Because in all of his books, the good guys won and the books usually ended with a lot of dead terrorists. And he had impeccable instincts for what was happening in the world. I only started reading his books last year but the terror events and government responses to them mirrored what was happening after 9-11, even though the early books were written in the late 90s. His character, Mitch Rapp, is a CIA assassin and Vince made me believe that America would be great again if we would only unleash 1000 Mitch Rapp's to clean up the problems in this world. He is my favorite author.

That’s what I loved about his books - there was no ambivalence about killing the bad guys. A dead terrorist was always a good thing, and there was no confusion about who was good and who was bad or where the bad guys originated.

RIP Vince. And thank you for producing a great legacy of novels. I’ve only finished 3 and have been holding off on the rest. Devouring each one is like enjoying a fine bottle of wine except that I am never sad when I finish the wine but always sad when I reach the end of one of Vince’s great stories. Now I am very sad because we have truly reached the end of the line.
