I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book through the Mitch Rapp Ambassador Program. I thought it would be tough for Kyle Mills to "Up the Ante" after last year's Lethal Agent. Total Power is the "Real Deal" and is probably his best work, in the six books, he has penned in the Mitch Rapp series. Arguably, one of the best books of the year. I wrote that with Lethal Agent, Kyle had really found his voice in the series, and had hit his stride. With Total Power, he has shifted into overdrive and he is flying! This book hits you from the get go, and I challenge any fan of Mitch Rapp, or the thriller genre, to not read it in one sitting. There is plenty of action, intrigue and lots of Mitch.
It is eerie how close to home Kyle Mills hits with the topics of his stories. With the correlation from last year's Lethal Agent, and the COVID Pandemic we are currently facing, I hope that the topic of this one never comes to fruition. In Total Power, America is under a complete shutdown of the Nationwide electrical grid, brought about by a ruthless individual, who had some help from some external forces. No spoilers, but thank goodness Mitch Rapp is on our side.
This book is frighteningly real in concept, and according to some experts, could be a real-life scenario. I have a hard time if we lose power for a day or two. I can't imagine what it would be like to have it down for a year or more. Makes me want to watch a couple of those "prepper" shows.
Total Power is a great read, with a character we have all come to know and love in Mitch Rapp. Kyle Mills has taken this to a level that Mitch Rapp fans could have never imagined. It is timely, well written and I am so glad that he will continue to do so for, at least, three more books. Don't waste any time people. Go buy this book!
