#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture
Vince Flynn’s intensely suspenseful #1 New York Times bestseller puts the young, hungry, and lethal superagent of American Assassin in the crosshairs even as he kills with impunity.
In the year since the CIA trained and then unleashed him, Mitch Rapp has dismantled, kill by untraceable kill, the network of monsters behind the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. The hunt leads to Paris, where a deadly trap is sprung as the bullet leaves Rapp’s silenced pistol—followed by the discovery of nine bodies, including Libya’s oil minister, in one of the city’s finest hotels. Washington wants no part of the international crisis, and Rapp is deemed a liability by Stan Hurley, one of his handlers. But as he slips outside their control to operate on his own, it will soon become clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and cornered Mitch Rapp.

"This is the second part of Mitch Rapp series. The main storyline was action packed, full of suspense and intensity. I loved it all. Mitch is really unique, fresh character. A reader can't predict his actions and decisions, that's why I like him. Vince Flynn wrote an excellent second book, I wasn't bored for a second."
— Meggie (4 out of 5 stars)
“The voice of today’s postmodern thriller generation, Flynn has never been better.”
— Providence Journal“This is Flynn at his best, and Mitch Rapp fans hoping for a solid follow-up to 2010’s American Assassin won’t be disappointed. George Guidall is one of the finest narrators around, and he brings his expertise to this tautly written and highly suspenseful thriller.”
— Library Jounrnal" Another good read by Flynn and I will continue my journey with the Mitch Rapp character. "
— Len, 2/19/2014" Another spellbinding Mitch Rapp spy thriller. I just wish the author would clean up his language. "
— Vicki, 2/13/2014" The only thing that would make Vince Flynn's books better would be more of them! "
— Robbie, 2/3/2014" Only a fair sniper/spy/assassin story. Predictable retread plot and characters. Would have been great if written 50 years ago, before the story had been done 50 times. Author should stick to action and stay away from trying to portray romance. "
— John, 2/1/2014" Still not thrilled with the whole prequel concept, but if you haven't read Vince Flynn before, you can change the order. "
— Anita, 1/31/2014" Ugh!!! Just finished it and now I have to wait until Vince writes another one! "
— Alex, 1/29/2014" Actually a very well written book but a few of the characters had some serious language---I always dreaded their chapters. 4 star had it not been for that. The book had me guessing the entire way. "
— Kelli, 1/16/2014" Thrillers are not really my genre but this one helped make a long busy trip fly by. "
— Dave, 1/3/2014" Don't you hate it when you get all caught up on an author's series and then have to wait with the legions of other fans for the next book to come out? Four and a half stars for this edge-of-your-seat thriller. "
— Anne, 1/3/2014" Another solid Mitch Rapp story. Interesting material on a character that we are all familiar with since this one is in the prequel category. Very abrupt ending had me scratching my head a little but it does lend to some interesting ideas. Recommended. "
— Rjames1999, 1/3/2014" Excellent Read!! I didnt want to put it down. As always strong characters and good plots. Highly recommend. "
— Bkbowles, 12/28/2013" book two in Rapp series after AA. like the others, easy page turner "
— David, 12/13/2013" I enjoy Vince Flynn,he's one of my favorite authors. This book traces the early career of Mitch Rapp. A little slow in the beginnning but then it hooks you and I found myself staying up way too late to read "just one more chapter" "
— Julie, 12/10/2013" Audio version - Narrator George Guidall makes this novel extremely enjoyable. With the last two books, the author is now filling in some of the past history of his hero, Mitch Rapp, and I find it fun. "
— Vaughn, 11/26/2013" Another fun yarn from Flynn, telling much more of the back story of Mitch Rapp. Rapp continues to be the funnest spy since Jack Ryan. Almost impossible to put this book down. "
— Seth, 10/30/2013" Short flashback to a young Mr. Rapp. "
— doug, 10/23/2013" Another well-done Mitch Rapp thriller. One of the better ones. Rapp goes rogue. "
— Boris, 10/17/2013" Not great. Fills in background about Mitch Rapp's early career but certainly not one of Flynn's better Rapp novels. "
— Lauren, 10/6/2013" In the intro Flynn reveals he has been fighting cancer. Interestingly, he goes back to Mitch Rapp's beginning year. Mission involved justice for thise involved in 1988 Pam An willing where Terry & her sister's parents were killed by terrorists "
— Cara, 9/19/2013" I liked it. I like all the Mitch Rapp books. "
— Gary, 7/12/2013" Typical Vince Flynn book. Mitch Rapp once again saves the world with a little help from Irene Kennedy and despite the pitfalls placed in his way by Thomas Stansfield and Stan Hurley. But a most entertaining read nonetheless. "
— Bill, 7/8/2013" Was 4 1/2 stars, but I rounded up. Entertaining follow-up to the previous book (chronologically) in the series. "
— Rick, 6/8/2013" Great book. Once you start it's hard to put down. Vince Flynn knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. "
— Betsy, 5/28/2013" 3.5 stars. Enjoyable listen. Really good, yet not great. "
— Crys, 4/7/2013" I had grown weary of Mr. Rapp, but decided to give the series another try. It was okay. "
— Icicle4, 3/17/2013" Believable characters and fast-paced action. A good read. "
— Lynn, 11/19/2012" Disappointing. The hero spends most of the book nursing a gunshot wound and hiding. Unsatisfying ending. Flynn can do better than this. "
— Nick, 5/20/2012" I have yet to read a better author in this Genre "
— Jeff, 4/22/2012Vince Flynn (1966–2013) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota.
