Before he was considered a CIA-super agent, before he was thought of as
a terrorist's worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and
admired by politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a star college
athlete with an untapped instinct for violence.
Tensions in the Middle East are simmering when Central Intelligence
Angency Director Irene Kennedy pays a visit to Syracuse University,
where she hopes to recruit none other than Mitch Rapp, a student who
has quickly climbed up the academic and athletic ranks. At first
glance, he appears like any other smart, good-looking American college
kid. Under the surface, however, a tempest rages. Tragedy entered
Mitch's life a year before when 35 of his classmates, including his
girlfriend, perished on Pan Am flight 103. Since then, Mitch has
grieved their senseless deaths and has felt helpless in his desire for
revenge. When Kennedy arrives on campus, his career path is suddenly
laid out for him.
Nine months later, after gruelling training, Mitch finds himself in
Istanbul on his first assignment, which is to assassinate the Turkish
arms dealer who sold the explosives used in the Pan Am attack. Mitch
hits his target but quickly sees, for the first time, what revenge
means to the enemy. When Mitch's mentor and a fellow recruit are
kidnapped and tortured by a dangerous group of Islamic jihadists, he
must stop at nothing to save them.
