Mitch Rapp is back and this time he's going rogue, not that this is a big shock to loyal readers of the late Mr. Lynn's creation. Mitch is tasked with a mission by the POTUS that can be defined on my as unorthodox to say the least. In short, hunt down and assassinate members of the Saudi royal family Why? Aren't they on our side? Well, maybe not. It seems that POTUS believes these family members are actually working with ISIS. It is soon discovered that the king’s nephew is discovered funding ISIS. This forces Mitch to make a life changing decision. He quits the CIA and forms what is essentially of contract killers and rogues to help him

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. ( )

3 stars is very generous for this effort, really 2.5 stars. 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. ( )
