3.5 Stars - A solid last entry for Kyle Mills in the Mitch Rapp series. I likely won't continue beyond this point unless I finally start to like the new author's style. Sure, this was as satisfying conclusion as this series could hope for, but I think the previous one was probably better. Rapp's stake in the game this time is really as high as ever before. It lacks some of the tension, compared to the last one at least, of previous entries. He even says frequently that he's in a bad situation but he's been in worse... There was also quite a bit of questionable decision making on his part, I thought, and usually Rapp's top tool is actually his brains over brawn. Still, there's no lack of action, sinister bad guys, or fun moments with Rapp and his team. Steven Weber also did a great job with the audiobook with big shoes to fill from the previous narrator.
