Summary
 Don Bentley completes the trilogy begun with American Assassin by taking Mitch Rapp back to his fledgling assassin days, picking up where Kill Shot ended, on a mission to save the woman he loves amid a CIA showdown with the Russian intelligence services in a new thriller from the author of Vince Flynn’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.

The Central Intelligence Agency is in crisis.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Congress is questioning the organisation’s necessity. Interim CIA director Thomas Stansfield must fight for his agency’s survival while explaining why the previous candidate for his job was found murdered in a French hotel – surrounded by booze, cash, and dead men. Worst yet, a brilliantly run sting operation in Moscow has resulted in the arrest of America’s most prized Russian asset and the expulsion of his CIA handler.

With the CIA’s Moscow Station now paralysed by the catastrophic intelligence failure, Stansfield seeks help from Mitch Rapp, a newly minted assassin in the secretive Orion program. But Rapp has problems of his own: when his Swiss girlfriend Greta’s grandfather receives a box containing the head of a former Cold War comrade along with a note promising that Greta’s head will be next, Rapp finds himself on the frontlines in a war between the American and Russian intelligence services. To protect the woman he loves and save the CIA from destruction, Rapp must be willing to risk everything. Espionage Political Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Russia War Cold War

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook from start to finish. Don Bentley has done an exceptional job capturing the essence of the characters, especially the sharp wit and camaraderie between Mitch Rapp and Stan Hurley. The plot is gripping and expertly paced, filled with vivid detail that made me feel as though I were right there, witnessing every moment unfold. A special mention goes to the narrator, whose outstanding performance truly brought each character to life and elevated the entire listening experience.

Outstanding!

it took a little time to get used to the new narrator but he was good. The novel was more espionage than the usual Mitch Rapp and it was half way through before it felt like Mitch's story rather than he was one of many stories but Mitch was still true to character

I can feel the difference with the new author but it isn't bad

Actually good - Don Bentley has really captured the essence of these characters and Vince Flynn, this is the closest in the series to Vince Flynn’s original style. I wish that Mitch Rapp was in the book more though, too many side characters and too much Irene Kennedy.

Good

Particularly early on I felt that Mitch Rapp’s soul was missing from the book. It is not as much about Mitch as the earlier books which concentrated mainly on him. As the story developed it became obvious that the new author was subtly changing Rapp and the tales about him and the story improved as it progressed. I will certainly read the next one.

Pretty good

As above, love this author, but the constant having to find my place in the book was a real pain.

book will not hold listening place
