Book
American assassin : a thriller / Vince Flynn.
Two decades after the Cold War, Islamic terrorism is on the rise, and CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield forms a new group of clandestine operatives - men who do not exist - to meet this burgeoning threat abroad before it reaches America's shores. Stansfield's protégée, Irene Kennedy, finds the ideal candidates in the wake of the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. Among the thousands grieving the victims is Mitch Rapp, a gifted college athlete, who wants only one thing: retribution. Six months of intense training prepare him to devastate the enemy with brutal efficiency, leaving a trail of bodies from Istanbul and across Europe, to Beirut. But there, the American assassin will need every ounce of skill and cunning to survive the war-ravaged city and its deadly terrorist factions.

Here, Flynn goes back in time to the recruitment of his top CIA operative, Mitch Rapp. Deeply angered by the loss of 35 friends aboard Pan Am flight 103, the Syracuse University student eagerly joins up, but his successful assassination of his first target-implicated in the airline tragedy-is just the beginning of his education. A big thriller; with a seven-city tour. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
