It's pretty amazing when a writer takes over a franchise for another author and continues the story. Mitch Rapp is a badass who gets things done -- and this crazy story about the possibility of terrorists shutting down the power grid is a fun read... and it's a bit worrisome, as the U.S. grid is in much need to repair and strengthening. ( )

The DOE has hired a consultant to help identify weaknesses in the electric power grid, and our elected officials are too cheap to spend the $5 billion needed to protect it. So, an enterprising soul decides to offer America's doom to its competitors and adversaries, just for the satisfaction of seeing it done, eventually finding one. The culprit has infected the power companies computer systems with malware and his ally has sabotaged critical hardware, plunging the U.S. into darkness. Mitch is asked by the President to leave his haven to help find and punish the responsible parties, who themselves are bunkered down while America burns, planning to run to Mexico. Mitch rescues an unlikely source, who knows but has been unable to share the identity of the culprit with the FBI. The radio broadcaster is a great character in this one, commenting on the nation's collapse. ( )

A great read. Kyle Mills has done a terrific job in carrying on Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp books. Really have enjoyed them all ( )

I am one of those people who was disappointed by some recent Mitch Rapp books. To be honest, I wasn't totally enthused when I started reading "Total Power", preparing for another disappointment. Wrong! This book turns out to be a really good and an exciting one. Believable threat of major blackout across the USA. Only wish there were more Mitch action. If you said that you're done with this series, try one more! ( )

Love the premise of this one but felt the story was a bit flat for the characters. ( )
