Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML: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).… (more)
User reviews
There is a toxic presidential election with America weakened by internal divisions. Politicians focusing entirely on maintaining their own power and privilege and then ISIS kidnaping a French microbiologist, forcing him to begin manufacturing anthrax with plans to weaponize the deadly virus. If that isn’t enough, Mitch Rapp heads to Mexico to infiltrate the Mexican cartels and track down the ISIS leader who he failed to kill during their last confrontation. Of course Washingtons politicians are only out for their own good and try to get in Mitch, his men and Irene Kennedy’s way.
As I read the book it was as if some of this was, or could be happening now. Kyle has such a great grasp of the diversity of the American politicians and politics, that I felt as if this could be coming our way of we don’t start paying attention and Washington doesn’t remember that we are a country united.
Mitch seems more aggressive and tightly wound in this book and it makes you wonder will he ever be able to have a life that doesn’t require him to give all to our country. He has such loyalty to his friends, family and to America. I hope we have someone in our service that is like Mitch. I doubt it, but one can only hope.
Thank you Kyle Mills for never letting Mitch Rapp fade away, for keeping him strong, and continuing a favorite series without having us feel as if another author took over. You have stayed true to the characters and we truly appreciate it.
