Hopefully, this will help you find something interesting.
*Vince Flynn created the character Mitch Rapp, one of the greatest political thriller series to date. Upon his death, the series was continued by Kyle Mills, and taken in directions not really in line with Flynn's character. Mills is a good and entertaining writer, and his other books are quite good, but his Mitch Rapp books just don't measure up to Flynn.
