Another testosterone-fueled, Mary Sue main character who basically is what the author wishes he was...but, you know what? I didn't mind it.

Origin stories are usually my favorite books of the series. It's always fun to read about how the main character got his powers, for lack of a better euphemism. Mitch Rapp's motivations are noble, if a little on the psychotic side, and Vince Flynn (RIP) writes a solid book. It's a little thin when it comes to emotional impact, but the action is good, the dialogue is better, and I enjoyed it.
