00:01:27
Yep, Yep, we get into it. All right, so we're having this
00:01:32
emergency pod because our patron, Adam, Adam K.
00:01:38
Shout out Adam. Randomly boats in the chat right
00:01:42
around New Year's. Yo you, you guys got to see this
00:01:46
with the plot description for mid trap 2025 and then I go look
00:01:51
in on the Internet. I can't find this anywhere.
00:01:54
I don't know where the hell he found this dude, but we have it
00:01:59
and I'm I'm guessing it's got to be true.
00:02:01
Then he. Hasn't released the Internet
00:02:03
over than Britain. Don Bentley has liked our post
00:02:07
about it and even replied to someone else's comment in a
00:02:10
thread about it where we posted this description, so it's out
00:02:14
there whether or not you know his superior breaking.
00:02:16
News The Thriller Podcast. Breaking news and our boy Adam,
00:02:22
he's from Liverpool. The UK version of Amazon always
00:02:26
seems hot tip from the Thriller pod.
00:02:28
The UK Amazon version always seems to have book announcements
00:02:33
posted way before the US. Apparently the UK gets this
00:02:37
stuff first. So they don't have a title
00:02:39
listed, they don't have a cover, it says to be revealed.
00:02:42
But here's the thing about it. It says Mitch rap #25 yes.
00:02:47
Does that mean this book comes after Code Red in the timeline
00:02:51
sequence? I don't know, so I'll read the
00:02:56
description in in in a little bit, but I I have a feeling and
00:03:01
we can talk after I read it. But I feel like this may be able
00:03:05
one of those ones just like capture kill where it could
00:03:08
slide in and like along the timeline.
00:03:12
I don't know. You tell me.
00:03:13
I think it's possible, yeah. All right, so Mitrap signed up
00:03:17
to be an assassin, a lone wolf who hunts and kills his nation's
00:03:21
enemies on the on their turf. Now he has a new mission
00:03:24
penetrate A jihadi cell intent on stealing a stockpile of
00:03:28
chemical weapons as they transit from Iraq to Syria.
00:03:31
But Mitrap isn't the only one who wants those weapons.
00:03:34
The heist is an opportunity of a lifetime, An opportunity that
00:03:37
will fray alliances, force enemies to seek common ground,
00:03:41
and resurrect long settled vendettas.
00:03:44
As the events triggered by the heist cascade out of control.
00:03:47
Mid trap must stop the chain reaction before the Middle East
00:03:50
rich it reaches critical mass. So not a lot higher, but a lot
00:03:56
there at the same time. Yeah, that's that's a whole lot
00:03:59
of words. And so in very few words, I mean
00:04:02
fraying alliances, forcing enemies to see common ground and
00:04:05
resurrecting long settled vendettas.
00:04:08
Yeah, that makes me think we're going back.
00:04:11
We're going to find an old character, an old connection, an
00:04:14
old common enemy. I I get the sense that you're,
00:04:18
you're right. This could slot in somewhere.
00:04:20
Whether or not it's a round capture or kill, I don't know.
00:04:24
But it also opens up by saying Mitch Rap signed up to be an
00:04:27
assassin, a lone wolf who hunts and kills.
00:04:30
That's taking me back to early Mitch days.
00:04:32
See, so that one line in the very beginning signals all
00:04:37
right, we're following up tonight access, but the other
00:04:41
parts signal that it could be slotted another time or it could
00:04:47
be after code red. We could be, you know, just
00:04:51
moving along. You know, we've gotten a lot,
00:04:54
but we've gotten nothing. You know, at the same time it's,
00:04:57
it's so funny. 'Cause then I'm thinking
00:04:59
chemical, chemical weapons in Syria.
00:05:02
I don't know if you'd classify the Captagon that that drug that
00:05:05
was going through Syria and that was being produced kind of like
00:05:09
a fentanyl and like Syria, like definitely I'm getting Code Red
00:05:13
vibes from that side of it. But then a jihadi cell.
00:05:17
Like it also makes me think like global War on Terror, Like is
00:05:21
this jihadi cell Al Qaeda? Is it ISIS?
00:05:24
I don't know, like it. And they're transiting from Iraq
00:05:27
to Syria, which also makes me think, you know, when else we
00:05:31
saw a high story in the Mitrap universe?
00:05:35
When he played Uday Hussein, Yes.
00:05:37
Which that would signal more going slotting in in between
00:05:41
books. It really makes me think of that
00:05:44
exact scene, you know, like, do you rehash that scene and kind
00:05:49
of add this next level to it? So do you take something that
00:05:52
Vince already wrote and you're just simply kind of connecting
00:05:55
the dots, giving us a through story in and around that?
00:05:58
Because remember when he hijacks that convoy and that was
00:06:02
absolutely dope. And so we're going out of Iraq
00:06:05
to Syria are forcing enemies to see common ground.
00:06:09
Is that something that has to go back to Saddam and the Baathist
00:06:13
Party and and other kind of like regional allies that he maybe
00:06:17
wanted to build up long settled vendettas?
00:06:20
I mean, Mitch got a couple of vendettas.
00:06:24
So I mean, you could go anywhere in the timeline to pull that one
00:06:27
out. And oh, and dude, one of the
00:06:30
best comments. Well, two of the best comments.
00:06:33
Once we posted this on, I think it was New Year's Day.
00:06:35
We posted this when Adam gave it to us.
00:06:39
Could this be a chance for Michael O'Rourke to come back
00:06:41
into the picture because Sheamus getting blown up and Michael and
00:06:46
Liz, we don't know. I think she was pregnant if I'm
00:06:49
not mistaken. So there's a baby somewhere.
