Additional Term Limits Information

What if America's politicians were held accountable for their broken promises -- and made to pay for their corruption?

With a unique flair for heart-pounding dramatic tension, meshed with the technical precision of Tom Clancy, author Vince Flynn brings to life a chillingly credible scenario of Washington under siege -- in a provocative, edge-of-your-seat political thriller.

In a night of shattering brutality, three of Washington's most powerful and unscrupulous politicians have been executed with surgical precision. Their assassins, vanishing without a trace, have delivered a shocking ultimatum to the leaders of the American government: set aside petty, partisan politics and restore power to the people, or be held to deadly account. No one, they warn, is out of their reach -- not even the president.

A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals that the killers are stealth experts, elite military commandos with the proven capacity to penetrate the tightest security and neutralize any target. But no one knows exactly who they are or when they will strike next. Only Michael O'Rourke, a former U.S. Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence: a haunting incident in his own past with explosive implications for his country's future.

Compelled by his memories and by his sense of honor, O'Rourke confides in the one woman he trusts, crusading journalist Liz Scarlatti, only to uncover hidden land mines of corruption and murder among the highest ranks of leadership. But as the casualties continue to mount, O'Rourke and Scarlatti make a terrifying discovery -- an appalling truth that the American people can never know if the nation is to survive.

Delivered with the dead-on impact of a sniper's bullet, TERM LIMITS is a tour de force of authenticity and suspense, an all-too-realistic and utterly compelling vision in which the ultimate American ideal -- a government of the people -- is taken to a devastating extreme.

What Customers Say About Term Limits:

The characters are poorly developed and display inadequate motivation that I could buy in to to justify their committing murder. Why didn't these men exercise their right to run a candidate for public office and get rid of the people they killed in a lawful manner and allow the people to exercise their will. The only reason I finished this book is so that I could honestly and completely write a review. The main character, a young Congressman in Washington, D.C. I am surprised at the high rating for this book. I frequently read murder mysteries. However, now we do have voting rights.

As an American I find that really offensive that these men would voilate the rule of law and and true spirit of the Constitution. This is one of the worst books I have ever read or come across. What takes place in this book is a military coup d'etat. But, in this book the "hero"/main character is a murderer and vigilante. justified violent behavior with the wording in the Declaration of Independence used by Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers justified our revolution. Our Founding Fathers very carefully put into the Constitution the superiority of civilian authority to our military for good reason. The writing wasn't even at the level of a freshman English class.

The characters are cartoonish and shallow. This was a bad book and kind of creepy. Congress cannot balance the budget because its members are loathsome and corrupt, not because spending issues are complex. It features a group of ex-commando assassins who decide it's okay to knock off members of Congress because they believe them to be 'corrupt.' And the author clearly sympathizes with this notion, with every supposedly sympathetic character in the novel, including the heroic freshman congressman, concluding that the three elected representatives deserved to die. Nobody ever questions the morality of a small group of assassins trumping choices of the electorate, let alone of outright murder. Also, Flynn's research is faulty. The agency he holds up as an example of an unecessary government program, the Rural Electrification Administration, had been dismantled three years before the novel was published because, lo and behold, Congress had determined that it was an unecessary government program.

Now I know what all the fuss is about, friends have told me to read Vince Flynn and Now I have. I just bought the next 2 in the series.

It gives a good insight into the dirty inner workings of politics and corruption. As Flynn's debut novel, this is an absolutely solid piece of modern day fiction. Easy to read and has great character development. The story is able to capture the reader from the first page. its almost impossible to put this book down once you start reading it. This is only my first Flynn novel however i am sure that i will be back for more. great work Vince Flynn.

Great story as well as the transaction. Book in good shape arrived as promised.
