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).

Reviews

  • New Author. New Rapp

    By Spy Life
    This new author really but his thumb print on this series. The prequel was well done. The return of an old character that I won’t spoil was LEGENDARY. Did not see that coming. Pumped for the next book in the this great series.
  • No flow to this book

    By Texas_20
    Partly a return to the Vince Flynn style of writing with plenty of military detail. However, it was the longest book to read in terms of time. I simply never got into a flow with this book.
  • Decent

    By tortmonster
    I liked the throwback subject matter but it’s lighter on action and depth of characters as prior books.
  • Made me stay up late to finish!

    By Rudquis
    As with most of the Mitch Rapp books, Capture or Kill kept me on the edge of my seat until the end, that I just HAD to finish.
  • Pretty weak effort

    By Nickname follies
    This book really highlights what an amazing job Mills did with the storyline after Flynn passed. Unfortunately the newest author is simply not in the same league. Long winded read that constantly described Rapp’s character as being super human became tiresome early on. It never ended, and with a dull plot that lazily tacked onto the Bin Laden raid, it was just a weak effort. This book was also absolutely riddled with typos. That’s not something that should be expected with a full priced book. Did anyone even proofread this thing before releasing it?
  • Monotony

    By Battery223
    Every situation seem to require a lengthy explanation of every move. Definitely different style of writing from Mr. Flynn. This one rated probably at the bottom of the Mitch Rapp books.
  • Disappointing

    By Dipak Rajhansa
    I eagerly await each new book I’m the series but this was a major disappointment. Too many obscure abbreviations left me feeling like the author was trying to impress his readers. But it was the return of Mike Nash and Stan Hurley that really turned me off. It wasn’t true to the storyline that preceded this edition.
  • Fantastic read

    By bowmanj0317
    Thank you for the great read.
  • Rapp fan

    By sipsey wilderness
    Fantastic job! I started reading the series early in the year have enjoyed every single one. Can’t wait for the next one. Ugh now I have to start reading something else. I got a Michael Connelly book and a new 6:20 man. Think I’m going to check out the Gray man series now. (I’m caught up on everything.)Too many books not enough time for them all.
  • Disappointingly average

    By linden11
    I have enjoyed the Rapp series but this one was sub par. Very average in building anticipation and excitement while reading. I finished it but I can’t highly recommend it.
