Description de l’éditeur
Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top operative, searches for a high-level mole with the power to rewrite the world order in this riveting thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn, written by Kyle Mills.
Mitch Rapp has worked for several presidents over his career, but Anthony Cook is unlike any he’s encountered before. Cunning and autocratic, he feels no loyalty to America’s institutions and is distrustful of the influence Rapp and CIA director Irene Kennedy have in Washington.
When Kennedy discovers evidence of a mole scouring the Agency’s database for sensitive information on Nicholas Ward, the world’s first trillionaire, she assigns Rapp the task of protecting him. In doing so, he finds himself walking an impossible tightrope: Keep the man alive, but also use him as bait to uncover a traitor who has seemingly unlimited access to government secrets.
As the attacks on Ward become increasingly dire, Rapp and Kennedy are dragged into a world where the lines between governments, multinational corporations, and the hyper-wealthy fade. An environment in which liberty, nationality, and loyalty are meaningless. Only the pursuit of power remains.
With “sizzling storytelling at its level best” (The Providence Journal), Kyle Mills has created another suspenseful thriller that not only echoes the America of today, but also offers a glimpse into its possible future.

Another of kyles decent rides in the Rapp universe
Honestly, this series is in my top 5, along with Silva, Thor, Taylor, and Rollins. However, this entry seemed a bit lazily written. The storyline never seemed to hit the apex moment, or keep you turning pages filled with suspense to see what happens next. It kind of just glided through, with the biggest takeaway being that the new president and his wife are going to be a huge problem, Mitch, as he has been in the past few novels never really moved forwards or backwards with Claudia, and having Mike do what he done just does not jive with the personality of the character Vince initially created. Not a great entry into one of my most anticipated releases of the year. If Kyle doesn’t step it up and either take this series to a place where Mitch is forced into a role more befitting his age and wear and tear, and introduce a new character that he trains — something along those lines…I don’t see where Kyle can take this series if this is the type of entries we can expect from him. 3 stars is being generous.
