desertcart.com: Kill Shot: An American Assassin Thriller (Audible Audio Edition): Vince Flynn, George Guidall, Simon & Schuster Audio: Books

Review: MITCH RAPP - THE EARLY YEARS - As a long-time reader of the Mitch Rapp series and a Vince Flynn fan I was more than looking forward to the release of "Kill Shot" and I wasn't disappointed. Mr. Flynn has a writing style that is engaging and knows just how much detail to provide for you to enjoy the ride. This book picks up where "American Assassin" left off; exploring the recruitment and early career of Mitch Rapp. In "Kill Shot" we learn that Mitch has been eliminating a long list of terrorists and their supporters in short order. His reputation has preceded him, literally, as his current target, a Libyan oil minister with ties to terrorists, is being used as a pawn by others higher in the terrorist food chain to lure this very effective assassin into a trap. Things go terribly wrong and a blood-bath massacre threatens to destroy CIA anti-terror operations and irreparably damage U.S./French relations. Obviously this all points to Mitch, who was shot during the ambush and must figure out how he was compromised and who he can trust. Not making this any easier, his trainer from The Farm, Stan Hurley, who has no love for the cocky new recruit even though Mitch saved his life in "American Assassin," believes this blood-bath was Mitch going over the edge. When the DDO, Thomas Stansfield, orders him to send over a group of operatives to find and if necessary, neutralize Mitch, he chooses "Victor" to lead the group - a goon of a trainer to whom we were introduced in "American Assassin." Aside from being a narcissistic sadist, Victor also has a personal score to settle with Mitch, who turned the tables on him, broke his arm, and made a complete fool of him during his training - something no one has ever done to Victor. The cat and mouse game that ensues, including treason and collusion by some in the U.S. and French intelligence agencies, makes for a great read. There have been several negative reviews of this book based on the lack of action. While I wouldn't consider this the most action-packed of the Mitch Rapp novels nor suggest this as a starting point for anyone not familiar with the series, there was more than enough suspense to make it very interesting and entertaining. As someone who has read the whole series, I found "American Assassin" and "Kill Shot" to be interesting back-stories providing additional character development. Since these are prequels and we know where certain individuals end up and the relationships that have formed from the earlier (chronologically later) books, we're given more character depth. As to the book ending at the 71% mark on Kindle, Mr. Flynn has addressed this in an e-mail to his readers and has already worked with those involved to correct it. They included free excerpts from his previous books in the e-book format which, because it's considered content, was included in the percentage calculation. I seriously doubt Mr. Flynn or anyone else was trying to cheat the readers. Even without the content, it's not that short of a book. The hard-back, which doesn't have the excerpts, is 385 pages, so the criticism that this seemed more like a short story is, in my opinion, unfounded.
Review: Old-fashion Thriller - Very enjoyable reading. Moves with action and excitement. This is my first Vince Flynn book and I’ll certainly read additional ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great novel.
*by B***1 on December 17, 2025*

I liked this one a little better than the first in this series. Lots of intrigue and enough villians to keep me guessing who was next on the kill list.
