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

Another phenomenal early Rapp tale!

Dynamite story! Like watching a great Bond or Bourne film in your mind's eye!

The narration was ... hideous isn't right but was not at all good - the first 1/2 of the story all I could hear was Cartman of South Park reading - if you're a South Park fan you'll easily get it - otherwise, each line of the narrative ending in a questioning tone/voice was just bad.

I was eventually entralled enough to stop hearing the bad and loved the nice wrapped bow we finally get at the end of this one!!

Narrator ruined book

The voice of this narrator is awful. It somehow sounds like a 1950s movie. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make it through this book.

Great story line

The cussing could be less. But the plot was really great. It has a lot of moral dilemmas that keeps you wondering what will happen next.

Narrator Divergent

The book and story are excellent- unfortunately the narrator, and his voices were very divergent from previous narrators in the series, and made the story awkward and less engaging.

Another excellent, well written, thrilling story by Vince Flynn.

Overwhelming descriptive language, might leave you in the dust. He explains in detail how certain things work in this secret world. he exposes politicians, he exposes power from what it is. And the way it ends is so enjoyable.

Poor Narrator

The melodrama the narrator tried to achieve fell short. it wasn't natural at all.

illustration of a bad narrator ruining a book

Takes some doing to make Mitch Rapp sound like a beta male and Vince Flynn sound like a pedantic second rate writer.
But this narrator manages both.
So irritating.
Inflection, pacing, voice matters. This guy? - ugh

Not the right narrator

Love the book series but like the others, hard to listen to. Narrators voice does not work for this type of book.

Fast paced, great characters and great narration as well. Well worth listening to, even if you have already read the book.
