Description

Counterterrorist agent Mitch Rapp is on a collision course with America’s most feared enemy in this white-knuckle political thriller from “the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there” (The Providence Journal) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin.

No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Iran’s billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood—American blood.

Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Iran’s government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah—and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe. This story blends global tension, covert operations, and high-stakes suspense, perfect for readers of CIA counterterrorism novels and political thrillers set in the Middle East.

Reviews

So good!

Kennedy centered novel and I loved it. Hoping for more of her in future novels. Flynn did his research and made an accurate depiction. Rapp was terrific as always and he cares about his work and Irene. The only thing that has been a bother in the novels so far is the ages are off but I don’t let that get to me.
Very good read.

Vince Flynn is one of the goats

Vince has a very descriptive voice. It’s not pretentious or arrogant in any way.

My dad is a navy guy, and he just loves the series which adds credibility.

I plan to read the entire series.

Flynn never fails to entertain. These books cause me to spend more time in “condition yellow.
Laborious and meandering

I love most all of the Mitch Rapp series but this plot was without soul or character evolution. Seems a poor addition to the series.
Boring

I've read every book in order up to this one. I have to ask, was this book even written by Vince Flynn? I stayed up all night to wanting to put any of the previous books down. This one puts me to sleep each time I start to read it. I'm 1/2 way through and debating if I should it close it and start the next one, or force myself to finish it.
Incredible

I've been reading books a long time and this is easily in my top 3 of all time. Absolutely impossible to put down, and very believable given recent world events.
Incredible read

This is a great book and as an author Vince Flynn is on a par with David Baldacci and superior to James Patterson. The mental images he is able to convey without droning endlessly are phenomenal.
