Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture
On the front lines of the global war on terror, CIA superagent Mitch Rapp races to save one more life—his own—in this “fast, fun read” (People) from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn.
An eye for an eye: that’s what the powerful father of a dead terrorist demands in retribution—and with his hate-filled plea, Mitch Rapp becomes the target of an explosive international conspiracy. The fearless operative has both killed with impunity and tortured to avert disaster, all in a battle to preserve freedom. But even among America’s allies, some believe the time has come to bring Rapp down. 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.

"This is a good break from 'serious' reading. I like Vince Flynn because he builds the novel around a more conservative approach showing the State Department and the CIA in a light that is probably more realistic than other novels. The writing is concise and action packed and the main character Mitch Rapp is both down to earth and superhero at the same time. It would be interesting to have Mitch Rapp have to kill Jason Bourne but it sounds a little like a comic book storyline. After all how can you pit two 'good guy's' against one another?"

" Like 24 on steroids. "
— Tim, 2/20/2014 -
" I picked this up at Sam's Club one day just to read while I was waiting for my car to be washed and was instantly hooked. I have subsequently bought most of his books. All very good and give great history on the Middle East and the conflict there. "
— Allie, 2/20/2014 -
" My intro to Mitch Rapp and the CIA Assassin, who defends this country from the Muslim extremists who threaten it on a daily basis. A believable tragic hero, with both strengths and flaws. A must read, Vince Flynn actually interviewed political figures, former CIA Agents, and did extensive research to make this as believable as possible, without compromising our national security of course :) "
— Slopez1022, 2/17/2014 -
" I seldom read a book that I enjoy from the first page to the last, but this one certainly qualifies. I hope we have a real Mitch Rapp lurking somewhere in our government. I think we're going to need him. "
— Sue, 2/16/2014 -
" In a world where Comedy Central (!) won't even run shows critical of radical Islam, Flynn continues to deliver "novels" that accurately portray who's who what's what in the world of international terror. "
— Tropean, 2/15/2014 -
" Omg. I can't believe what he did to Anna. I am so disappointed and thought, well hoped, she was really alive. "
— Sandy, 2/15/2014 -
" Typical Mitch Rapp book, good, but not as good as the others. Good to read after Flynn's book Memorial Day if you are working through the series. "
— Serri, 1/16/2014 -
" This is my first Vince Flynn novel and it was exciting. I story about a CIA assassin. I do recommend him him you like the spy/CIA type book. "
— John, 1/12/2014 -
" My favorite Mitch Rapp book! This one will tear at your heart but it is one of the best. This one gives you a glimpse into what it would feel like to seek revenge but Flynn deals with it so beautifully. "
— Patty, 1/10/2014 -
" A better listen "
— Pleasantree, 12/29/2013 -
" My second Vince Flynn book, which paled at the beginning comparing to The American Assassin, but quickly surpasses my previous VF book. "
— Nowhere, 12/27/2013 -
" Maybe my favorite Mitch Rapp yet. "
— Paul, 12/22/2013 -
" I couldn't get through this book. The writing wasn't too bad, but it was cliche. After the great Clancy, this sort of thing has been done already. "
— Tony, 12/18/2013 -
" My hero in Vince Flynn's thrilling stories, Mitch Rapp in action!!! "
— Ajiek, 12/8/2013 -

" A great assassin versus assassin story, and of course Mitch kicks ass! "
— Clint, 8/19/2013 -
" If you think Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is too big of a pussy, then this book is for you. Imagine Fox News writing a paperback ... but worse. "
— Casey, 7/23/2013 -
" my favorite Flynn book so far. I don't think I took a breath through the last 200 pages. "
— Bill, 7/19/2013 -
" Vince Flynn's CIA assassin is Mitch Rapp, and after all the killing he's done, it stands to reason that one day, someone would come looking for revenge. That day comes to light in this entertaining read. "
— Alan, 6/26/2013 -
" I love Mitch Rapp! "
— Patrick, 6/20/2013 -

— Kendar88, 3/27/2011 -
" Another excellent book by Vince Flynn. It is a series and would have been better to read from the first to last, however, I read them as I picked them up and still enjoyed them very much. "
— Jim, 3/5/2011 -
