The Third Option

Amazon.com

Rancorous political infighting surrounds the selection of a successor to the dying head of the CIA just as Mitch Rapp, the agency's top operative, embarks on a dangerous mission to take out a well-known German industrialist believed to be supplying Middle East terrorists with highly sensitive equipment critical to constructing a nuclear bomb. When Rapp's ultimately successful mission is compromised from within, ailing CIA director Thomas Stansfield puts his imprimatur on the efforts of his chosen successor, Irene Kennedy, director of the agency's Counterterrorism Center, to identify the powerful interests both inside and outside the agency that wanted Rapp to fail.

The motive soon becomes clear; there are people who'll stop at nothing to remove Kennedy from the helm of the agency after Stansfield dies. One thing they didn't count on was Rapp's survival, and now he's a lethal weapon whose sights are fixed directly on the most powerful among them. This is a strong, swift thriller, a bit predictable (the senator in the black hat has dogs named Caesar and Brutus) but nonetheless involving. Author Vince Flynn sustains the dramatic tension from the opening paragraph to the last; in Mitch Rapp, he's got the makings of a promising series hero. --Jane Adams

Book Description

When diplomacy has failed and military intervention is deemed inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take THE THIRD OPTION.

CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield -- a choice that enrages many inside the world's most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins -- which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one's pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

Another Superb Thriller From Vince Flynn.......2007-09-26

I just love this Mitch Rapp series. He's definitely our over the top guy. I hope there are people somewhat like him in real life. Prime characters: Mitch Rapp counter terrorist operative; Dr. Irene Kennedy Director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center;CIA Director Thomas Stansfield the ultimate master spy;President Robert X. Hayes;Senator Hank Clark Chairman of The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence;Congressman Albert Rudin Chairman of The House Select Committee on Intelligence. Peter Cameron a man for sale with 24 years of experience in The Agency's Office of Security. Secretary of State Charles Midleton an elitist snob who thought he should be running things. Clark has designs on the Presidency.Rudin has a deep hatred of the CIA. Plenty of spellbinding excitement as the plots unwind while Rapp thwarts the ambitions of Clark,Rudin & Midleton to take over the CIA.

Better buy Seperation of Power to go with this book. Good book, just incomplete if you don't read Seperation of Power after!.......2007-07-25

Third Option and Seperation of Power could really be one book. If this was Clancy it would have been. Growing trend seems to be in a certain size book for this genre so I have an idea that's why it was split. Combined, these books offer a great story and compelling plot with plenty of action to go around. I really like the Mitch Rapp character. Do yourself a favor if your considering reading this book and pickup Seperation of Power at the same time. I was lucky and had ordered the whole Mitch Rapp series after reading "Consent to Kill". I'm out of order a bit as this was a latter book, but I've since started at the beginning and like I said enjoyed this book, but at the end I was like "Hugh"! The ending was incomplete until you read Seperation of Power.

Kept my attention.......2007-07-23

I have grown to love Vince Flynn. I have listened to the CD's for all of his books during long drives between Northern and Southern California. I'm never bored and wish there were more stories available. At least he still does his own writing.

An exciting political thriller.......2007-06-05

Vince Flynn has taken the baton from Tom Clancy and is now one of the premier political thriller writers of today. In the Third Option, his third novel, Flynn explores the underworld of politics, where the "third option" of quietly snuffing out your enemies is often taken. Series hero Mitch Rapp is in Germany preparing to assassinate a German providing weapons to Saddam Hussein (pre-9/11). Rapp is successful, but then two members of the team turn on Rapp. Rapp survives and is left wondering what went wrong and why?

The rest of the action takes place in the USA, with secretive teams working against each other killing and betraying each other. Rapp returns to the US and tries to find out who betrayed him and to also make sure girlfriend Anna Reilly is safe. Once Rapp rules out Irene Kennedy, his boss at CIA, he goes after the true bad guys.

You can tell Flynn has done his research. The Third Option is entertaining and a fun read for political thriller fans. One complaint I have is Flynn's writing style. He writes in third person omnicient, which means from paragraph to paragraph, the points of view of the characters change and we know what all characters are thinking, including the bad guys. (You'll know who betrayed Rapp early in the novel.) Flynn has written several political thrillers and I plan on reading them all eventually. While I enjoyed The Third Option, the characters weren't that strong. Still, the book was heavy on action and political maneuverings and is a must read for fans of the genre.

