This is the first book I have read of this series, so I know I am going to have missed a lot of the nuances of the Vince Gill/Kyle Mills/Mitch Rapp universe.

I was intrigued with the mad Russian leader, the dealings with the Ukraine and the baltic states. Very today's world, and with those in charge at the moment, WW3 could be around the corner.

I was kept on the edge of my seat, wondering with the turn of each page how Rapp and his men would fare.

Now, I don't know if it is like this in other books, however it did feel more like an Azarov story than a Rapp story? Grisha Azarov was very much front and centre of this story and at times it was like Rapp was not there at all -this could just be me though since I have come to the story so late?

Suspenseful and action packed, I did enjoy my first foray into Mitch Rapp-landia, and I will read more in the future (and eventually get back to where it all began).
