Publisher's summary

Newly appointed CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy is the target of an inside plot to destroy her and prematurely end the American President's term. To make matters worse, Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race - something Israel has vowed to stop. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, the president calls on his secret weapon: top counter-terrorism operative Mitch Rapp. But with only two weeks to take out the nukes, Rapp is up against a ticking clock - and impossible odds.

Take another thrill ride with Mitch Rapp.
©2002 Vince Flynn (P)2011 Simon & Schuster

Not crazy about the narrator.

I prefer I prefer George Guidall. The narrator needs to learn the English language. He mispronounced a lot of words, like Milan, Italy, short lived, and more.

Never listen to this performer!

I love the Mitch rapp books. Barely made it through this because of the guy doing the voice. It was screechy. He was so bad I will never buy another book with him.

Good Book - Terrible performance

I would just like to know what fool decided that Mitch Rapp should sound like a whiny putz. I read this book a long time ago, and decided that I wanted to go through all of the books in order again on Audible. First 3 were great. I am hoping that I can get through this one. The reader has made that almost impossible. I can't imagine anyone thinking this was a good voice to put forward for Mitch Rapp. Couldn't have been a worse choice. Very disappointed as to date I had been enjoying revisiting the series.

Narrator's rendering is unnecessarily dramatic

A well written story that holds the readers interest. The narration is a bit overly dramatic.

OMG. The reader is horrible!!

He consistently mispronounced ordinary words. His inflection was like a horrible sing-song that vacillated between an inaudible whisper to an ear-piercing shout. Whoever hired this guy should be fired. The story was great. Loved it.

Great story, not so great performance.

The story is the only thing that kept me listening to this book because the performance was very good at all in my opinion.

Didn't care for the narrator

Great story as with the others, but the narrator has such a whiney voice that he makes every character sound like a bunch of childish imbeciles.

Entertaining addition - Dodgy narration.

The narrator mispronounced several words. The pronunciation of a major character's name was changed in this version from the previous performances.

Decent story, annoying voice.

The reader of this audio book is completely wrong for the book. I enjoy these books, could barely get through it.
