About this listen
INCLUDES THE FIRST CHAPTER FROM VINCE FLYNN AND KYLE MILLS’ LATEST THRILLER, ENEMY OF THE STATE!
Before he was considered a CIA superagent, before he was thought of as a terrorist's worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by the politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world...and then tragedy struck.
Two decades of cutthroat, partisan politics has left the CIA and the country in an increasingly vulnerable position. Cold War veteran and CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield knows he must prepare his people for the next war. The rise of Islamic terrorism is coming, and it needs to be met abroad before it reaches America's shores. Stansfield directs his protégé, Irene Kennedy, and his old Cold War colleague, Stan Hurley, to form a new group of clandestine operatives who will work outside the normal chain of command men who do not exist.
What type of man is willing to kill for his country without putting on a uniform? Kennedy finds him in the wake of the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. Two-hundred and seventy souls perished that cold December night, and thousands of family and friends were left searching for comfort. Mitch Rapp was one of them, but he was not interested in comfort. He wanted retribution.
Six months of intense training has prepared him to bring the war to the enemy's doorstep, and he does so with brutal efficiency. Rapp starts in Istanbul, where he assassinates the Turkish arms dealer who sold the explosives used in the Pan Am attack. Rapp then moves onto Hamburg with his team and across Europe, leaving a trail of bodies. All roads lead to Beirut, though, and what Rapp doesn't know is that the enemy is aware of his existence and has prepared a trap. The hunter is about to become the hunted, and Rapp will need every ounce of skill and cunning if he is to survive the war-ravaged city and its various terrorist factions.

Good story
Great read. Loved how it differs from the movie. However was not happy that it doesn’t tell you it’s the abridged version before purchasing

Content cut from the audiobook
I’ve read the novel American Assassin by Vince Flynn and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am disappointed in this audiobook as key pieces in the story were removed from the recording such as Mitch’s time before the CIA, events surrounding his first kill, and the interrogation of Dorfman (banker). The movie completely changed the storyline of the novel which was also very disappointed.
Obnoxious American voice acting for Hurley and Mitch was portrayed as sounding too innocent and unsure of himself. Read the novel is my suggestion.

Audio book cut so much out
I was excited but so much of the book is missing from the hard copy or toned down so that the gritty elements are now almost comical. The original unedited story is far better then this PG 13 reading.

This version is inferior to the unabridged version
I have listened to this book many times in the past on a different platform. I decided to revisit this and bought it on audible. This version is 5 hours shorter and with a different narrator than the unabridged version. It's a great start to an outstanding series but buy the unabridged version narrated by George Guidall.
