After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history—the evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried and in return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst.
But when the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the furious President gives Rapp his next mission: he must find out more about the high-level Saudis involved in the scheme and kill them. The catch? Rapp will get no support from the United States.
Forced to make a decision that will change his life forever, Rapp quits the CIA and assembles a group of independent contractors to help him complete the mission. They've barely begun unraveling the connections between the Saudi government and ISIS when the brilliant new head of the intelligence directorate discovers their efforts. With Rapp getting too close, he threatens to go public with the details of the post-9/11 agreement between the two countries. Facing an international incident that could end his political career, the President orders America's intelligence agencies to join the Saudis' effort to hunt the former CIA man down.
Rapp, supported only by a team of mercenaries with dubious allegiances, finds himself at the center of the most elaborate manhunt in history. With white-knuckled twists and turns leading to "an explosive climax" (Publishers Weekly), Enemy of the State is an unputdownable thrill ride that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Mills’s exciting third contribution to the late Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series (after 2016’s Order to Kill) reinvigorates the well-worn Middle East conspiracy thriller plot. Saudi prince Talal bin Musaid, nephew of the ailing King Faisal, is using Saudi money to finance ISIS attacks against the United States. Meanwhile, Aali Nassar, the head of the Saudi General Intelligence Directorate, is undermining the country’s monarchy and actively aiding chief terrorist Mullah Sayid Halabi. The American president, determined that the Saudi perfidy must be stopped, asks CIA officer Mitch to eliminate all high Saudi officials who are acting against the U.S. Mitch forms a small but deadly team, including Claudia Gould, his love interest; Grisha Azarov, the Russian agent who almost killed him in an earlier confrontation; and Kent Black, a U.S. Army sniper turned illegal arms dealer. Series fans and newcomers alike will watch in wonder as Mitch executes a clever plan that leads to an explosive climax. Agent: Sloan Harris, ICM. -
Scott Brick picks up this series as flawlessly as Mills picks up the writing of it from the late, great Vince Flynn. Brick never allows the action to slow and commands a host of voices from all over the world--as usually becomes necessary when ace CIA operative Mitch Rapp is involved. In this episode, Rapp has "retired" from the CIA and gone underground on a special assignment for the president. In an effort to target terrorist sponsors in Saudi Arabia, he works with a handpicked squad of mercenaries. From the sultry Italian-Jewish ex-Mossad agent, Donatella, to the old Russian KGB officer, Grisha Azarov, Brick's accents and vocal tones are impeccable. M.C. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
