Fearless counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp finds himself directly in the line of fire in the latest riveting political thriller from New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn.
For years, Mitch Rapp's bold actions have saved the lives of countless Americans. His battles for peace and freedom have made him a hero to many, and an enemy to countless more. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage, there are those, even among America's allies, who want to see Mitch Rapp eliminated. They have decided the time has come.
Now, the powerful father of a dead terrorist demands vengeance in its simplest form -- an eye for an eye, and Rapp instantly becomes the target of an international conspiracy. This time, he must use all of his vigilance and determination to save himself before he can turn his fury on those who have dared to betray him.
Consent to Kill takes listeners behind the headlines and catapults them to the front lines of the global war on terror. It sizzles "with inside information, military muscle, and CIA secrets" (Dan Brown). Vince Flynn mixes military technology with his exclusive knowledge of Washington politics to create a hero that Americans will wish existed outside the realm of fiction.

Reseñas
I haven't read any of this series in quiet some time so was very happy to find that Mitch Rapp hadn't change one bit...didn't even get any older. He's one character that has the power to draw the reader in and keep you turning pages. It was an interesting plot with a very satisfactory ending and it seemed like a very quick read. There is a movie that was made supposedly from this book so having just finished the book, I watched it last night. There are so many major parts of the storyline that have either been changed or just left out that you would hardly recognize it. If you have read or plan to read this book and/or love this author...don't ruin it by watching the movie.
Rating: 5Interesting book. How a star killer, pursued by another killer, ultimately throws his gun into the ocean.
Rating: 3
Vince Flynn's writing evolved throughout his career and this book felt like an evolution of Mitch Rapp. A look into his human and vulnerable side. All superheroes have weaknesses and I feel like this book explored Rapp's weaknesses more so than any of the previous. It also illustrated the stupid mistakes that we all make in the face of blind rage and anger and what happens when we don't step back and make rational decisions. Really enjoyed this book.
Rating: 5Poignant, Vince Flynn draws you in and you feel like you are there as the story unfolds.
Rating: 5Great. Good spy story. It messed up my bedtime for two days last week.
Rating: 5I've listened to these in order and have enjoyed them all. This one might have been my favorite. Mitch Rapp......an assassin with a soul.
Rating: 5Usual high octane thriller from Vince Flynn. Very enjoyable.
Rating: 4Absolutely my favorite Mitch Rapp Novel of all time! If you have read all the books in the series leading up to this one, it will NOT disappoint. Vince Flynn is an amazing author who was taken too quickly. Read all of his books and enjoy them!
Rating: 5Mitch Rapp is one of the more interesting characters that I've come across in literature and Vince Flynn is an exceptional writer, so I had set a pretty high bar when I started reading Consent to Kill. Of the thrillers that I have read, Flynn has among the more realistic and gritty portrayals. Most international terrorist type novels are more fantasy than fiction. In Consent To Kill an ultra-rich Arab fundamentalist puts a massive bounty to have Mitch killed, bringing out some heavy hitters to participate in his assassination. When he survives the attempt, he is hell-bent on exacting revenge in the most ruthless fashion possible. Mitch is a pretty intense character to begin with, but he takes it to a new level in this novel. There was a high level of violence, so it's not for the squeamish, but it all added to the novel. He hunts down every single person who was involved in the attack, going off the grid. This may be the best of the Vince Flynn novels that I have read and I would highly recommend it.Carl Alves - author of Blood Street

Rating: 5Another outstanding Flynn entry....not quite as good as Memorial Day, but emotionally charged and gripping to keep you turning the pages feverishly until the very end. Can't wait to see where Mitch Rapp goes after the tragedy in his life from this book.
Rating: 4In Vince Flynn’s new political thriller, Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top anti-terrorist operative and star of numerous Vince Flynn thrillers, finds himself in an unfamiliar position. Fighting against a bounty on his head and resistance from the government he’s done so much to protect, Rapp must work without any rules or restrictions as the fight is brought to his own backyard. With a bum knee, a pregnant wife and a 20 million dollar bounty on his head bringing a deadly husband-wife-duo of assassins hot on his trail, its up to Mitch to win a game he’s very familiar with; the game of survival. I found Consent to Kill, though fairly predictable and stereotypical as far as the political genre and Flynn’s previous works go, to be a fast-paced and exciting read. Flynn’s hero is portrayed as invincible, giving a slightly fictitious feel to the story, but I still found guilty pleasure as Rapp dispatched terrorists, hired guns and any one else who had done him wrong. Overall, Consent to Kill, though somewhat predictable and stereotypical for the political thriller genre, is a very entertaining read that will keep you up and night plowing through pages till the exciting climax. My overall rating for this book would be a 7 out of ten.
Rating: 4Mitch Rapp's pregnant wife becomes an accidental casualty as Saudi terrorists want Rapp dead. Now, Mitch has been given the go-ahead to revenge his wife's death.
Rating: 3"For years, Mitch Rapp's bold actions have saved the lives of countless Americans. He has killed with impunity, tortured to avert disaster, and shown he will do whatever it takes to prevent terrorists from fulfilling their bloody wishes. His battles for peace and freedom have made him a hero to many, and an enemy to countless more. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage, there are those, even among America's allies, who want to see Mitch Rapp eliminated. They have decided the time has come. Now, the powerful father of a dead terrorist demands vengeance in its simplest form -- an eye for an eye, and Rapp instantly becomes the target of an international conspiracy. This time, he must use all of his vigilance and determination to save himself before he can turn his fury on those who have dared to betray him. "
Rating: 5Vince Flynn has become one of my favorite authors and Mitch Rapp one of my favorite characters. Consent to Kill find both at the top of their respective games (well, given that Mitch requires knee surgery, he might not be at the top of his game). Mitch continues to do to the "bad guys" what we all wish we could do to the them. In addition, this novel included several interesting new characters. Finally, Flynn provided a very surprising plot twist that was as gut-wrenching as it was unexpected. Bravo to an author in the thriller genre that is willing to take a chance that will have an emotional impact upon the reader. My main criticism of Flynn remains that, from time to time, he gets a bit "preachy" with his world view.
Rating: 5Another A+ book from Vince Flynn. Flynn is one of my favorite authors and never holds back in his books. Fantastic from top to bottom
Rating: 5
