About this ebook

#1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture—and “the voice of today’s postmodern thriller generation” (The Providence Journal) delivers a pulse-pounding novel starring a young, hungry, and lethal operative named Mitch Rapp as he begins his career as a CIA superagent.

In the year since the CIA fully trained and then unleashed him, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet.

His latest target takes him to Paris but in the split second it takes the bullet to leave Rapp’s silenced pistol, everything changes. The tables have turned, and Rapp finds himself brutally outnumbered. In the same instant, he has become a liability.

Operating on his own and outside the control of his handlers, it soon becomes clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and cornered man. Because if anyone can survive and come out on top, no matter whom he must kill to get there, it’s Mitch Rapp.

The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been as Mitch Rapp embarks on the journey that will turn him into America’s most deadly asset. The non-stop and realistic action proves that “Flynn is a master—maybe the master—of writing thriller novels in which the pages seem to turn themselves” (Bookreporter).

Ratings and reviews

134 pages into this "story" I gave it up. Everyone paranoid about everyone else, retold from 6 different angles, I guess to build the suspense.... A phone call could have gone a long way here. Stereotypes galore for Arabs, spy agencies, policemen. Nothing original at all. A very boring non-thriller.

Kill Shot rolls along like the previous Mitch Rapp stories -full of detail, suspense, plot twists - but the ending just, well ended. It almost felt like Flynn was facing a deadline and rushed the last chapter. Regardless, if you are a Flynn and Rapp fan, you are going to purchase and enjoy Kill Shot anyway....

Enjoyable read. Charecters a bit thin and the action pacing more sparse than one would expect but never the less i ran through nearly non stop.
