AMERICAN ASSASSIN by Vince Flynn

Finished Fr 1/7/11

Although this novel is the latest in the Mitch Rapp series, it refers back to how Rapp was originally recruited for the most secret US spy agency. As he begins 'Spy Boot Camp' he is regarded as an impossible fit because he has no military background. He is from a university where he has been a championship lacrosse player. However, regardless of his back-story, nobody can 'read' a situation or a person like Mitch Rapp, and by the end of the course, it is obvious that they have discovered someone who was born for this type of work. Then, the novel takes Mitch to the middle east where an American has been held hostage, and along the way, Rapp and his curmudgeon of a supervisor, manage to 'hack' millions of dollars of terrorist/Soviet funding. Wham-Bang Action of The Highest Order.
