Kill Shot: An American Assassin Thriller (utgåvan 2012)

Disappointing. I really enjoyed Transfer of Power (rated it five stars), so I decided to read the one before in the series. However, this one did not have the suspense and action of Transfer of Power. There was too much tedious scheming. Also, I am willing to go along with a lot of suspension of disbelief in thrillers, but here I found the treachery to be too much. Some good action scenes, but not nearly exciting enough overall. ( )

Segunda de la serie de Rapp, venía muy bien pero me parece que el autor puso mucha levadura y luego tuvo que terminar la novela demasiado rápido para todas las tramas que jugaban. A Rapp le ponen un anzuelo y muerde en Paris, y allí comienza la cacería para ver quien lo traicionó. ( )

I entered this book after I read it. It started with a prologue, and I skipped it. Last time I read a prologue from this series, it was a spoiler! Hate that. This book reminded me of the bad Tom Clancy Jack Ryan Jr books. Jack Ryan Jr has magic where every decision he makes works out. I don't like it in those books. I am impressed with Vince Flynn because he pulls it off. Good stuff.

Ok novel, in the sense it presents Rapp to us, but even here, in the begining of the saga, he is absolutely infallible, as he cntinues to be in all the future books.

It would be really hard to not like Mitch Rapp. In this one, his sanctioned mission of retribution gets sidetracked when he's set up, but he's just too darn competent to die when he's supposed to. His new self-assigned mission? Find out who sold him out and...yeah, more retribution. This one's a lot of fun for fans of this sort of thing, and I enjoyed every minute of it. There's nothing new in it in terms of its plot, but it covers familiar ground in solid fashion and establishes some backstory for Rapp himself, given that it's a prequel type of thing. The ending was a bit abrupt, but my only real complaint here is that most of the bad guys are one-dimensional and stereotypical, but that just makes it easier to root against the slimy bastages, I guess.
