An All-American lacrosse player who considered taking a scholarship to North Carolina before following his high school sweetheart, Maureen Elliot, to Syracuse, Rapp is a physically gifted individual. One year prior, Rapp landed on Kennedy’s radar. Riding shotgun with Irene Kennedy–a brilliant young counterterrorism analyst with the CIA–the book opens with Rapp being dropped off at Stan Hurley’s remote training compound in southern Virginia. When readers first meet Mitch Rapp, he’s a grieving twenty-three-year-old who lost his girlfriend after terrorists blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Going back after penning ten novels as part of his best-selling franchise, Vince Flynn delivers this high-octane prequel, offering readers a look at the origin story of Mitch Rapp–one of the greatest, most beloved fictional characters ever created. (Editor’s note: This book was originally published in 2010, but is now being re-released with a brand new cover that ties directly into the ‘American Assassin’ movie coming out in September.)
