Lethal Agent (A Mitch Rapp Novel)

In the midst of a divisive presidential election in the United States, an unprecedented and terrifying bioterrorism plot threatens to kill millions, as depicted in the new thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series. The country is already in a weakened state due to internal divisions, and while politicians are focused solely on maintaining their power and privilege, ISIS takes action.

The terrorist organization kidnaps a brilliant French microbiologist and forces him to begin manufacturing anthrax. Slickly produced videos chronicling his progress and threatening an imminent attack are subsequently posted online, further intensifying the hysteria gripping the nation. ISIS then recruits a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the bioweapon across the border, but this is merely a diversion.

The terrorist group's true objective is to keep Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy distracted long enough to weaponize a deadly virus that they stumbled upon in Yemen. If successful, they will trigger a pandemic that could potentially rewrite the world order. Rapp, the gold standard in the world of black-ops thrillers (Booklist, starred review), embarks on a mission to infiltrate the Mexican cartels and track down the ISIS leader he had previously failed to eliminate.

However, Rapp faces a significant challenge as the political elite in Washington are increasingly aligned against him. This means he will have to operate on his own, without the support of the government, to prevent the catastrophic consequences of the bioterrorism plot. The stakes could not be higher, as millions of lives hang in the balance.

The narrative follows the intricate and high-stakes battle between Rapp and the terrorist organization, as they engage in a race against time to prevent the unimaginable from occurring. The story explores the complex dynamics of a nation divided, where political interests and personal agendas often take precedence over the safety and well-being of the people. Rapp's determination and skill are put to the ultimate test as he navigates the treacherous landscape, both on the ground and within the political sphere.

The thrilling and suspenseful plot, combined with the well-developed characters and the author's masterful storytelling, make this latest installment in the Mitch Rapp series a must-read for fans of the genre. The book serves as a stark reminder of the real-world threats that nations face and the lengths that individuals and organizations will go to achieve their objectives, even if it means risking the lives of millions.
