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.

Excellent prequel novel

Sadly this was the last prequel novel the late great Vince Flynn wrote and it’s a shame because this and American Assassin are arguably my favorite Mitch Rapp novels and I would’ve loved to have seen more missions between here and Transfer of Power where Mitch first appeared. The performance is excellent and seeing Mitch take down Victor is a true highlight moment

Edge of your seat action throughout the book

Fantastic description of the characters, Believable story line. Excellent storytelling. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great (read) listen!

Kept my attention in MOST every page! Guidall's reading is unsurpassed --- he made the characters come alive!

WELL WORTH YOUR TIME!!!

This is a must read!!

What did you love best about Kill Shot?

I have read all of Mitch Wrapp Series. This by far is the best one yet.

Guidall makes Mitch Rapp

This is the Vince Flynn I love, but George Guidall makes it better. You have to have someone who can sound like the character and George does it in spades. Very entertaining.

Interesting and engaging book!

What made the experience of listening to Kill Shot the most enjoyable?

This book was awesome! Really interesting and it never got boring at any time. I am looking forward to listen to rest of the series.

Listened to It twice already!

What made the experience of listening to Kill Shot the most enjoyable?

I love getting the background of Mitch Rapp and Stan Herly, and I really love how Mitch takes care of that idiot Victor from American Assassin! Can't wait for the next one, I guess Vince is going to have to explain what happened along the way with his girlfriend because he never mentions her in any of his first books only these two new books.

really enjoyed the book

Great book. I am really enjoying the series. Idk why the next 2 books have a different narratior. but will suffer through to get back on track.

Powerful , Suspenseful, Absolutely captivating

once you start the book you'll never want to put it down, Mitch is now the new Jason Bourne because you wanna know the ending and how it goes down.

Good series

Good series. And the good guys always eventually win. I'm looking forward to book 3.
