Publisher Description
In this blistering thriller by New York Times bestselling author and “king of high-concept political intrigue” (Dan Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author), CIA operative Mitch Rapp becomes a target of bloodthirsty vengeance for a deceased terrorist’s father.
For more than a decade, CIA superagent Mitch Rapp has been on the front line of the war on terror. Now, he’s on a race against time to save one more life—his own—in this “fast, fun read” (People).
The influential father of a slain terrorist demands retribution for the death of his son at Rapp’s hands. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage there are those, even among America’s allies, who feel Mitch Rapp has grown too effective at his deadly job. They have been looking for an excuse to eliminate the number one counterterrorism operative, and they are determined to seize the chance with an explosive international conspiracy. Now the hunter is the hunted, and Rapp must rely on his razor-sharp instincts for survival—and justice—as he unleashes his fury on those who have betrayed him.

"Thoroughly enjoyed "Consent to Kill". I am a Mitch Rapp fan, but the book has plenty of twists and turns to keep most listeners intrigued! One thing I really enjoyed was the total lack of superfluous violence! Flynn is not one to detail injury just to increase his novel's violence. Rapp's actions are important to his character's development. The narrator did a believable job in speaking for the various genders, age groups and nationalities."
— Neil (4 out of 5 stars)

" I don't know why I am not thinking these books are starting to sound "same old, same old" but I love the Mitch Rapp character and his attitude of screw the government and fight for the little people. If revenge is ever justified, this is a great example. "

" Good read. Ending was a nice twist of Mitch's character. "
— Leftymath, 9/19/2012 -
" Quick down-time read. Lacks surprises and characters are wooden. Main appeal is to machismo and that the right people die in appropriately horrible ways. "
