Joseph "Rick" Rickman, former boy wonder at the CIA, stole a massive amount of top secret and hugely compromising intel concerning classified operations all over the world, offering it (and himself) to the Pakistani secret forces. Only his plans went awry when CIA director Irene Kennedy sent Mitch Rapp to hunt him down. It turns out that killing Rickman didn't solve anything--in fact, the nightmare is only intensifying. Rickman stored the potentially devastating data (CIA assets, operatives, agents) somewhere only he knew, and somehow, from beyond the grave, he still poses a mortal threat to America. Now it's a deadly race as both the Pakistanis and the Americans search for Rickman's accomplices and the information they are slowly leaking to the world. Will Rapp outrun and outthink his enemies, or will the Pakistanis find it first and hold America hostage to their dream of becoming the world's new nuclear superpower?

It's unclear who the “Survivor” actually is, I'm assuming it's Mitch Rapp, but then again how could it not be? I mean I get that he's supposed to be the best assassin(?), killer(?), spy(?), in the world but dear god is it beaten into you on every single page! Mitch always anticipates what's coming, and then it's written out on the page, just in case you don't get it. Something like, “the bad guy was to the left, Mitch anticipated that”, or “they were moving slower than planned, good thing Mitch factored that in when he made the original plan”. So then they were moving exactly as planned? Yes that sounds ridiculous, but that's literally what happens. There are also a lot of typos in this book. I've never read a Mitch Rapp book before, and maybe starting #14 wasn't the best idea. Action/thriller books are a guilty pleasure for me but even this one was but this was tough to get through.
