Vince Flynn: Double Tap
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where were you when you did most of your reading of this one, and did you need a cup of something nearby to get through the tense stretches?
Thrillers like this often get read in big gulps. Was there a night you told yourself one more chapter and absolutely lied? Tell us about it.
Rapp's world runs on people who show up for each other without being asked. Who in your own life is that person for you, and how did reading about that kind of loyalty land?
The book opens with a scientist taken from their ordinary life. Did that part sit uneasily with you, and what helped you settle back in as a reader?
Deep-cover work means living as someone you are not. Was there a moment where the strain of that pretending made you feel protective of a character?
This is the 25th Rapp book, picked up by a new author. How did it feel to be in a long-running world, whether this was your first visit or your twenty-fifth? Comforting, daunting, or something else?
Without giving anything away, was there a point where you felt the story asked you to accept a cost you were not fully comfortable with? How did you make peace with it, or did you not?
When you closed the book, what feeling stayed in the room with you, and what would you want to say to Rapp if you could hand him a hot drink and ten quiet minutes?
