Book Summary:
A Looming Threat in Iran
The novel opens with Azad Ashani, a high-ranking official in Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, watching a chilling demonstration by the Quds Force. The new weapon capability threatens to ignite a massive war in the Middle East. Ashani, who has previously served as a secret communication link between the Iranian government and CIA director Irene Kennedy, knows the gravity of the situation. He also understands that stopping this threat will require outside help, and there’s only one man who might be able to make a difference: Mitch Rapp.
The Hunt for Bin Laden
At the same time, the CIA has uncovered the location of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. With a small window of opportunity to capture or kill the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, Irene Kennedy is briefing the president on the urgency of the situation. However, before launching an operation on Pakistani soil, the president demands undeniable proof that bin Laden is present at the compound. Mitch Rapp is called in to gather the evidence necessary to set the mission in motion.
Two Fronts, One Man
As Rapp balances his duties between preventing war in the Middle East and hunting down bin Laden, the tension escalates. He faces treacherous enemies, political machinations, and a race against time. Through all the chaos, Rapp’s determination, skill, and sense of justice drive him to the brink as he attempts to complete both missions—each of which could have world-altering consequences.
