Consent to Kill: A Thriller (Mitch Rapp Book 8) by Vince Flynn (Epub)

Description

For more than a decade, CIA superagent Mitch Rapp has been on the front line of the war on terror. Now, he’s on a race against time to save one more life—his own—in this “fast, fun read” (People).

The influential father of a slain terrorist demands retribution for the death of his son at Rapp’s hands. In the tangled, duplicitous world of espionage there are those, even among America’s allies, who feel Mitch Rapp has grown too effective at his deadly job. They have been looking for an excuse to eliminate the number one counterterrorism operative, and they are determined to seize the chance with an explosive international conspiracy. Now the hunter is the hunted, and Rapp must rely on his razor-sharp instincts for survival—and justice—as he unleashes his fury on those who have betrayed him.

⭐ I suppose that after reading an author or a political/spy series as focused as this Mitch Rapp – Vince Flynn pairing has been, one begins to notice a certain trend or tendency in the literary content or the general character development/maintenance of the main protagonists. Perhaps it is due to the overt length of this particular work (465 pages hardcover) or because of the nature of this particular storyline, but we are definitely starting to see the limits of Flynn’s literary capabilities, and as a result, this entry into the series was, I felt, the weakest thus far.Make no mistake though…Flynn is just as magnificent as he’s always been at describing the intrigue of international terrorist affairs and the actions that the United States takes in uncovering and subduing these malicious acts. But it is when he engages Rapp on the home-front, especially in a domesticated setting, with a clearly mis-matched/mis-characterized wife, and then attempts dialogue, completely banal and cliched, that we see a substantive loss of credibility. And it is within this volume that these situations seem to suddenly separate him (Rapp) from the overall character personae that we’ve grown to know…all of which is not to say that Rapp can’t necessarily be domesticated…it’s just that Flynn’s depictions have suddenly grown rather trite and non-sellable. And, there are far too many of them here that offset the storyline in a negative fashion.Also, and I don’t mean to keep belaboring the negative points or sounding insensitive, but there are far too many Arabic names here to keep track of…perhaps it’s unfortunate but it has been a proven literary fact that for the average American reader, even of these international terrorist/espionage thrillers, the number of complex Arab names must be kept to a realistic minimum. Here, though, Flynn is throwing them around at an alarming rate, rapidly losing the reader right from the very beginning…it almost requires a pad and pencil to keep up, a mortal sin for a novelist. The characters do work themselves out in the end but there are too many moments in-between where we lose sight of who we’re actually talking about.This plot begins with a unique turn for a Mitch Rapp novel…following the “removal” of one of these Arab terrorists, a contract is taken out on Rapp’s life by his supremely wealthy father. Sub-contracting it through a former Stasi German who then further sub-contracts it (??) through a French assassin and his girlfriend/partner, we watch the confluence of events that lead to the showdown between assassin and Rapp. Needless to say, Rapp survives, but not without telling consequences…and with the revenge sector of his brain in full fury, his supporters in the government know he will stop at nothing to bring down those who perpetrated this act. Political and international intrigue ensue, of course, and it’s a race, a “kill or be killed” plot to the end that puts Rapp once again on the front line of world terror.Flynn also continues his mastery of military tactics and weapons here and this is what continually sells these novels for me. He is profound with locations and attack plans which make me wonder (like virtually all his other readers) where he gets such detailed, inside information…this work is especially beguiling for the intricate revenge plans that Rapp takes in foreign countries.So, in summary, “Consent To Kill” was not only a turning point for the Mitch Rapp character, it was for me as well…claiming the same excellence in political/military intrigue, it dissipated rather severely in terms of literary writing quality. For those who might pick this up without having read the catalogue up to it, I’m sure that it stands out…for those of us that’ve followed along from the beginning however, my belief is that we’re seeing a major chink in the armor. The interactive dialogue here is approaching juvenile (most definitely including our main protagonist) while the supporting character structure has taken a marked step down. All this will certainly not stop me from continuing with this series, it’s only my hope that these charges will see it get better.

