Weird title for a book, isn’t it? At least I thought as much when I picked up this Vince Flynn novel to scan its back cover for the story in a nutshell. The keywords were all there – Iran, Nuclear Facility, Israel, Mossad and the CIA. Enough of a reason to bring it home!
The plot is sinister and rather terrifying in today’s world where people are getting crazier by day and odds against something impossible happening are falling by the minute. This time the poor Russians have been given a break and so the Iranians are the bad guys. :-) Iran’s developing nuclear facility is blown to bits and the needle of suspicion points to Israel, and the US. Iran vows vengeance and this is the opportunity that the cold-blooded Lebanese terrorist Imad Mukhtar was praying for. However, there is one man standing between him and the destruction of the US – CIA operative Mitch Rapp.
If you want a glimpse into the complex world of international politics, this book is for you. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Only thing is that I wondered how the 5 daughters of the Iranian minister Ashani at the beginning of the book got reduced to 4 by the end of the book ;-) Any explanation, Mr. Flynn?
