For light reading, I enjoy authors like Daniel Silva and Tom Clancy (although TC hasn't done anything in a while). I've seen Flynn's books but haven't picked one up yet. Any opinions on him? Thanks.
Any Vince Flynn fans?

I read both Silva and Flynn. To me Flynn is much better. All of his books contain the central figure of Mitch Rapp except Term Limits. Rapp is a CIA black ops operative with free reign. Here is the order in which to read them
Transfer of Power (1999)
The Third Option (2000)
Separation of Power (2001)
Executive Power (2002)
Memorial Day (2004)
Consent to Kill (2005)
Act of Treason (2006)
Protect and Defend (2007)

Vince Flynn's books are excellent and I highly recommend any of them. Also,
David Baldacci is another excellent author.

I'll have to pick up one of Flynn's books based on the reviews listed above.
Speaking of Clancy, have you heard whether or not he has anything in the works? It's been too long.
I agree Baldacci is very good too. I'm half way through the Collectors right now a great sequel to The Camel Club.
Another author along the same genre that I enjoy is Brad Thor

On Amazon at one time there was an entry of an "untitle, upcoming" Clancy book. Then I heard Clancy was ill, and that Amazon entry was deleted. That was at least six months ago. I haven't heard anything new since.:conf3:
I've read all of these except the latest one, which I just got as a birthday present. I highly recommend this series. The main character (Rapp) is developed really well over the course of the books and Flynn really gives Rapp's character a depth not often found in this genre. The stories are well-written and easy to follow. It's not unusual to sit down and read 100 pages at a time.
Happy reading!
Just finished reading "American Assassin" ... couldn't put it down. IT's the story of how Mitch Rapp becomes who he becomes. It goes from his recruitment to his first few 'jobs'... I loved it and could have read another 500 pages.
Ok, this is my first post on this board and I can't believe I'm just now tuning in. YES I love Vince Flynn. I read his first book right after 911 (where I was BTW) and was hooked! I just finished his latest one talking about the early days of Mitch Rapp and loved it. Can't wait to get more involved in this thread this off season. And also can't wait to get new book leads!
I have read all of Vince Flynn's books including the latest American Assassin. These are must read! A movie is going to be made about Mitch Rapp, but it is still in the screenplay approval and casting stage. This movie will be huge if it ever gets made.
Looks like CIA Director Leon Panetta could have used Mitch Rapp to give him the scoop on what's happening in Egypt 
OK, I agree this would be a great movie. Who would play Mitch Rapp??? I am not a movie buff so don't have any thoughts there but wow, I can picture the dude in my mind.
I am just starting Term Limits and am enjoying it. Sad how close to the facts he comes to corruption in politics.
I already have several of the others and am looking forward to reading them as well. Thanks for the sequence list. This author looks promising as great beach read.

Yes. Started with Term Limits and read them in order published. Very easy reads (not as technical as Clancy), and very satisfying.
I hope if they make a movie, Hollywood doesn't inject too much of their politics into it.
