Enemy of the State by Kyle Mills

After finishing The Last Unicorn on May 15, I started Enemy of the State by Kyle Mills on May 24 and finished it on June 3.  This is the 3rd book by Kyle Mills in the Mitch Rapp series, originally written by Vince Flynn.  The series is now written by Kyle Mills since Flynn's passing.  I've read the other 2 books by Mills and have enjoyed them both:  The Survivor, and Order to Kill.

I love a good spy novel, and I have loved every Mitch Rapp novel so far.  Enemy of the State did not disappoint.  This book finds Mitch going rogue and operating outside the CIA to find and destroy an enemy of the state (hence the title).  Mills brings in some characters, both friend and foe, Rapp works with on this rogue operation.

While outlandish, the escapades and capers that unfold in this novel really do have a foundation in reality.  I love the action and the drama that unfold in this book.  I find myself really able to visualize the details as Mills (and Flynn before him) paint elaborate and vivid pictures with their words.  I usually read before bed to clear my mind and wind down.  But Mitch Rapp books sort of do the opposite - I get riled up and anxious to see what happens next.

If you like spy thrillers, you'll like this book.  I'd recommend reading the books either in publication order or chronological order - either will work.  It is definitely best to read the books in either of those two orders as there is so much character development and relevant information in previous books that you may be lost a little if you read them out of order.  Two thumbs up for me!
