This book was incredible. It took an interesting, yet scary look at what America could be if the power infrastructure was to go under. Mitch Rapp has to handle it in typical Rapp fashion.
A few things that are worth noting - this book has a technical side to it, and Mills is spot-on when discussing computers, malware, the infrastructure, and tech in general. Mills also injects his usual humor into his novels. Some people are saying that Mills’ writing is straying further and further from Vince’s, but they say it like it’s a bad thing. I love that Mills has made Rapp his own. Yes, Vince Flynn wrote and created Rapp, but for six years, Rapp has belonged to Mills. I love what Kyle has done with the character and the series. Mills also touched on political topics, but unlike some other authors, he didn’t go overboard in discussing his own political views through the eyes of his characters. I really respect Mills for this.
I’m so happy that Mills has frozen Rapp in age, and I’m excited to see that Mills signed on for three more. I’m interested to where he takes Rapp next. I would personally love to see Mills do whatever he sees best for Rapp next, as opposed to feeling the need to appeal fans of Transfer of Power Rapp. I’d love to see Rapp transform, and I think Total Power was a great start. Thank you for the amazing thriller Kyle.
