Counterterrorist agent Mitch Rapp is on a collision course with America’s most feared enemy in this white-knuckle political thriller from “the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there” (The Providence Journal) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin.

No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Iran’s billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood—American blood.

Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Iran’s government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah—and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe. This story blends global tension, covert operations, and high-stakes suspense, perfect for readers of CIA counterterrorism novels and political thrillers set in the Middle East. Espionage Genre Fiction Political Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Middle East Iran War Fiction

Flynn does not disappoint again, great knowledge of middle east issues and great plot line… thoroughly enjoyed it as an audible listen, just as much as reading it about 10 years ago..

Terrific read

I finished it in 2 days. One of the best books of the series so far. I love Irene as a character and to see her in the thick of danger was cool, and Mitch going apeshit was unbelievably riveting and exciting beyond measure!!

couldn't stop listening
