The storyline is reasonably decent: Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, a long-time friend of America, is getting old. A rising, but humbly born man has risen to become Director of Intelligence and is plotting with ISIS to establish the new caliphate when Faisal dies. Mitch Rapp is summoned by the President, and asked to do whatever is necessary, but without any cover at all from the U.S. so Mitch quits the CIA, and cannot even rely on his usual special ops team. Instead, he taps old adversaries, which strains credibility. The Intelligence Director is killing off anyone who knows of his ties to ISIS, and pinning the blame on Mitch, eventually appealing to the U.S. President to bring back an FBI nemesis to capture Mitch. The problem is that Kyle Mills has changed Mitch Rapp's personality: while he is still a remorseless killer, his certainty about all that he does has waned, Irene Kennedy has turned into a marginal player, his #2 has retired, Hurley is dead, and the new supporting characters are weak and highly superficial, most especially Claudia. Kyle Mills is better than this. Time to rally. Wow Wow Wow, so much fun reading the book and now I'm sad to wait another year for #17. What a good thriller. Kyle Mills did such a wonderful job with Mitch Rapp series although I don't know if I agree with Rapp's romance side of things :) Picked up a hardcover. Too bad they changed the narrator for the series. Not that there's anything wrong with Scott Brick, but hearing his voice reminds me too much of Clive Cussler's characters. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:"In the world of black-op thrillers, Mitch Rapp continues to be among the best of the best" (Booklist, starred review), and he returns in the #1 New York Times bestselling series alone and targeted by a country that is supposed to be one of America's closest allies. After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its historyâ??the evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried and in return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. But when the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the furious President gives Rapp his next mission: he must find out more about the high-level Saudis involved in the scheme and kill them. The catch? Rapp will get no support from the United States. Forced to make a decision that will change his life forever, Rapp quits the CIA and assembles a group of independent contractors to help him complete the mission. They've barely begun unraveling the connections between the Saudi government and ISIS when the brilliant new head of the intelligence directorate discovers their efforts. With Rapp getting too close, he threatens to go public with the details of the post-9/11 agreement between the two countries. Facing an international incident that could end his political career, the President orders America's intelligence agencies to join the Saudis' effort to hunt the former CIA man down. Rapp, supported only by a team of mercenaries with dubious allegiances, finds himself at the center of the most elaborate manhunt in history. With white-knuckled twists and turns leading to "an explosive climax" (Publishers Weekly), Enemy of the State is an unputdownable thrill ride that will keep you guessing until the final pa Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Kyle Mills picks up the mantle left behind with Mr. Flynn's untimely death and has written a non-stop, highly readable, page turner. Enemy of the State is a volatile mix of covert ops, espionage and a take no prisoners thriller that is a great way to end your summer reading list. Fans of Mr. Flynn will not be disappointed and he himself would've probably loved this book as well. That speaks volume about the quality of Mr. Mills's writing. Highly recommend. ( )
