I'm Glad Audible finally has this series!

Revisado: 12-03-24

A great series for any one looking at the early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! In this first book Lund introduces the Steed family that he weaves into all the major Church events!

The editing of the Audible version isn't the best they used the CDs to make it. (The sound is great so no worries about that) But you will hear this is the end of CD X or the start of CD X a few times.

The good thing is it doesn't distract from the story.

Great first book for Don Bentley as Mitch Rapp!

Revisado: 09-05-24

Don Bentley’s foray into the world of Mitch Rapp is fast paced and intriguing. Rapp never fails to twist the plot line and bring resolution to multiple story lines in exciting and unique ways. The introduction of new friends and old adversaries keep Rapp in continuity with his history and character.

Steve Weber isn't George Guidall but does a great job!

CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp has a man that he gave an IOU too call it in. That man is Mexican billionaire Damian Losa is one of the biggest and powerful criminals in the world. He wants him to go into Syria and look into a new drug they are distributing. It's costing him tons of money and he wants who is really behind it and make a deal where they can both make money.

With it being addictive and people doing anything to get the next hit, the drug is said to cause irreversible brain damage and killing large numbers! Russia wants to import it to the west and take America out! Can Rapp find the ones calling the shots and stop it at the same watching his back because he knows he can't trust Losa?

A great book to end the Era of Kyle Mills writing the Mitch Rapp books! I look forward to see where author Don Bentley takes The best Protagonist in books next!
I want to thank Vince Flynn's family, Kyle, Atria books, Simon & Schuster, Emily Bestler Books and soon to be Don for Keeping Mitch Rapp in the fight!

Tired of congress not doing anything, John decides to show them just how easy it is to turn out the lights. He offers the info to the Russians they send in a long time sleeper agent Sonya Vance to confirm the information. The Kremlin decides the plan is too risky and the possibility of relation too high.

Rapp Must stop a Bioweapon attack!

Revisado: 09-24-19

This has the feeling of my favorite Vince Flynn’s #MitchRapp Memorial Day.
Rapp must stop a guy that he thought he had killed a while back (Enemy of the State: Mullah Sayid Halabi ). from hitting America with a bioweapon attack!
Rapp asks for and finally gets the golden ticket! He finds out the attack will be worse than anyone ever thought of! At the same time finds out the attack isn't what they thought it was. Mullah is working with the Mexican drug cartel to get it into America.
Rapp must risk everything to find a way to stop it and not get infected. While working in an area where he doesn’t know the language, the players or the climate.
If all this wasn't bad enough Rapp must deal with the politics. Even worse it's the politics of a presidential election with a senator that hates the CIA being the most likely to be the next POTUS!

I started with this one.

Revisado: 05-21-19

I started with this book I knew it was a part of a series but I started here anyway. After I read it I didn't feel like I missed any part of the story. I have now gone back and bought and listened to all of them.

You can start anywhere in this series and not feel you missed out on something. Of course listening to them in order you see the development of each character. Rick has no real "hero" in this series it is based around the Sub, POUTS, NSA and a Seal Team. Which gives this series a different feel/read to it from all other thriller!

One of the Best if not the BEST Rapp book!

Revisado: 09-05-17

Any additional comments?

When President Alexander finds his hands tied after he gets Intel that says a Saudi royal family member is giving a large amount of money to ISIS. He calls on the one man that he knows that will get to the bottom of it no matter where the Intel takes him Mitch Rapp.

ISIS is planning to attack America using the money they are getting from the Saudi family member. Aali Nassar head of the General Intelligence Directorate is trying to make a deal with ISIS right under the nose of ailing King Faisal.

Nassar is planning on taking over when King Faisal finally dies. In the mean time he is keeping the king in the dark about what is really going on & his plans to take over.

Those plans start to unravel when Kennedy starts to follow the money trail that is leading back to Nassar. The President is pissed and has had enough with the Saudi’s helping ISIS!

Just as Rapp starting to settle in to his new home and deciding on a life with Claudia and Anna plus some new neighbors that he will never need to worry about. He gets a call in the middle of the night from the President. He asks Rapp to come to the white house where much like their first meeting (back in 2007’s Protect and Defend) he tells Rapp his plan to deal with terrorist is to “blitz hard and blitz often” he lays out his plan to deal with the Saudi and ISIS.

The next day Rapp does the unthinkable and retires from the CIA and cuts all ties to them Kennedy and Mike Nash. To find out the truth about the Saudi, ISIS ties and what they are planning. But he needs a team and he can’t use his go to team of Scott Coleman and his guys because of their ties to the CIA & Government.

Rapp assembles his team made up entirely of characters that long time fans of the series have loved and hated. As with everything in life Murphy’s Law gets to have it’s say. Rapp finds himself wanted internationally after a situation involving one of King Faisal’s nephew’s makes headlines news around the world.

How does this end does Rapp find the truth and clear his name before the world’s governments including his own that sent him, find him? Hold on tight this has multiple surprises and well-timed twists that makes this a heart stopping thrill ride. This is a must for any Rapp fan and soon to be fans!

Kyle Mills has done a great job at keeping the qualities of all the characters that fans have come to know and love. As he is takes Rapp to a new level he is slowly bringing in his own style without losing the spirit of Vince Flynn!

While Memorial Day will always be my Favorite Vince Flynn Mitch Rapp book Enemy of State is my Favorite Rapp book so far.

Great news is that Kyle has signed up to do three more books can’t wait to see where he take Rapp next?