⭐ Book Review – My favorite Vince Flynn/Mitch Rapp novel is Consent to Kill. This book is classic action drama as Mich Rapp is out to settle a score against terrorists with consent from the president. It is tight writing, dramatic drama and fast pace action all tied into a tight knot. I don’t always want to read business books or serious literature, so this book served as great ‘brain candy’ which is why I am hooked on Mitch Rapp. Once again Vince Flynn has provided an excellent backdrop of two storylines with Mitch Rapp smack dab in the middle of everything. This time he has a personal vendetta as well as a ‘consent to kill’ the bad guys – the terrorists. One thing readers should know is that Consent to Kill is Flynn’s longest (thickest) book – 465 pages! Somehow, Flynn managed to make each one of his novels different, not just a rehash of the previous terrorist/assasin a$$-kicking book but a new and exciting action thriller. He abandoned the unspoken rule about not killing off other major players and he managed to keep each plot fresh with new twists and various turns. His books are rarely predictable because the details in each book changes, leaving the reader feeling like each book is their first Flynn/Rapp rendition. Flynn also repeats many of the main characters in each book, leaving the reader with a feeling that they know everyone in the series. I highly recommend Consent to Kill for both avid fans and newbies. There is always enough mention of prior books to make the series completely understandable and enjoyable but not overly repetitious. Again, Consent to Kill is my personal favorite because it literally was one of Vince Flynn’s best pieces of work…! RIP Vince…! Mitch is still on watch!

⭐ The events that transpired in this novel were to be expected. That’s if the legend if Mitch Rapp and his exploits were to continue to grow. As always, you’re never disappointed with a Rapp book as long as the focus stays on the main character and eschews commentary on the politics of the day. There are good and bad on both sides of the aisle, IMHO.Good story, great action, with memorable deeds and people. Really, really good storytelling. There were some that escaped retribution, but maybe in a future book? One can only hope.Buy it, read it and enjoy!!!

⭐ Not your typical Mitch Rapp as he is the hunted instead of the hunter. Don’t want to give away the plot or any surprises. This is different on many levels and we see a Mitch we don’t often see. A personal side and glimpses into the man not often discussed. Mitch is still the same when he goes into action, never fear. There are just some things that affect him and makes him reflect. Some may criticize the book and find faults but we are going in a different direction for Mitch based on some events. Cant really go into those without giving things away.Mitch reflects on his life and still answers some questions with his style of violence. The ending may be criticized by some but it is a chance for Mitch to be human and make a decision based on life events. Don’t find fault with him for the decision he makes. Still the best series of novels in a long while and Mitch is Mitch for all who follow him. Don’t hesitate to read this one

⭐ In my opinion, this is the best book in the series so far. This book is a bit longer (465 pp.), but was well worth it. There are multiple plot angles with several different people trying to kill Mitch Rapp (but all traced back to the Arabs) and there are several surprises in the book with the ending being the biggest one for me (although there is a big one in the middle of the book). To fully appreciate the book, it is probably best to have read the previous books in the series. They are all good. I’ll read the next one for sure.

⭐ This is an overall all review of the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn. I have been on a tear, reading this series since I discovered Mitch Rapp in the first book – American Assassin. I just can’t stop reading these books. I am now into book 7 in the series and my review of each has to be virtually identical. This is a tremendous series with each book as exciting, intriguing, and timely as the next. I cannot recommend them enough. There is spy craft, politics, adventure, treason, military background, heroism and on and on. Flynn develops the characters well and each one holds your interest as he folds each into the stories. I am a Lee Childs – Jack Reacher fan and I never thought anyone could do better, but I have to admit the Vince Flynn with this Mitch Rapp series has equaled, if not out done Childs. I can’t wait to get to book 8!

⭐ I have read and enjoyed other Mitch Rapp books but this one, I believe, far surpasses the others. The tempo never stops and I was riveted from start to finish. Putting down the book before I had finished just was not an option I thoroughly recommend this if you are a Mitch Rapp fan.

⭐ I am new to Vince Flynn and his writing but I have to say, I am hooked by the end of his first sentence. His style of writing is so appealing to me and the fact that Mitch Rapp is part of it, makes it more so. I listened to this book in hopes of being able to fall asleep peacefully but that did not happen. It was full of intensity and emotion. One cd went by then another and I was still awake going into the third. The involvement he is able to put the reader into is just plain amazing. I think this will probably be my favorite but still have a few more to listen to and with each one, I change my mind. If you like reading about our government and its by product agencies this is definitely the author to follow. Mitch Rapp is an expert on terrorism and the middle east. He speaks the language, has plenty of help but still finds it in his heart to love and be loved. He travels the world to keep us safe and does a fine job of it. I highly recommend anything Vince Flynn has written.

⭐ I’ve followed the Mitch Rapp series from the beginning and have read them all but something about this one made me come back and read it again. Literature lost an artist when Vince Flynn passed away but I’m glad they didn’t let Mitch did with him and have continued the series.Loss a true artist when Vince Flynn passed but

⭐ Outstanding episode in the Mitch Rapp series. In this entry the politics and grandstanding of Washington DC took a back seat to the reality of fighting Islamic terror. This was the best edition of the Mitch Rapp saga since American Assassin.
