In 'Order to Kill,' Mitch Rapp, the renowned CIA operative, is on a high-stakes mission to prevent nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists. Chasing leads across continents, Rapp and his colleague Scott Coleman uncover a sinister plot orchestrated by forces in Moscow aiming to destabilize the Middle East. Rapp must go undercover as an American ISIS recruit, venturing deep into Russian territory to stop a plan far more dangerous than he anticipated. Written with intense pacing and heart-pounding action, this thriller is as timely and provocative as ever. The Mitch Rapp series is known for its gripping narratives and insider knowledge of CIA operations. 'Order to Kill' continues this tradition, delivering a story that is both action-packed and thought-provoking. The series has garnered praise from critics and readers alike, with comparisons to the works of Dan Brown and Lee Child. The first book in the series, 'American Assassin,' is set to be adapted into a major motion picture, further cementing the series' popularity.
