Lethal Agent by Vince Flynn written by Kyle Mills

 "Lethal Agent" by Vince Flynn written by Kyle Mills- Flawed plot !

This book is published by Simon & Schuster in 2019 and has 384 pages. It’s Book 18 of Mitch Rapp series. 

Mitch Rapp tries to kill Mulla Halabi in Yemeni caves but he survives. Mulla realizes that small time terrorist activities are not enough, he needs to do something big to bring America, Irene Kennedy and Mitch Rapp to knees. An inexplicable decease has erupted in a remote village in Yemen. Halabi sees the opportunity. He gets unexpected help from the monstrous ambition of American Presidential hopeful Senator Barnett, Chief of Senate Intelligence Committee. An attack is imminent. 

What will Mitch do? Why is he embroiled in money laundering, corruption and what not? What is the Mexican drug connection?

This is a run of the mill thriller. The usual actions. Usual weapons and exposition. Biological threat. All the ingredients are there. 

The plot has no novelty. There was a Senator who didn’t like Irene and Mitch in previous books as well. Why does this author reuse the plot of original author? 

The biggest weak link is the plot to infiltrate the drug cartel. It’s so simplistic that it tends to be naive. Such a plot will never succeed in reality, not even close. 

In the final actions Rapp doesn’t appear to be in control of the situation. If your protagonists doesn’t control the narrative, who does?

After death of Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills has written this book to capitalize on the franchise. But he isn’t Vince Flynn.
