Book Review By Jerry Naradzay
Term Limits by Vince Flynn

Term Limits is a thriller about Skip McMahon, FBI agent, and Michael O'Rourke, first term congressman, linking up to solve the murders of several powerful and nefarious US politicians. A seemingly rogue band of US patriots threatens to take down the US government one politician at a time unless the govt stops "business as usual", pork-barrel politics. High tech military and government jargon turns up the volume on realism for the pro-American hunters and the hunted on both sides of the sniper's rifle. McMahon, a no-nonsense FBI agent uses his skills, connections with the military and gut checking instinct to link the murders together. One term Congressman Michael O'Rourke is torn between serving the country he loves and serving the hunters who seek to eliminate the greasy politicians who are burying the country under a mountain of debt.
