About this ebook

“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 history—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 page.

Ratings and reviews

You can tell it is not Vince Flynn behind the words, however Kyle Mills is showing he may be able to keep the Mitch Rapp series going strong, this was a good read, the characters were mostly on point from their histories and the story was fast and moving around the darker shadows through the world of 'counter terrorism specialist's Mitch Rapp, I hope it will continue to be the characters that Flynn made for us while Mills designs the story's for them going forward. I do suggest to read if you are a fan of the previous Rapp/Flynn series

As much as I enjoy this series and Mich Rapp's character, I still miss Vince Flynn's writing. The story is excellent and the "call back" to three forgotten characters was fairly inspired, but their development through the story - with the exception of Grisha - felt as though it lacked a more intimate feel.

Can you please write a book without so much cursing in it. I'm not stupid enough to not believe the kind of language is said ... having been a Hospital corpsman myself. However, I hold with the believe that a good writer doesn't have to use swear words everytime something doesn't go their way.
