any threats or violence. Nash has not been able to get anything out of these guys, they will not say anything if they do not have to. So Mike Nash devises a plan to bring Mitch Rapp in and tell everyone that he is Colonel Carville the head of special investigations for the air force. The young boy behind the counter at the base believes this story and allows them to go in. Once they're in there the stop all the cameras and microphones and things start to get violent. I havent really read much after Rapp got in but he has punched both men a number of times. I have a feeling that he will get someting out of these guys at some point.

Extreme Measures

I have decided not to read The Longest Day because I went to Barnes and Noble and found a much better book. This book sounds very interesting and is by a very good author. The book I choose to read this quarter is called Extreme Measures by Vince Flynn. Flynn writes his books about CIA specialists who protect the United States from terrorists. Vince Flynn is a very famous author. He has wrote many books that made the New York times best sellers list, and he did not stop that trend with this book. Extreme Measures is a book about a Counter Terrorist agent named Mitch Rapp who is chosen to head the assignment to destroy a recentlyfound terrorist cell. Along with his partner Mike Nash they battle a master-mind who is striving to become the leader of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. In the book it also brings up the life of the warriors who go un-noticed in the War. The men and women who have to constantly lie to everyone about what and where they are. All to protect the country we care about. I have a feeling this book will be very hard to put down.
Thank you and that is all.
