About this audiobook

An unprecedented and terrifying bioterrorism plot threatens to kill millions in the midst of a divisive presidential election in this “gut punch of a tale that exploits our greatest fears” (The Providence Journal) from the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series.

A toxic presidential election is underway in an America already badly weakened by internal divisions. While politicians focus entirely on maintaining their own power, ISIS kidnaps a brilliant French microbiologist and forces him to begin manufacturing anthrax. Slickly produced videos chronicling his progress and threatening an imminent attack are posted to the internet, intensifying the hysteria gripping the United States.

ISIS recruits a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the bioweapon across the border, but it’s really just a diversion. The terrorist organization needs to keep Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy distracted long enough to weaponize a deadly virus that they stumbled upon in Yemen. If they succeed, they’ll trigger a pandemic that could rewrite the world order.

Rapp embarks on a mission to infiltrate the Mexican cartels and track down the ISIS leader who he failed to kill during their last confrontation. But with Washington’s political elite increasingly lined up against him, he knows he’ll be on his own.

Another stellar and white-knuckled thriller, Lethal Agent proves that “Mitch Rapp is the hero we need, maybe now more than ever” (The Real Book Spy).

Ratings and reviews

Another exciting entry in the Mitch Rapp series timeline. I love what Kyle Mills has done with Rapp and his path, with this entry truly harkening back to older novels in the series. It was a fascinating take on potential future "non-traditional" warfare with an often chilling look at what our country and planet could be in for. Additionally, the political elements in this novel really highlight and mimic the divisiveness that exists now in several countries. I found myself agreeing with both Mitch and Claudia in their various assessments of the state of the United States and I love that Kyle did not shy away from the topic. As usual, there was a good deal of Mitch being Mitch and doing things the rest of us mere mortals could not hope to do, but that is a good part of the reasons he is such a beloved character. This was truly a wonderful entry in his ongoing life. I was thrilled to be a Mitch Rapp Ambassador again and could not put down the ARC from the minute I started reading.

Excellent as always
