Top secret data has been stolen from the CIA, and the only man who knows its hiding place is dead. CIA operative Mitch Rapp must race to find the classified information in this blistering novel that picks up where The Last Man left off in Vince Flynn's New York Times bestselling series. Joseph "Rick" Rickman, former boy wonder at the CIA, stole a massive amount of top secret and hugely compromising intel concerning classified operations all over the world, offering it (and himself) to the Pakistani secret forces. Only his plans went awry when CIA director Irene Kennedy sent Mitch Rapp to hunt him down. It turns out that killing Rickman didn't solve anything--in fact, the nightmare is only intensifying. Rickman stored the potentially devastating data (CIA assets, operatives, agents) somewhere only he knew, and somehow, from beyond the grave, he still poses a mortal threat to America. Now it's a deadly race as both the Pakistanis and the Americans search for Rickman's accomplices and the information they are slowly leaking to the world. Will Rapp outrun and outthink his enemies, or will the Pakistanis find it first and hold America hostage to their dream of becoming the world's new nuclear superpower?… (more)
Ex-CIA agent, the deceased Joe Rickman has set up a series of information dumps to destabilize the CIA, especially Irene Kennedy and Mitch Rapp. In the meantime, Pakistan is gearing up to become the first Islamic superpower, and the sneaky head of its intelligence agency (ISI) is working to become the next President. To stop the leaks, Mitch has to enlist the help of fellow assassin Louis Gould, who killed the love of Rapp's life. Lots of the usual mayhem, in exotic locations: Switzerland, Russia, Pakistan, Rome. I am glad that Kyle Mills will continue Vince Flynn's work, but I found his version of Mitch Rapp to be more hard headed. 3.5 stars. ( )
This is my second Mitch Rapp series book and it was not a page turner compared to the American Assassin. I still love the character but was having a hard time getting into the book. Towards the end seems like the bad guys gave up too easy. ( )
Mitch Rapp has just gotten old and tired in my head... He just does the same thing over and over and over. Ragheads are always the enemy and the Director CIA is always on his side. Read, repeat, read, repeat. so, I gave up in the middle of this one. Maybe I'll take up Mitch Rapp in a year or so and finish the series...maybe not. ( )

Book description
When Joe “Rick” Rickman, a former golden boy of the CIA, steals a massive amount of the Agency’s most classified documents in an elaborately masterminded betrayal of his country, CIA director Irene Kennedy has no choice but to send her most dangerous weapon after him: elite covert operative Mitch Rapp.
Rapp quickly dispatches the traitor, but Rickman proves to be a deadly threat to America even from beyond the grave. Eliminating Rickman didn’t solve all of the CIA’s problems—in fact, mysterious tip-offs are appearing all over the world, linking to the potentially devastating data that Rickman managed to store somewhere only he knew.
It’s a deadly race to the finish as both the Pakistanis and the Americans search desperately for Rickman’s accomplices, and for the confidential documents they are slowly leaking to the world. To save his country from being held hostage to a country set on becoming the world’s newest nuclear superpower, Mitch Rapp must outrun, outthink, and outgun his deadliest enemies yet.
