Enemy at the Gates

By Vince Flynn and Kyle Mills

Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top operative, searches for a high-level mole with the power to rewrite the world order in this riveting thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn, written by Kyle Mills.

America is reeling from the national blackout that swept the nation, continuing to dig out of the power outage. And the new president is unlike any Mitch has worked with in the past; he is extremely dictatorial and sees cracks in America's democratic institutions that he believes can be exploited to put his family in power permanently.

As Mitch backs away from the new president, he, in turn, questions Rapp's loyalty. Mitch decides to take a much-needed break and moves to his house in Cape Town, where he gets pulled into a job with Nicholas Ward, the world's first trillionaire. It has been discovered that there is a mole in the CIA who's been digging through their systems for information on Ward so, after thwarting an attempt to kidnap him in Uganda, Mitch makes it look like the abduction was successful. The hope is that this will give Rapp the freedom to track down the person who has been able to gain such deep access into the CIA's mainframe.

Rapp, completely cut off from the agency, must uncover the identity of the mole and deal with him. But the situation is deeper and more complex than he ever could have imagined, involving the President of the United States himself. 

Praise for the Mitch Rapp series

Enemy At The Gates, by Kyle Mills, is the 20th book in the Mitch Rapp series. Kyle writes amazing thrillers, and if that is what you enjoy reading, then this book, and in fact the entire series, is a MUST read for you. I highly recommend you read the books in sequential order, to get the full effect of what is happening. This book picks up six months after Total Power ends and it alludes to what can happen with some of our government agencies, officials and situations, when an incoming President has a different agenda from the previous administration.Enter Nicholas Ward, the world’s first trillionaire and a request he has to find one of his employees who has gone missing, an employee who has been working on a vaccine that will protect the world against any coronavirus that may come our way. Can you imagine what that would do to multinational corporations and the uber wealthy who invest in them. How will they respond to protect their financial futures? Well of course this isn’t all that is going on, there is a mole in the government who is working against the rescue and that too needs to be solved and “addressed”. Our favorite characters, Mitch, Claudia, Irene and Scott just to name a few, are brought in to help rescue Mr. Wards employee. But with this new President and his completely different outlook as to how he feels the country should be run, there are conflicts and differences as to what Mitch and friends can do. If you want to know what happens, and how this affects our future, pick up Enemy At The Gates when it comes out September 14th, 2021. It will be one of the best books you have read this year. #MitchRappIsBack #EnemyAtTheGates
