About this ebook

“One of the best thriller writers on the planet.” —The Real Book Spy

In the next thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series, it’s a race against the clock when ISIS takes out the entire US power grid and throws the country into chaos.

When Mitch Rapp captures ISIS’s top technology expert, he reveals that he was on his way to meet a man who claims to have the ability to bring down America’s power grid. Rapp is determined to eliminate this shadowy figure, but the CIA’s trap fails.

The Agency is still trying to determine what went wrong when ISIS operatives help this cyber terrorist do what he said he could—plunge the country into darkness. With no concept of how this unprecedented act was accomplished, the task of getting the power back on could take months. Perhaps even years.

Rapp and his team embark on a desperate search for the only people who know how to repair the damage—the ones responsible. But his operating environment is like nothing he’s experienced before. Computers and communication networks are down, fuel can no longer be pumped from gas stations, water and sanitation systems are on the brink of collapse, and the supply of food is running out.

Can Rapp get the lights back on before America descends irretrievably into chaos?

This compulsive thriller proves once again that the Mitch Rapp series is “the best of the best when it comes to the world of special ops” (Booklist, starred review).

Ratings and reviews

Great plot reveals itself right from the first chapter, however I only gave it a 4 star because the antagonist makes the most rudimentary mistake by appearing in a public Congressional hearing, while attempting to sell his destructive plan to hostile foreign actors , apparantly without caring at all about his identity being revealed. Without giving away the plot, I am somewhat disappointed that the author did not better cover this weak spot in the story.

In my opinion this is one of the best ones in this series so far. There really is only one big fault with it! It's to damned short... I have been a fan of Vince Flynns books since the start and am real glad that Kyle Mills is doing such a good job of keeping Mitch Rapp alive. This book really points a finger at how easy society can collaps today, stuff that we were prepared for once is mostly forgotten and most of us have no back up. In spite of all preppers and books about prepping most people are lost when they lose power and internet.

Everything I enjoy reading in this type of thriller. Never saw the next part coming and never imagined how it actually turned into something so close to home plus horrably real.
