#1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn
introduces the young Mitch Rapp, as he takes on his first
covert assignment—soon to be a major motion picture.
Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in
the world…and then tragedy struck. Terrorists attacked
innocent American citizens, and Rapp’s girlfriend was among
the murdered. Two hundred and seventy souls perished on that
cold December night, and thousands of family and friends
were left searching for comfort. Mitch Rapp was one of them,
but he was not interested in comfort. Now he wants retribution.
Two decades of cutthroat partisan politics have left the CIA
and the country in an increasingly vulnerable position. Cold
War veteran CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield knows
he must prepare his people for the next war. America must
confront Islamic terrorism with full force. Stansfield
directs his protégée, Irene Kennedy, and his old Cold War
colleague, Stan Hurley, to form a new group of clandestine
operatives who will work outside the normal chain of
command—men who do not exist.
What type of man is willing to kill for his country without
putting on a uniform? Six months of intense training have
prepared him to take the war to the enemy’s doorstep, and he
does so with brutal efficiency. Rapp starts in Istanbul,
where he assassinates the Turkish arms dealer who sold the
explosives used in the terrorist attack. Rapp then moves on
to Hamburg with his team and across Europe, leaving a trail
of bodies. All roads lead to Beirut, though, and what Rapp
doesn't know is that the enemy is aware of his existence and
has prepared a trap. The hunter is about to become the
hunted, and Rapp will need every ounce of skill and cunning
if he is to survive the war-ravaged city and its various
terrorist factions.
Behind the steely gaze of the nation's ultimate hero is a
young man primed to become an American assassin.
