#1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn is back with another nail-biting political thriller that follows the young Mitch Rapp on a deadly mission to hunt down the men responsible for the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack.
For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is currently in Paris without a single bodyguard. Rapp finds him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With confidence in his well-honed skills and convinced of the man’s guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man’s skull. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes. The door to the hotel room is kicked open and gunfire erupts all around Rapp. In an instant the hunter has become the hunted. Rapp is left wounded and must flee for his life.
The next morning, the news breaks in Washington that Libya’s oil minister has been killed along with three innocent civilians and four unidentified men. The French authorities are certain that the gunman is wounded and on the loose in Paris. As the finger pointing begins, Rapp’s handlers have only one choice: deny any responsibility for the incident and pray that their newest secret weapon stays that way, avoiding capture and dying quietly. One person in the group, however, does not believe in leaving things to chance. Rapp has become a liability, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to be taken alive by the French authorities. But it will soon become clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and cornered Mitch Rapp.

"A much better effort than the previous American Assassin novel in the Mitch Rapp series. Flynn has spent the last year battling prostate cancer, so any effort from him was a welcome sight. Overcoming a somewhat plodding middle after a quick start, this plot came together nicely at the end and really showcased what Flynn was trying to do with the first AA novel, show the beginnings of Mitch Rapp and what shaped him into the assassin he became. Flynn really pulls that off here." — Andy (4 out of 5 stars)

" Great character, you are drawn into this book with passion. "
" Awesome book. So far my favorite in the serious. Can't wait to continue the rest of the series. "
" Mitch Rapp is in "Superman" mode as he is extremely perturbed at the los of his wife. Good narration, good storyline. I was thoroughly impressed with both the story and the story telling. "
" Another good read from Vince Flynn's series. Mitch Rapp kicks butt! "
" An enjoyable read - my first Vince Flynn thriller. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline flowed well ensuring a quick read. I will definitely be reading more of Flynn's books. "
" 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. "
" 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. "
" Another thriller which I enjoyed reading. "
" Really enjoy his books - do not like his political friends "
" Great story. The timelines are a little messed up. This is supposed to be the second prequel, however, some of the technology is too up to date. Still recommended. "
" I couldn't put it down - a cross between James Bond & Bourne Identity series, but different. It was bought for a birthday present and I'd never heard of this author. I'd finished it (sadly) in a few days. "
" Was 4 1/2 stars, but I rounded up. Entertaining follow-up to the previous book (chronologically) in the series. "
" This would have been well-done, for me, if it appeared as #2 in order. As a prequel, however, I don't think that it's as deep or thought-provoking as his last few. Still, all in all, I enjoyed it and recommend it to my friends. "
" This sets the stage for the rest of the Rapp franchise - giving some good background detail and further character development. "
" time to wrap it up and move on. "
" The one thing I can never say about the Mitch Rapp series is that there isn't enough action. My goodness, dead bodies everywhere, but what do you expect when you are reading about a CIA assassin. "
" Good audiobook commute CIA fiction! "
" Another excellent thriller from Vince Flynn in the early Mitch Rapp days. 10 of 10 stars "
" Standard Vince Flynn/Mitch Rapp thriller. Worth every word on the page. "
" Very good read. Makes me want to go back and read all the Mitch Rapp books again, in order of course. "
" Excellent once again! I couldn't put it down! "
" Pretty good. Hard to root for assassins, even if they're working for the good guys and killing terrorists. This is definitely a GUY book! "
" A few bits that kinda dragged on a bit giving info about unrelated subjects. As a whole a great read though. "
" Loved this second book in the series even more than the first. "
" Flynn doesn't disappoint again. I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone. "
" Another great Vince Flynn book. "
" Didn't like this book at all so bad infact I quit reading it after a couple of chapters as I it didn't grab me from the beginning the story wasn't interesting enough and it was just too slow. I personally wouldn't recommend this book! "
" This book was a gift to me. And a very unusual genre for me. But, I loved it and am now hooked on Vince Flynn and Mitch Rapp. "
" One of Flynn's best ever. Mitch Rapp is the best character in thriller's today. I read this during my daily commute and missed my train stop a couple of times. A real page turner that never lets up. If you like action, a good plot, and interesting characters this is the one for you. "
" Nice prequel to the series. I thought that this had more developed characters then some of his other books with a little less prescribed plot line. A good read when you want some brain candy. "
" Well written as usual. Kept my attention from beginning to end. Character development is well thought out and believable. "
" Not his best novel but to be fair, he was battling cancer while he was writing this one. I'm sure he will be back on top of his game for his next book. "
" I've read all of Vince Flynn's books up to his newest release. They are fast-paced, well written and do not disappoint. His details are just enough and his characters are multi-faceted. If you're looking for (non-politically correct) political thriller/current events fiction, Flynn is it! "
" I was looking for a good spy thriller for an overseas plane trip and this bad boy did just the trick. It was very exciting and had great characters. Add in plenty of surprise plot twists along the way and you've got a great travel diversion. "
" Very well written. Book is about early in Rapp's career. Vince has a whole lot more that can be written about Rapp. Waiting for the next installment. "
" This isn't quite up to the standards of Vince Flynn's earlier novels but it's still a pretty intense thriller. I would have liked to see a few more plot twists though but that's a fairly minor complaint. "
" The second book in the Mitch Rapp series is a real winner. It's a very exciting espionage thriller that moves along at a brisk pace with nary a slow spot. "
" Disappointing. I was a Mitch Rapp/Vince Flynn fan, until this one. My main objection is with all the colorful language. Too much for me, and a new addition to the series. Too bad. "
" This wasn't a bad spy novel, but it's not the same caliber as similar novels from other authors working in this genre such as Tom Clancy. That said it's a decent read if you're just passing the time. "
" This prequel to the Mitch Rapp series does a great job of telling the back story of how Mitch became a CIA assassin. It's an exciting thrill-ride with a surprise ending that you'll never expect. "
" Great book. I think Vince Flynn is doing a great job giving us the background of Mitch Rapp. He's one of my favorite literary characters, along with Alexander Hawke, Dirk Pitt and Jack Ryan. "
