Vince Flynn- Total Power-A Mitch Rapp Novel by Kyle Mills
from Speaking of Writers · host Steve Richards
In the next thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series, it’s a race against the clock when ISIS takes out the entire US power grid and throws the country into chaos. When Mitch Rapp captures ISIS’s top technology expert, he reveals that he was on his way to meet a man who claims to have the ability to bring down America’s power grid. Rapp is determined to eliminate this shadowy figure, but the CIA’s trap fails. The Agency is still trying to determine what went wrong when ISIS operatives help this cyber terrorist do what he said he could—plunge the country into darkness. With no concept of how this unprecedented act was accomplished, the task of getting the power back on could take months. Perhaps even years. Rapp and his team embark on a desperate search for the only people who know how to repair the damage— the ones responsible. But his operating environment is like nothing he’s experienced before. Computers and communication networks are down, fuel can no longer be pumped from gas stations, water and sanitation systems are on the brink of collapse, and the supply of food is running out. On Vince Flynn: Total Power is the 19th book featuring counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp. All 14 books that Vince Flynn wrote before his death were New York Times bestsellers, 3 of them reached the top of the New York Times bestseller list Nearly 75 million Vince Flynn books have been sold worldwide At least 2 United States Presidents and 1 King are fans of Vince Flynn: he’s heard personally from both President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush (left) that they’re big fans, the latter even inviting him to the White House on several occasions. King Abdullah II of Jordan (see right) has hosted Vince in his palace and requests each new book for his enjoyment. On Kyle Mills: Kyle Mills is the New York Times bestselling author of twenty-one books, including five previous Mitch Rapp novels, The Survivor, Order to Kill, Enemy of the State, Red War and last year’s #1 New York Times bestseller Lethal Agent. Kyle’s father was an FBI agent, the Legal Attaché to the UK, and the director of Interpol. As the legend that Vince Flynn created goes: Mitch Rapp joined the CIA in reaction to the love of his life dying in Pan Am 103. Well, in real life, Kyle’s father was the FBI’s lead man in the investigation of that terrorist attack. It happened during Kyle’s college graduation dinner in London where he was stationed at the time. His assistant came to the restaurant and told him that a plane had gone down in a small Scottish town. That was the last he saw of him for months. The Mills family first met Tom Clancy when he was researching his second book and still worked as an insurance salesman. His FBI character Dan Murray is based on Mills’s father. Because of Kyle’s father’s job, he grew up in Oregon, Washington, DC.
