Since then, Mitch has grieved their senseless deaths and has felt helpless in his desire for revenge. Tragedy entered Mitch's life a year before when 35 of his classmates, including his girlfriend, perished on Pan Am flight 103. Under the surface, however, a tempest rages. At first glance, he appears like any other smart, good-looking American college kid. Tensions in the Middle East are simmering when Central Intelligence Angency Director Irene Kennedy pays a visit to Syracuse University, where she hopes to recruit none other than Mitch Rapp, a student who has quickly climbed up the academic and athletic ranks.
(Oct.Before he was considered a CIA-super agent, before he was thought of as a terrorist's worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a star college athlete with an untapped instinct for violence.
Flynn delivers his usual high-octane international thriller, but, in giving Rapp's backstory, he's infused it with more depth and heart than usual, and Guidall matches him beat for beat, proving himself a fine choice of storyteller.
Still, he is more than capable of pulling out the stops when the action kicks in, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats once the bullets begin to fly. George Guidall has a keen ear for dialogue, and his relaxed reading keeps Flynn's sometimes overheated prose and over-the-top plot grounded in a realm of believability. He's quickly recruited by the CIA and soon makes his first kill and is on his way to his first clandestine mission. Grief-stricken, he swears revenge on the terrorists. As a young man, Rapp lost his fiancée in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103. Taking a step back in time, he tells the story of how Rapp initially came to work for the CIA. With this 11th Mitch Rapp adventure, Flynn does something a little different.
