Publisher Description
Mitch Rapp faces an Iranian foe bent on destabilizing the Middle East in this “bloody, electrifying adventure” (The Real Book Spy) 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 the successful demonstration of a new weapons system meant to upend the American-led war in Afghanistan. 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 but Mitch Rapp isn’t just anyone in this high-octane thriller that is perfect for “action junkies” (Kirkus Reviews).
Customer Reviews
Capture or kill
Too much analysis of Rapp that we already know. Backed up in time, not current.
Capture and Kill
Verbose and too special forces weighted. It took away from the story with so much detail of military description. This service is not written by Vince Flynn, and each book since his death has gotten further and further from his genius.
Good story
I thought Bentley tried a little too hard to impress readers with a lot of unusual (perhaps, fancy?) terminology.
Conversations between characters were often hard to follow. The author chose to insert so much background about the topic at hand between characters’ dialogue that I found myself scrolling back several pages at times to remind myself what the conversation was about.
I thought the story was fine, but the writing style did not live up to my expectations, which were set by Flynn and Mills.
