Through the diversion of maintaining power and privilege, ISIS take advantage of the situation and kidnap a brilliant French microbiologist; coercing him to begin manufacturing anthrax. She nodded. “There’s opportunity here for us. The question is do we want to exploit it. So far, we’ve been fairly conservative in our actions. But we’re only three and a half years from the next election. At some point, we’re going to have to move forward.”

This is just the beginning of an intricately plotted thriller that pits Mitch against a terrorist with a God complex and an army of drug fueled followers in the Ugandan jungle, a CIA mole at the highest level and a new President and First Lady with dreams of an autocratic dynasty. Within the first chapter I was hooked and ended up reading 85% of the novel in one sitting. The only reason I didn't finish it in one bite - I had to work the next day and get up early! (Thanks Kyle for keeping me up late! lol) Fairly close friends, in fact. Their relationship had been cemented by a recent bioterrorism event that she’d had no choice but to bring him in on. The long days, long nights, and logistical nightmares they’d faced had given her a healthy respect and personal affection for the man. He was one of the most impressive people she had ever met and seemed to honestly have the good of mankind at heart. The fact that some of his views were a bit naïve was more than overcome by his enthusiasm and almost supernatural competence. She entered an Oval Office that was all but unrecognizable.

Christine Barnett had been his party’s leader before her sudden and very unexpected death. While he owed his presidency to the fact that she was now rotting away in her mausoleum, the path she’d taken there was well beyond suspicious. Democracy can be chaotic at times, and autocracy demands all, not a sharing of power. Kyle Mills is postulating a deliberate analogy to today’s world. Did you take note? Mitch Rapp’s high school sweetheart Maureen Eliot, who was attending Syracuse University with Rapp, was killed in the December 21, 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. One year later he was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency by Irene Kennedy.

Why don’t you give us the rundown on what you know,” the president said, reasserting his dominance by pointing everyone to a seat and then taking one himself. There is a new president of the United States (Anthony Cook) that Irene Kennedy does not trust. He and his wife are cunning and want to do whatever is in their power to get rid of Irene Kennedy, the Director of the CIA, and Mitch Rapp. The couple rope in a mole and halfway through the book the action gets really good because Mitch must go into the field to protect Nicholas Ward.Make no mistake folks. The Mitch Rapp Legacy is in great hands with Kyle Mills and we get to reap the rewards of his efforts. There is a wolf in the White House and mole in the CIA and only Mitch Rapp can stop them both in Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills' newest work, ENEMY AT THE GATES!

Here are the short biographies of 3 friends of Rapp who play a significant role in Enemy at the Gates:

It is so welcome to read a book--to escape--that doesn't mention Covid, vaccines, or masks. As an author, I appreciate the challenge of writing a true-to-life thriller that doesn't include what is now a past (and thus, dated) pandemic. There is nonetheless a true-to-life air of dystopia (obeying billionaire cabals over love of country) that the characters grapple with. Obviously, he has the potential to be a powerful tool.

Irene Kennedy who has been trying to figure out the new POTUS is alerted to the incursion, and based on the singular nature of the search is determined to root out the mole.
