Code Red by Kyle Mills, Vince Flynn

3.0

"Code Red" had all the elements of a classic Mitch Rapp thriller, but it fell short of the high expectations set by the previous books. Kyle Mills' installment lacked the finesse and depth that fans have come to expect. The storyline felt rushed, with too many abrupt turns, leaving little room for the suspense to build gradually.

One significant disappointment was the change in narrator, as Steven Weber's voice didn't quite fit the character of Mitch Rapp as well as previous narrators. This unexpected shift detracted from the overall experience for fans of the series.

The plot was intriguing, involving Mitch Rapp taking on a mission that could change the course of history, with the Syrian government, Russia, and the world's most powerful crime lord in the mix. However, the execution of the story left something to be desired.

Despite these drawbacks, "Code Red" still offered moments of action and intrigue that fans of the Mitch Rapp series may appreciate. While it may not be the strongest entry in the series, it's worth a read for those who have followed Mitch Rapp's adventures from the beginning.
