Description

Mitch Rapp faces an Iranian foe bent on destabilizing the Middle East in the newest thriller from Vince Flynn’s #1 New York Times bestselling series, now written by the “worthy successor to Tom Clancy” (Publishers Weekly) Don Bentley.

April 2011: On a remote mountaintop overlooking the remains of the Iranian nuclear weapons program, Azad Ashani witnesses a Quds Force demonstration of a capability meant to upend America’s war in the Middle East. Ashani, director of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security and Irene Kennedy’s former back channel to the Iranian government, recognizes the demonstration’s true significance, and the nation-ending conflict it will provoke. Alone, Ashani stands no chance of preventing this rush to madness.

But with the help of one man, he just might.

In Washington, DC, CIA director Irene Kennedy briefs the president that the operational window to kill or capture Osama bin Laden at his recently discovered compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan is rapidly closing. But before he’ll authorize a commando raid on Pakistani soil, the president demands irrefutable proof of bin Laden’s presence.

Proof he trusts just one man to provide.

Preventing a looming war in the Middle East while delivering justice for the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 would be a big ask for anyone.

Mitch Rapp isn’t just anyone.

  • Omg, the acronyms

    The author spends far too much time trying to impress the reader with his knowledge of military acronyms and far too little time on prose (the overuse of “steel on target” might lend itself to a fun drinking game) or plot.
  • Probably the worst one yet..

    This one is pretty hard to read. There’s so much context monologues going on that you might get 1 comment in a conversation and then 5-10 pages on the iPhone then get another comment followed by even more context.. I can’t finish the book
  • Long Read

    A really nice read. The book is both a thriller and an adventure story. I highly recommend it!
  • Buy why?!

    I don’t understand why Mike Nash was brought back? Who wanted that after the way things ended for him? The timeline jump feels like the author is preparing the last hurrah for Rapp and wanted to sell a few books in between. It wasn’t needed and definitely wasn’t appreciated by the series true fans. Rapp was done a disservice, sir!

    Vince Flynn and, later, Kyle Mills, did not tell you that Mitch Rapp was awesome. You gathered that he was awesome from how they developed the character. Sadly, the newest author in the Rapp series has chosen to tell us that Rapp was awesome rather than simply lead us there with his writing. And he has not led us there with his writing. This was a very shallow effort, and portends the death of Mitch Rapp as a series the next installment of which I can’t wait to read. I struggled through this book, and feel melancholy that that the Rapp world has ended, at for me, as I won’t waste my time with the next installment. (Less than halfway through, I was annoyed by the repeated back-references to Hurley. It was the author’s crutch, used due to a lack of any ability to continue the Rapp adventures in a way that was consistent Messrs: Flynn and Mills. Kyle? Please come back?)
  • A little problem with a timeline

    In 2011, Nash was an operative, not a CIA suit.
  • Boring

    I struggled to get through this, more chaff than wheat. Not what I expected from this series.
  • Great book! 👏👏👏

    Great addition to the series. This book is set between two earlier books, so the mention of Stan Hurley threw me off for a minute. This book occurs in 2010 I believe. Story was well written-very hard to put down.
