From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin comes a pulse-pounding thriller that âis an old school spy storyâŠupdated with heavy helpings of international intrigue and domestic politicking and betrayalâ (Library Journal) and puts CIA agent Mitch Rapp in the crosshairs of an enemy even he did not anticipate.
When diplomacy fails and military intervention is inappropriate, our leaders sometimes take a third option and Mitch Rapp has been assigned just such an âunofficialâ taskâtargeting a German industrialist who is supplying a notorious terror sponsor.
But when the mission is dangerously compromised, Rapp realizes heâs been deemed an expendable asset in a power struggle on home turf: the battle over who will become the successor of the dying CIA director. But no one counted on Mitch Rappâs returnâŠor how far heâll go to find out who set him up.
An explosive thriller that is ripped from the headlines, The Third Option proves that âin the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp remains the gold standardâ (Booklist, starred review of Red War).
