Arab terrorists, international assassins, and corrupt politicians, welcome to the world of Vince Flynn, a New York Times Best-Selling Author.  His political thriller novels delve deep into the world of Black Ops professionals and the non-stop political wrangling against the war on terrorism.  As a government insider, Flynn’s sources allow him create a world that seem almost too real.

I’ve spent the past month finishing off his first 5 novels.  Wow!  What a roller coaster ride.  His latest novel, “Protect and Defend, is scheduled for release on October 30, 2007.  I’ll be first in line to pick up a copy.

The main character in Flynn’s novels is Mitch Rapp, a highly skilled CIA assassin, who will stop at nothing to eliminate any terrorist or group willing to cause harm.  Rapp is seen as a no-nonsense guy who doesn’t take orders too well, especially from politicians with shady agendas.  He’s seen as an individual who is not afraid to speak his mind, no matter the consequences.

In Flynn’s fictitious Washington, politicians are seen as corrupt, self-serving individuals who stop at nothing to maintain or increase their powerbase.  Democrats are looked upon as ”Nut Hugging” Liberals with a “peace at any price” attitude, which is apparently, not far from the real thing.

In light of the real war on Terrorism, the violent measures embraced by Rapp is used without conscience.  Moreover, Flynn’s writing allow various scenarios seem possible and all too real.  Laws must be broken, enemies must be tortured and people must be killed in order to prevent a wide-scale catastrophe from taking place.  This “win at no cost” attitude is  prevalent in Rapp’s actions in order to defeat terrorism, and, ultimately, save innocent lives in the process.

If you love reading political thrillers, I would definitely recommend Vince Flynn and his Mitch Rapp series.  His attention to detail, knowledge of high technology, and military hardware will keep you reading throughout the night.  You will not be disappointed (unless you’re a bleeding heart Liberal who believes in everlasting world peace).
