A Mitch Rapp Novel by Kyle Mills

By: Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills

Narrated by: Steven Weber

The #1 New York Times bestselling series continues as Mitch Rapp faces off with Russia in this high-octane installment that is “ripped straight from next week’s headlines” (The Real Book Spy).

Mitch Rapp hates owing anyone a favor—especially when it’s the world’s most powerful crime lord. But when Damian Losa calls, Mitch is honor bound to answer.

The Syrian government has created a highly addictive new narcotic that it plans to distribute throughout Europe. It’s a major threat to Losa’s business and he’s determined to stop it by any means necessary. Rapp is the perfect choice for the mission. Not only does he have extensive experience operating in the Middle East, but he’s also entirely expendable.

As he crosses into war-torn Syria, Rapp quickly discovers a shocking truth. The new drug isn’t being produced by Damascus to prop up the government’s collapsing finances. Instead, it was created by Russia’s asymmetrical warfare unit as a weapon against the West.

With far more than Damian Losa’s interests at stake, Rapp devises a desperate plan that forces him and his team onto a battlefield where the United States is virtually powerless, and allegiances shift almost hourly. Further, if Russia uncovers their plot, it will set off a confrontation between the two countries that could change the course of history in this “bullet train to high adventure” (Townhall).

Can't get past the narrator change

I am sure this is a great book like all the others but I can't get past the narrotor change. I tried pushing through but found the narration to be too much of a distraction for me.

Life long fan but… it’s bad!

No way anyone could ever defend this narrator he can’t even say Irene correctly!!! If you are a fan of this. Series please read this book, and you will only be mildly upset! Not a Mitch Rapp Novel!

Disappointed

The story was very slow to develop and very dry at times. I had to stop and start multiple times. This book felt like Kyle Mills knew it was his final book and the storyline is not his usual work.

My biggest issue is the narrator of the audiobook, it makes me have to stop and restart. I can only take so much of his boring reading.

I expected more

I always gain a little world knowledge from this series. I’ve become to love the character Mitchell Rapp. He faced no real adversity in the novel. If he has to go, I rather he go out with a bang. Pretty anticlimactic but I actually enjoyed the Narrator but I felt no Mitch in his voice. I say give it another try (Wishful thinking). Good bye Mr Rapp you’ll be truly missed.

Not the best

I was pretty excited for the latest book to release, but this was a disappointment. I’m sure thats partly due to George not being the narrator (it’s hard to visualize the characters with a new voice). The story line wasn’t great, either.
