Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times best-selling author Vince Flynn is back with another nail-biting political thriller that follows the young Mitch Rapp on a deadly mission to hunt down the men responsible for the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack.

For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is currently in Paris without a single bodyguard.

Rapp finds him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With confidence in his well-honed skills and conviction of the man’s guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man’s skull. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes. The door to the hotel room is kicked open and gunfire erupts all around Rapp. In an instant the hunter has become the hunted. Rapp is left wounded and must flee for his life.

The next morning, the news breaks in Washington that Libya’s Oil Minister has been killed along with three innocent civilians and four unidentified men. The French authorities are certain that the gunman is wounded and on the loose in Paris. As the finger pointing begins, Rapp’s handlers have only one choice - deny any responsibility for the incident and pray that their newest secret weapon stays that way, avoiding capture and dying quietly. One person in the group, however, is not prone to leaving things to chance. Rapp has become a liability, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to be taken alive by the French authorities. But it will soon become clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and cornered Mitch Rapp.

Enjoyable, but suffers from sophomore slump

While I certainly did not DISlike this chapter in the Mitch Rapp story, I found that this one didn't grab me as much as American Assassin did. The ending/resolution felt a bit rushed, and lacked the satisfaction of a real comeuppance for the antagonists, what with them being given the easy way out, courtesy of Rapp. Hope the third installment kicks it back into high gear.

Great book

Any additional comments?

Listened to this one out of sequence but loved the others in the series and found that it didn't matter. I couldn't put this one down and may enjoyed this one! George Guidall did a great job in presenting!

Totally enjoyable

Great story line! Great reader! I was engaged throughout the entire story. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fun

A suspenseful, fun story, you can’t help but love the hero Mitch Rapp, and his trio of bosses.

Much Improved

This story flows much smoother than American Assassin. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Fantastic work!

Another amazing story by Vince Flynn. George Guidall is one of the best voice actors and narrators in the business. If you were not hooked after the first book, American Assassin You will be after this one.

Great Second in the Series ! 😱

First book introducing the series was, while fun, weak--and not likely to continue to engage, I thought.
I was wrong. The second installment is a great improvement in narration, a welcome foray into character development, a continued action packed pace of story, and quite nicely done.
I am going to pursue installment three. 😱

Gripping novel; best narrator out there

Trite but so true: I couldn’t put this book down. Stayed up way too late to finish it. Love George Guidall’s narration. 50% of the interest is due to his spot-on inflections and soothing voice. Love him.

Action packed. Fast moving.

Fast paced and full of action. Recommended for anyone who wants a great espionage read.

Finding out it was Victor with the pipe wrench.

The steamy romance scenes were almost too much to take. I had to pull off the interstate more than once.