This is the one that hooked me.......2007-05-13

This was the first Vince Flynn novel I read. I then had to go back and read the first books in order because I was hooked. I've read all of his books and now reserve new releases on Amazon because I eagerly await the next book. This is from a guy that always waited for the paperback version.

Option Trading Bible.......2007-10-01

Considered by many professionals as the bible of option trading, Options as a Strategic Investment is a must have addition to any serious option's trader. Option trading is widely misunderstood and feared by many stock traders mostly because it takes real effort to really capture the mechanics that is behind this trading form.

This book will help anyone that is beginning in this exciting field to get a grip of all the things that is involved in option trading and is a great reference book for professionals. The lessons are clear and the information is up to date and straight to the point. Studying this book alone or even better...this book with a few other reference books will get you in the right direction of this often misunderstood but highly profitable form of trading. A must buy addition to anyone's trading book collection.

Excellent book!.......2007-09-19

This is an excellent book for the serious option's trader. Very detail and in depth explanation of all different types of option trading strategies. Recommended!

Worth the money!.......2007-06-27

This book is probably the best on the subject. It is usually called the Option Bible. It would be nice if it was updated to reflect some modern trades (e.g. condor).

A Good Investment For Learning More About Options.......2007-06-27

This book is written in clear, easy to understand language with examples that go further to clarify what a specific strategy/technique is. It is not a boring, academic book. The only drawback that I have run into is that the commissions for trades are far in excessive of what is available through internet brokerages. The impact is that sometimes the book will stress that commissions will make a big difference in outcome whereas that is not generally true in my experience. I immediately learned about using in the money covered calls that either produce income or significantly lower the cost per share of a security and profitably but this to use.

Don't EVER do options without this book!.......2007-06-08

After reading The Options Course by George Fontanills, which is a very good book for beginners, you'll want take the next step. This is THE ultimate book on options. It covers absolutely every aspect of options trading. Your mouth will drop after you put your hands on this book. There's a gazzilion ways to cut your risk and maximize profits, and this book reveals every single one in detail. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.

The only problem I see is that the book is really, really boring for beginners and people who are not serious about trading options. I was just learning the basics when I first read it, and it was pretty hard to finish it. Read a couple of other books on options for beginners (like George's) and start paper trading options BEFORE you buy this one. I read a lot of books before I started trading and hated most of them. Now that I know how the real thing works and all the potential, I feel much more compelled to read it all over again.

The book offers an overview of every trade possible, all scenarios and follow-up action. All the examples are very clear and well explained. There's a lot of ways to lock in profits too, all very well described. Even if you've been trading for 10 years, you will be amazed when you read this book. If you read it thoroughly 4 or 5 times a year, there's absolutely no excuse for you not to become a master in options trading. If all the other books are the options college, this is your PhD course.

... this come comes out "tops". I use the information I learned from this book daily as I trade not only futures but also forex. If you are a trader, this one needs to be one of your "top" resources.

Futures Game.......2006-10-30

I am a long time futures investor and I have several books on the subject. This book: "The Futures Game" is superb. It is complete and the only one to consult.

A textbook for beginners.......2001-08-04

This book is an essential a textbook for college students. It provides all the basic materials about the futures market. But I feel it doesn't cover too much about the problems of real world trading. After trading for sometimes, I know that there are many tricks using by the professional traders. They are really important. They can give you edges over other traders. But they are seldom covered in college textbooks. So you still need to read other books or learn from other people before you put the money into this risky game.

Belongs On Every Serious Market Participant's Bookshelf.......1999-05-21

This is clearly one of the best investment books written. The title belies the breadth of valuable market knowledge the book offers students of the markets.

No kidding.......1999-02-07

If you are going to trades futures, read this book, make a few trades, then read this book again. It is a cold, hard look at the reality of trading. While just about every other book on futures trading assumes you are a gullible idiot, this one exposes the difficulty of the pursuit. Its depth and breadth are incomparable.

