I think I may have read it years ago. However, I don't recall anything about it.

With political overtones that appeal to my tea bag father. That's all I know.

pretty good thriller. Very pro CIA (if it's one of his Mitch Rapp novels), but a fun read.

It was very right wing. Liberals were ruining America, men with guns funded by millionaires were putting America right, the inept secret service and military (ruined by political generals) were helpless to stop the good guys from putting America right, and sex was tacked onto the plot because you need sex in a political thriller novel. I like a good blow-em-up, but the constant political messaging throughout the book took the fun out of it for me.
