Description
Counterterrorist agent Mitch Rapp is on a collision course with America's most feared enemy in this white-knuckle thriller from "the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there" (The Providence Journal) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin.
No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Iran's billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood—American blood.

Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Iran's government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah—and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe.

      • premium: True

      • content: Though the title makes this book sound like a police procedural, this eighth Mitch Rapp thriller turns out to be a timely reflection of the current international scene. With George Guidall behind the microphone, listeners get a dependable narration that fails to generate excitement in only a few instances. Present here is the destruction of Iran's secret nuclear facilities, the possible involvement of an Israeli spy, the sinking of an Iranian ship, and the attempted rescue of Rapp's boss, who's been abducted in an ambush. Guidall's even voice brings depth to the suspense. But because his voice is a bit ponderous, he sometimes fails to ratchet up the exciting moments. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

        September 24, 2007
        After taking care of a loose end from Act of Treason
        (2006), Mitch Rapp looks into the destruction of Iran's secret nuclear weapons facility in bestseller's Flynn's predictable eighth thriller to feature the counterterrorism agent. Given the absence of any indication of either a U.S. or an Israeli air strike, Rapp takes the opportunity to persuade the U.S. administration to plot an operation to destabilize the fanatical Iranian regime by having an Iranian dissident group claim responsibility for what he suspects was an inside job by an Israeli spy. When the Iranian government sinks one of its own ships and blames the U.S., Rapp and CIA chief Irene Kennedy travel to Iraq to try to defuse the crisis, only to fall victim to an ambush (reminiscent of one in Tom Clancy's A Clear and Present Danger
        ) that results in Kennedy's abduction. Rapp races the clock to rescue his boss before she's tortured into revealing what she knows. Despite a backstory replete with personal loss, Rapp comes across as a one-dimensional killing machine, willing to do whatever needs doing to complete the mission.
