"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. In return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. When the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the president suspects that the Saudis never intended to live up to the agreement. The royal family needs to be sent a message, and Mitch Rapp is just the man to deliver it. The catch? AMerica can't be seen moving against an ally. Rapp is on his own. Forced to make a decision that will change his life forever, Rapp quits the CIA and assembles a group of independent contractors to eliminate the threat. Things go sideways fast, though, and suddenly Rapp, supported only by a team of mercenaries with dubious allegiances, finds himself at the center of the most elaborate manhunt in history. Will he survive this mission, or will he forever be branded as an enemy of the state?" --from inside cover.
