Don Bentley returns to No Limits: The Thriller Podcast for a full, spoiler-packed conversation about Double Tap, the latest Mitch Rapp thriller.

Warning: This episode contains major spoilers for Double Tap. Don and I go deep on the book’s biggest twists, the return of familiar characters, Mitch Rapp’s early evolution as an operative, the high-stakes deep-cover mission at the center of the story, and the choices that shape the novel’s ending.

We also discuss how Don approaches writing in Vince Flynn’s world, the pressure and responsibility of continuing the Mitch Rapp legacy, and what it means to revisit this pivotal stage of Rapp’s career with both longtime fans and new readers in mind.

In Double Tap, a young Mitch Rapp goes undercover to stop a jihadi cell after a Pakistani chemical-weapons scientist is kidnapped in Verona—an event that reignites old vendettas and threatens to push the Middle East toward crisis.

In this spoiler-free conversation, Don discusses writing a younger Mitch Rapp, continuing the American Assassin era of the series, and bringing familiar characters back into Rapp’s world.

K.B. Brodsky return to No Limits: The Thriller Podcast on their publication day for a spoiler-free discussion of Beyond Honor, an emotionally rich, high-stakes spy thriller that may be one of the best books of 2026.

Karen and Bill Brodsky, who write together as K.B. Brodsky, take us inside the creation of Beyond Honor—from the tensions and rewards of co-writing as a husband-and-wife team to building a novel that combines espionage, suspense, and genuine emotional weight.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How Karen and Bill co-write fiction as a married couple—and how two creative voices become one cohesive novel

• The process of developing Beyond Honor as a propulsive spy thriller

• Why character emotion matters just as much as plot, tradecraft, and international intrigue

• The characters’ journeys, personal stakes, relationships, and arcs—without revealing key plot developments

• What makes espionage fiction endure and why a great spy novel needs readers to care deeply about the people at its center

• Why Beyond Honor is a standout thriller read for 2026

If you enjoy intelligent spy novels, espionage thrillers, morally complex characters, and stories where the emotional consequences of danger matter as much as the action, this interview is for you.

Biological War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen is the subject of this spoiler book review from No Limits: The Thriller Podcast. Chris and Mike break down Jacobsen’s terrifying nonfiction scenario about an engineered biological weapon, a fast-moving plague, and the systems meant to stop a global catastrophe.

How does Biological War compare with Nuclear War: A Scenario? Does Annie Jacobsen successfully combine deeply researched journalism with the propulsive pacing of a thriller—or does the book’s apocalyptic vision become too bleak to feel believable?

In this week’s episode of No Limits: The Thriller Podcast, Chris and Mike go nuclear as they break down Annie Jacobsen’s terrifying nonfiction book, Nuclear War: A Scenario.

Join us as we step inside the war room to examine the harrowing 72-minute timeline from an initial missile launch to global obliteration. Does Jacobsen successfully blend deeply researched journalism with the pacing of a thriller—or does the book struggle to decide what it wants to be?

Topics we cover:

• The reality of “launch-on-warning” policies—and how split-second decisions could doom the planet

• Missile defense systems, the illusion of control, and whether anyone can truly stop an incoming attack

• The long-term consequences of an EMP attack on modern infrastructure

• Why surviving the initial blast could be worse than dying in it

• Whether Nuclear War is the ultimate cautionary tale or a bleak exercise in determinism
