Into the Fire

There are always new covers if a series or a novel sticks around long enough. And Vince Flynn's books will continue to be around for a long, long time. Kyle Mills has taken up the huge mantle to carry on the Mitch Rapp saga, the character who, in my opinion transcends them all in the thriller/espionage genre. 

Pictured above is the "revised" or current cover of the older novel (Book 8) in the series, still my favorite of them all. Why is that? Well, for me it's because the thing that separates Mitch Rapp from every other wonderful thriller character is his succinct and unwavering, although often underlying or buried, moral fiber and distinct definition of good and evil. When he kills, it's because he sees only evil in the target, a danger that is like a cancer that will spread without elimination. In Consent to Kill you see Rapp's humanity in its rawest form, bare bones of a ravaged man – not just the primo operative using every one of his skills to locate a special killer, but a broken man who has laid aside all that hinders him from seeking to kill the monster who has devastated Rapp's life. However, one thing changes that raw rage for Mitch when he reaches his goal, and that single action makes Mitch Rapp the greatest character ever created in this genre.

The Last Man is featured here because of the clever title to depict Rapp's words and the condition of meeting up with him when you least expect it. Another great story in this series.

I recommend you read them all. From prequels to Book 20 Enemy at the Gates, Vince's continued legacy written by Kyle Mills. You won't be disappointed. 

Father, you know the love you have for humanity in spite of our horrible sins. I pray each one gifted with your talents and gifts would know the Way, the Truth, and the Life that is your Son Jesus Christ and turn to Him. Bless your writers/authors, Lord, and turn their hearts to you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
