RIP Patriot. Am so sad for his family and I will miss his books.
I think he’s friends with Rush as well as Beck.Way too young.

I have never read one of his books. I will do so to honor his memory. Does anyone have a suggestion for which of his books to start with?

Wow. I thought he was beating it. Any news on whether or not they are still making a movie of American Assassin?

To: Sergio
There’s a sequence to them... although, they are written in a way where, you COULD pick any of them and still enjoy.
Memorial Day was one of my favorites.
But, TERM LIMITS was the first.. and, starts the tone.
The lead character, Mitch Rapp, isn’t in that book. But, many of the characters in it continue on in the series.
I’d recommend starting with Term Limits. It’s not as “concise”... in the writing. Vince’s pacing improved considerably in later works... But, the story is SO compelling. It’s a great read.

Did I know that? If I heard, I forgot... Dang, this is a rotten day. :-(
Best of luck in your battles. My lovely wife has beaten it twice in the past 15 years... and, she’s only 48.

You should read them all. They are addictive like crack. Start with
TERM LIMITS. It's not a Mitch Rapp novel, but several key characters are introduced in the novel who will later appear in the Rapp books. Then go to the first Mitch Rapp novel
TRANSFER OF POWER. I've read all Vince's books, but
Transfer of Power may be the most suspenseful of them all. I was reading that one while waiting in my doctor's office for the doctor to appear. I was afraid my blood pressure would be off the charts - it was that suspenseful!
I recommend reading them in order as some wrap up a plot point of the previous novel. Two of the novels are prequels - American Assassin and Kill Shot. However, I do not recommend starting with them. They actually read better IMO in the order in which they were published.

Flynn's books can be read in any order, but to make the most sense of them, read them in order of publication. And plan on a lot of reading, because once you get started on his books, you will want to read them all.
I started with one of his middle books - which I got a a book signing. Then I went back and read all of them from the beginning.

This really hit me. He has been in my nightly prayers for months and I thought he was doing well, altho since his l sat book, I’ve not heard much. His family will now be in my prayers. I have been a faithful reader and his books were tops. Thank you Vince! You and Mitch will never be forgotten.

This is the Mitch Rapp series in order:
1 Transfer of Power
2 The Third Option
3 Separation of Power
4 Executive Power
5 Memorial Day
6 Consent to Kill
7 Act of Treason
8 Protect and Defend
9 Extreme Measures
10 Pursuit of Honor
11 American Assassin
12 Kill Shot
13 The Last Man
Some stories absolutely should be read in order. For example, The Third Option ends with the story only halfway resolved. It is finished in the next installment, Separation of Power.
It may seem like a lot of books; but you'll fly through them.

First Michael Crichton, now Vince Flynn. Two out of my three favorite authors are gone. At least Elmore leonard is still kicking. Hang in there, Dutch.

So hard to accept, He was a man who overcame so much to become a great writer. He was a true friend of the Agency. I will miss you Vince.

I'm devastated. Vince was a bright light amongst a plethora of authors trying to write contemporary Special Forces/spy novels.I've got all his stuff although I think there's one more due out soon.
We'll sure miss you Vince...prayers up for you and your beautiful family.