Product Description

How to Make Money with Stock Options is an introduction for the conservation, non-professional investor to the strategies used by professional investors to increase yield on investment through the use of stock options. Beginning with the basic elements of the differences between stocks and options, Mr. Hecht gradually moves the reader to the advanced stages of options strategies, including buying and selling puts and calls, spreads, and buy-writes. Throughout the book the emphasis is on conservative strategies, and an understanding of what makes particular strategies risky or conservation (and what those terms mean). The author includes practical sections on mitigation of losses and hedging, and helpful diagnose of common psychological pitfalls that sometimes influence our decision making in the market. Finally, there are sections giving practical advice specifically to stock brokers and layers handling option-related cases. How to Make Money with Stock Options makes this complex subject manageable for the average investor who wants to increase his or her investment return while maintaining a conservative posture.

Customer Reviews:

John's Review.......2007-04-11

Another Gem! Do NOT speculate in options witout reading this first! Buy calls and puts with the LOWEST possible 6 month implied volatility, sell calls and puts with the HIGHEST 6 month implied volatility! Also, pick high volume, therefore highly liguid options with the LOWEST bid/ask spreads tro maximize returns! These are some of the most important things I learned.

Go with a pro.......2006-08-13

Once again Mervyn Hecht makes understanding stock options easy to understand - and easy to use as a tool for making money. Having known Mervyn Hecht professionally for many years, it was no surprise that his third edition was once again a winner - a book one would want to own if you were interested in making money through stock options. Mervyn writes very clearly and to the point. His credentials and experience are outstanding. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in stock options.

It's not speculating.......2006-04-14

I thought Merv Hecht's book How to Make Money with Stock Options was an extremely thoughtful, useful, well written book for the conservative investor who wants to make more money from his or her stock portfolio. Hecht makes clear that options are not just for speculators, that an intelligent conservative strategy can be developed which adds considerably to income. He explains, provides the tools, and the Third Addition includes very useful software to track trades and prepare for tax time.

Traders' Delight.......2006-03-08

The third edition is a traders' delight. As an educator I look for books that can be useful for investors at all levels. The author gives invaluble tips for beginners and loads of advice for seasoned traders.
A new addition this time is tracking software that quite handy

A valuable and easy-to-understand primer.......2001-03-21

Especially in these volatile times in the stock market, Hecht's book is extremely valuable reading for investors. Using plain language, Hecht explains how investors can hedge and pursue less risky strategies with stock options. Those who have some familiarity to investing in the stock market will have no trouble understanding Hecht's presentation of what is often difficult material. His book makes it easy for conservative investors, and those who want to pursue less risky approaches, to make stock options a part of their investment strategy. Thanks to Hecht's book, stock options are now an integral part of my approach to the market, and I'm benefitting handsomely.

Very honest and open with her infertility struggles.......2005-07-21

I was able to read Ms lee's book in 2 hours. I did not read every little detail, I found all the indepth journalling to be more than I wanted to know, but it highlighted her struggles and determination to have a baby. I did not find it helpful per se. IMO it is the kind of book that is best shared with family and friends who know you personally. A great book for her to share with her son one day...

A true representation!.......2005-07-21

This journal is very open and honest. I couldn't stop reading once I started it! The author does a wonderful job of capturing the rollercoaster ups and downs of trying to conceive a child. There are a lot of emotions, both good and bad, that go along with this process and they are all shared within this journal. Financial and social struggles are also seen along the way. This journal is a very good description of the nightmare that infertility can be.

Amazing honesty.......2005-07-20

There aren't many people in this world that would open up their most private wishes, struggles and disappointments for others to experience through publishing. This book is a must read for anyone who has struggled or is struggling with infertility - as well as their friends and family members. I read this book in one sitting. It was so compelling to see how each attempt came out that you can't stop reading. I thank the author for sharing her journey with us. And I heartily congratulate her on having the family and son that she fought so long and hard for.

Inspiring book!.......2005-07-18

The story of Ms. Lee's journey through infertility is a 'must read' for anyone embarking on their quest for a child. Those who have not experienced this heartache would benefit from learning what it is like to yearn for a child who is seemingly so out-of-reach. It really makes you count your blessings!

Book Description

Fixed-income investors and traders need to understand how much risk they are taking and what they will earn from each security as they buy and sell bonds. Option-adjusted spread (OAS) analysis is a powerful analytical tool for making these assessments, superior to the more commonly used yield analysis, which can produce erratic results. Yet many hesitate to learn OAS because it is conceptually more difficult than yield analysis. This book, now in its third edition, solves that problem with its clear, plain-English presentation of the thinking behind OAS, which enables nonmathematicians to master the concepts quickly.
