American Assassin Book Report

I am reading American Assassin by Vince Flynn and I am on page 402. In this section of the book, it starts off with Rapp leaving the country where he kills the man. The people in the U.S. that have more authority have just heard about the killing and they have a conference. The conference is about whether to keep Rapp in the program or to kick him out because he disobeys his orders and kills someone. They decide to keep him because of the fact that he kills the man alone and with no evidence and he can be used as a real advantage in the future. Later on in the book, Hurley, Rapp, and Richards are sent out to a foreign country to do a mission. Richards is another agent just like Rapp. The mission is to kill a banker that is in contact with terrorists. …show more content…
It will be nearly impossible to trace and the Americans are hoping to get away with it. Hurley really hates this guy because he has a lot of money and he thinks he can get away with what ever he wants to. One night, the crew goes to the banker’s house and takes him hostage. They try to get all the info out of him before the kill him. They get the codes and he is dead. The group spreads out into many different countries and are no by themselves. The money in the account, nearly $23,000,000 is now gone. The terrorists hear of this and are furious. They get word that Hurley is staying at a hotel about ten miles away. They have wanted to get at Hurley for 25 years and this is their chance. They have a team ready to capture Hurley at his hotel and are waiting for their moment. The team sees Hurley outside the hotel and he is captured. He is taken to a secret place where the terrorists interrogate him. In this paper, I will be questioning and …show more content…
One reason they killed him is maybe it is too risky to keep him alive. If they keep him alive, he might tell the police about the crime. If the police find out, they will probably get some sort of evidence that it is the Americans and Hurley’s cover will be blown. If the banker is kept alive, there is a chance that the terrorists will kill him for giving the codes to the Americans. These codes are very valuable to the terrorists and when they are given away to the enemy, the terrorists are very lethal when a person disobeys them. Hurley does in fact like to kill. He is the trainer for all the recruits for a reason. He has a strong aspiration for his work. He enjoys taking out the enemy when they are threatening innocent people. The banker is an example of an enemy threatening innocent people. By giving money and keeping the bank account codes, he is helping the terrorists with their work. Another reason why Hurley kills the banker is because he hates the banker. He hates people who have a lot of money and do what ever they want because of their money. He has a very nice house with a very attractive wife. He also has two poodles that cost much more than any other dog. Of all the jobs in the world, he decides to work for the terrorists. It does not matter how much they will pay him, he should never work for terrorists. The banker does not do anything good with his money. He is a rich man and he does not
