Isabel Levinson walked out of Cathedral of St. Paul after the funeral mass for author Vince Flynn, stopped on a sidewalk nearby and looked back at the massive steps that lead down to John Ireland Boulevard as Flynn's family and friends offered condolences to each other. Levinson, of Minneapolis, didn't know any of them. But she felt like she knew Flynn.

Vince Flynn was calling his next book The Survivor. He got the idea for this title while on a trip to Cabo in February. A friend, Roberto, made him a cake (with the aid of his minions) that looked like a book. “Survivor Man” was written along the bottom on edible paper. He took a look at that dessert and said, “Wow, that would be a great title for my novel!” That vacation was the last time Vinnie felt well enough to walk around much. In fact, he even made it to a beach located a few resorts away to...

<p>Vince Flynn, author of the popular Mitch Rapp series, announced today via his emailed fan newsletter that he has Stage III metastatic prostate cancer.

My kids woke us up at 3:45am...yep, that early. Got up at 6am, done with presents and breakfast by 7:30. So I'm having fun now before my nap. I'm really reading Vince Flynn books voraciously now, and know we need a Mitch Rapp now in our country. That aside, I was talking to my wife (who hasn't read the books), and she is a big movie buff. I asked the question, ok, Mitch Rapp is olive skinned, black hair, and the first movie they'll do likely will have Rapp in his early forties/late thirties...we figured Gerard Butler could do it...

synopsis from back cover of book: Taking America back....one politician at a time. What if America's leaders were held accountable for their broken promises--and made to pay for their corruption?

Monday night, Glenn Beck interviewed mega-selling author Vince Flynn, whose thrillers star Mitch Rapp, a CIA agent who makes Jack Bauer and Dirty Harry seem like members of the Nobel Committee. His new book, Pursuit of Honor, came out Tuesday. Flynn is particularly popular with conservatives, and invariably makes an appearance or two with Beck—and even Limbaugh—when his new book is released. And to answer the question I get from readers nearly every time I review fiction, yes, I AM working on a review right now. Glenn liked the book—a LOT… BECK: Vince Flynn, author of a brand-new thriller -...

Author Vince Flynn joins me for the entire show today as we discuss his phenomenal success, his approach to writing thrillers, the long war against Islamist jihadists and a dozen other subjects.

I have read all of Flynn's works. I have liked every one of them and not been disappointed. This book was no different, though it was less a front to back barnstormer about his principle character and action hero, Mitch Rapp, than others have been. But that's okay, I believe Flynn did that on purpose to make some other points, and the book is nonetheless a great read, delivering a timely and critical message I believe is important for all Americans to understand. It was, for me, still a captivating thriller with enough action, and delivering a very important...

I have read all the books from Brad Thor and Vince Flynn and am looking for someone's work along those lines to read on an upcoming trip. Any suggestions out there? I really enjoyed both Flynn and Thor. I have read Jon Land and was reading Lee Child until his last novel revealed his leftist leanings. Thanks for your replies!

He looks like any other young Minnesota guy you'd see at the grocery store, or coaching a kid's football game from the sideline, but Vince Flynn is far from ordinary. The world famous author has sold more than 10 million books. He's what Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty said about him: "Vince Flynn is the literary equivalent of Prince; he's our Minnesota literary icon." He's a local icon who recently reached the literary pinnacle. His latest political thriller, Protect and Defend, just debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Fan's love the way Flynn takes them to...

(LNSB, July 25, 2005) A bestselling author said in an interview on the July 21, 2005 edition of the Laura Ingraham radio show that major motion picture studios have in the past rejected his popular novels for development into films because of studio executives’ leftward leanings and because they are frightened of violent reaction from Muslims. Suspense novelist Vince Flynn (Memorial Day, Executive Power, Term Limits, and the upcoming Consent to Kill), in response to a listener’s question of when one of his books would be made into a motion picture, said there has been a lot of interest in...
