Publisher's summary

Mitch Rapp returns to make a mortal enemy of Russia in this high-octane and up-to-the-minute installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from “one of the best thriller writers on the planet” (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 appears to have 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 send someone to keep him on top 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, not for profit but 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 human history.

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.

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.

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!

what a ride

I'm depressed the book is finished without a new one in sight it was and exciting 9+ hours of mitch doing what mitch does and I'm loving every second of it. Steven Weber did a fine job but he's not George I was saddened when I realized that he wasn't the narrator it took something from the experience.

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.

Not the best from Kyle

This was a disappointing finale for Kyle Mills in the Mitch Rapp series. I found myself looking forward to the end of the listen. George Guidall was by far the reader of the series and maybe his exit was a contributing factor.

Kyle Mills

I'm going to miss Kyle Mills writing for these novels. Always well done. He's kept the legacy of Vince Flynn going for all of us.
So long...

Narrator not great. Storyline not great.

I’m disappointed ☹️ wish it were better. I love the series but not this one. Maybe my last listen.

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.

It’s hard to listen to

It’s hard to follow the story with this narrator. Right when it started, I knew something was wrong…then I figured it out. What a disappointment. Have this book reread so it can get a proper review
