The Last Man - Die Exekution (Mitch Rapp 13)

The pacing was relentless, but I wonder if there were specific techniques used to keep the suspense so high. Did the author plan this out from the start or was it more organic?

His loyalty and moral dilemmas made me question what I would do in his place. How do you personally interpret his actions throughout the story?

The details felt very authentic, which made me curious about whether the author drew from real events or created a completely fictional universe.
