Capture or Kill is every bit the white knuckle, hair-raising thrill ride that you’d expect from the former Apache pilot who wrote it. Don Bentley brings his unique insights and skills to the Rapp franchise and has crafted a story that will please even the most ardent long time fans.
When the Quds Forces develop a new technology that can turn the tide of the war, not just in Afghanistan, but the entire region, unlikely alliances are born. The head of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security is the last person CIA director Irene Kennedy expected to be willing to provide her with critical intel. In order to prevent the conflicts from escalating and burning multiple countries to the ground, only one man can be trusted to put the intel to maximum use. Mitch Rapp is that man.
With any big change, there naturally comes trepidation and apprehension. When change happens to one of the most iconic thriller series ever written… the stakes are raised higher than Mitch’s total body count.
After nearly a decade of amazing work from Kyle Mills, all we can do is thank him for continuing the series we love while staying as true to Vince’s original visions as possible. I did love that Kyle managed to put his own unique perspectives and twists into each installment and I have no doubt Don will do the same.
That being said, to me…this book does have a slightly different feel than past Rapp books, which is to be expected in Bentley’s first contribution. In no way do I want that to be taken as a criticism or for it to put fans off at all from this book. If you’ve read any of Don’s other works, you can expect the same high level of writing, lightning fast pacing, and extreme action sequences as his previous books.
The fact that Don was willing to take up the mantle and then jump into the fire by writing in the middle of the series’ timeline was an absolutely bold move and it more than paid off. I caution fans not to get too caught up in any perceived or minute variations compared to either Flynn or Mills writing styles. Enjoy this one for the fantastic thriller it is.
With Don in command and willing to go back in time for his plots, there is no shortage of options for him to continue the series in ways we haven’t even thought of yet. I CANNOT WAIT!
