I recently read chapters 16-18. In one of the chapters we see into Mitch Rapp's past. There is a lot of character development. The beginning of the chapter was really cheesy, but ended up quite nicely. It started with Mitch Rapp standing up to a bully when he was eight, where he beat the kid up. This part was really cheesy, because Rapp comes sprinting in from the outfield, (this beating happened during the middle of a pick up game) and screeming crazily. He then dives on the bully and takes him down. The end of this chapter is great though, because it shows why Rapp is willing to murder so many terrorists, and why he has so much rage. During college, Rapp's girlfied was on a plane that was hyjacked by terrorist, and was crased, killing over 200 people. After this incident Rapp vowed to kill as many as he could. The last chapter was very interesting because Abel and his contact have a meeting. We recieve insight into why this man is so good. One of the reason's is because he can speak any lauguage. There is also no proof he exists. He doesn't own any credit cards, doesn't have a bank, and doesn't have any name. He tells Abel, "What would you like to call me... pick a name" (147). All of this shows that al this man cares about is getting money. It also shows he's very intellegent, so he has a desent chance at taking down Rapp.
