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?

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.

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 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.
