About this listen

CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp falls prey to government forces with an agenda of their own after Dr. Irene Kennedy is named the successor to dying CIA Director Thomas Stansfield—a choice that enrages many inside the world’s most powerful intelligence agency. Her detractors will resort to extreme measures to prevent her from taking the reins—which makes Rapp an expendable asset. But Mitch Rapp is no one’s pawn, and he will stop at nothing to find out who has set him up.

Hear Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top operative, battle global terrorism in more of Vince Flynn's political thrillers.©2011 Vince Flynn (P)2011 Simon & Schuster

Critic reviews

"Flynn hits his stride in this thriller about high-end Washington politics...[he] has an exciting, Ludlum-like series going here." ( Booklist)
"Flynn's latest thriller...is an old-school spy story...updated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayal." ( Library Journal)
"Fans of Ludlum and Clancy will want to check it out.' ( Pioneer Press)

Great diversity of voices by the reader Nick Sullivan. Excellently written story about a supremely talented hunter being hunted. Wonderfully detailed cast of characters, can’t wait to find out what happens to Hank Clark in the next one

Loved this book. Clever "political" thriller revolving around the secretive world of the CIA and the protection of "the Land of The Free". While dirty deeds and treachery are the corner stones of the "Intelligence" world there is a clear distinction made between the " baddies and the good guys" . A thoroughly entertaining yarn not as cerebrally challenging as a John le Carre but more substantial, believable and rewarding than a typical James Bond.

Thoroughly entertaining

this was a fast-paced book with some exciting sequences. for once Rapp was not a particularly attractive main character and it was purely story line that carried this.

A little too intricate in the upper levels of Washington and not enough Mitch Rapp action! Still a good story though!

Not bad!

Classic Mitch Rapp

Reading the majority of the series I returned to an early book. Sullivan does not compare to George Guidall one of the best narrators. The story impeccable. A must read filled with amazing intrigue.

Another outstanding novel by Vince Flynn

I am totally engrossed in these stories and Mitch Rapp is the ultimate warrior and is a fantastic character. can't wait to start the next book as this was left on a cliff hanger

another fantastic book by Vince Flynn
