Capture or Kill

A Mitch Rapp Novel by Don Bentley

By: Vince Flynn, Don Bentley

Narrated by: Steven Weber

Mitch Rapp faces an Iranian foe bent on destabilizing the Middle East in this “bloody, electrifying adventure” (The Real Book Spy) from Vince Flynn’s #1 New York Times bestselling series, now written by the “worthy successor to Tom Clancy” (Publishers Weekly) Don Bentley.

April 2011: On a remote mountaintop overlooking the remains of the Iranian nuclear weapons program, Azad Ashani witnesses the successful demonstration of a new weapons system meant to upend the American-led war in Afghanistan. Ashani, director of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security and Irene Kennedy’s former back channel to the Iranian government, recognizes the demonstration’s true significance, and the nation-ending conflict it will provoke. Alone, Ashani stands no chance of preventing this rush to madness.

But with the help of one man, he just might.

In Washington, DC, CIA director Irene Kennedy briefs the president that the operational window to kill or capture Osama bin Laden at his recently discovered compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan is rapidly closing. But before he’ll authorize a commando raid on Pakistani soil, the president demands irrefutable proof of bin Laden’s presence.

Proof he trusts just one man to provide.

Preventing a looming war in the Middle East while delivering justice for the nearly 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11 would be a big ask for anyone but Mitch Rapp isn’t just anyone in this high-octane thriller that is perfect for “action junkies” (Kirkus Reviews).

Love Mitch Rapp, not the narrator

It's been a winning combination, Mitch Rapp and George Guidall. I don't have a problem with the new author, Don Bentley, but I do with the new narrator. It is actually tiring listening to the voices all sounding the same. I now fully appreciate the special marriage of writer and narrator. I don't want to see the series end, but it needs a return to Guidall or another actor. I probably would have given the overall and story rating a 5, but I had trouble staying focused with the reading.

The only BAD Mitch Rapp book so far

This book has been a great disappointment. I have been a Mitch Rapp fan from the beginning and have read/listened to every book in the series...until now. Capture or Kill is absolutely horrible. Slow, boring, and a waste of time. Time to find another author or end the series.

Really need Guidall to come back

Incredible story. Excited for what’s to come! I was a little hesitant that this would feel too much like a “flashback” but it fits perfectly within the timeline of past events. Really missed George Guidall. I can only shed opinion based on Mitch Rapp series for this current narrator. I haven’t listened to any other works. The ability to give these characters the distinguishable voices that Guidall has given through all of these books is second to none. This current book greatly missed that attribute.

Not one to remember

I love this series. However, the storyline is a hit and miss lately. I’ll continue to purchase every adventure of Mitch Rapp because of the earlier books. However, this book is forgettable.

Mike Nash back from the dead?

Mike Nash died at his own hand in Oath of Loyalty…this disruption in the storyline is not on par with this series. In fact in the last Mitch Rapp book Code Red it hints at it when it talks of Maggie Nash and her dislike/blame for her husband’s death even though Rapp let the story go as Mike was hero and died in service to his country.