00:06:51
Like could a long set of vendetta be something about and
00:06:57
Scott right? Like how do we?
00:06:59
Bring How do we Bring How do we? Bring Scott Coleman.
00:07:02
Is there an opportunity here to go back in time?
00:07:05
Because was Scott in Capture Kill?
00:07:09
Oh, good question. I don't think so.
00:07:17
Because he was character, because we obviously brought in.
00:07:22
Because seal demolition O'Rourke.
00:07:25
Right. Because remember the baseball
00:07:27
scene? What was that in No but.
00:07:28
In Capture kill, we we brought back Mike Nash.
00:07:31
So like Scott was definitely like still like in the picture.
00:07:36
Obviously we haven't touched him in we didn't touch him, denied
00:07:41
access. Oh, that's, that's OK.
00:07:44
That's I'm like denied access. He definitely wasn't.
00:07:46
Now, now, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now the timeline, I'm all
00:07:48
screwed up. I was thinking I know access.
00:07:51
Yeah, because that he must be going off and doing sealed
00:07:53
demolition at in denied access timeline, capture, kill.
00:07:57
He should totally have been around.
00:07:58
I just, I just can't remember the book well enough.
00:08:02
What do you think if you had to put your money on all this
00:08:04
modern day post code read in this jihadi cell is some
00:08:07
modernize some version of ISIS that is still lingering or are
00:08:12
you going back in time and plugging in?
00:08:16
I think I'm leaning 75% plugging in.
00:08:19
I agree, just because I, I feel like he's not quite ready to, or
00:08:22
maybe he will never be ready to follow up what Kyle was, was
00:08:28
setting up for for Mitch, you know, or, you know, is it the,
00:08:33
the, the this idea that, oh, I need to write.
00:08:35
Let me write a couple books on my own where I can slot them in
00:08:41
either in between two of Vince's books, finishing up the kill
00:08:46
shot trilogy, you know, now adding a third.
00:08:50
And then once I've like feel like I've established myself
00:08:53
enough with the series, then I could tackle on another author,
00:08:56
right. You know, we we've talked about
00:08:57
this before this this idea of let me establish myself enough
00:09:01
just following up one author that one author that you know is
00:09:05
a big shoes to fill. And then once I have that
00:09:09
pretty, pretty solid, then I can go and tackle not one, but two
00:09:13
authors take on 100. Percent.
00:09:16
Or just decide, hey, I'm going to, I'm going to take a hold of
00:09:19
the direction, you know. Yeah, no, I agree with you.
00:09:22
The I will say the reason I'm agreeing with your 7525 against
00:09:28
post code Red and actually maybe even go a little higher is
00:09:32
nothing in this description at all screams to me, Anna, like
00:09:38
the the girl. Like I don't think you an older
00:09:41
Rap, an older rap. I don't think you go on this
00:09:43
heist mission on the ground transiting chemical weapons
00:09:48
between Iraq and Syria where rap is with his family becoming like
00:09:51
the stepfather for the girl. And so I'm like, I just don't
00:09:55
see an older rap who already has been through what he's been
00:09:58
through Code Red. That kind of was reason enough
00:10:01
for him to be in in the game involved because it was kind of
00:10:05
the old drug Lord and thing that he met in a lethal agent.
00:10:08
So yeah, there was enough reason for him to get back into it.
00:10:11
But I'm I'm ready for his next step, right?
00:10:13
I'm ready for a rap who wants to raise a girl.
00:10:18
One book ended with them. And like Botswana and she's
00:10:20
riding the sand dunes or something or Namibia.
00:10:23
Like, I kind of want to see that side of rap.
00:10:25
And nothing in this description gives me any reason of why he'd
00:10:29
be torn away from that family to go off and do this heist like
00:10:32
Ocean's 11, MIT trap 11 in Iraq and Syria.
00:10:35
Like, nothing in this screams to me that that's going to happen.
00:10:38
But the other best post that somebody said, do me a favor
00:10:44
Chris, read the last line again of that description.
00:10:47
As the events triggered by the heist cascade out of control,
00:10:50
Trap must stop a chain reaction before the Middle East reaches
00:10:55
critical mass. Critical Mass Capital C Capital
00:11:01
M Critical mass would be an absolute dope title for a mitrap
00:11:10
that would be. Calling it.
00:11:12
A nasty title. Not me.
00:11:14
Let me give credit. I got to pull up our boy.
00:11:16
I think it's John. John is always commenting.
00:11:18
He's always involved in mitrap story.
00:11:20
John Brooks at the John Crunch. The Jon Crunch got to give
00:11:26
credit to him because when he posted Critical Mass could be
00:11:30
the title. I was like, even if it's not,
00:11:33
that is just such a sick name like.
00:11:35
Yeah, that's cool. I like that.
00:11:37
All right, well, so if it turns out to be Critical Mass and we
00:11:39
got to give props to John. Props to John and us 2 bozos.
00:11:44
We know nothing, we're just riffing 2 fans.
00:11:47
We just happen to see this from one of our friends, so shout out
00:11:49
to Adam as well. Posted on the Amazon UK website.
00:11:53
So call us crazy for jumping the gun and putting these ideas out
00:11:56
the universe. We may like many a times miss
00:11:59
the mark, completely pissed off whoever else is involved.
00:12:02
But you know, we just want to. We want to whet the appetite for
00:12:06
the fans. The same way we get excited
00:12:07
about this. We want to share that passion
00:12:09
with you all. So September.
00:12:11
Oh, and the website does say September 1st as the release
00:12:15
date 2026, but that could also just be a placeholder.
00:12:19
September sounds about the right month.
00:12:21
Yeah, all. Right, just enough to wet your
00:12:23
beak for the new year. Absolutely.
