I don't think Vince Flynn is capable of writing a boring novel. Executive Power is fast paced and Mitch Rapp is deadly efficient (as usual). The big issue I have is that the separate story lines are just that, entirely separate. You have Rapp in the Phillipines, pursuing Islamic extremists who have kidnapped an American family, and then you have Rapp back in the U.S. tracking down a shadowy Mid-Eastern terrorist, and the two story lines have nothing in common (aside from Rapp's involvement). What you end up with is a couple of short stories that move quickly to a somewhat predictable (but still satisfying) conclusion. My guess would be that Flynn had a couple of ideas for stories and instead of expanding them or integrating them in some way, he just plugged them into the same book.Get more detail about Executive Power.
