profile-john-papp.jpg

Please share some of your background:
I went to work as a field tech, often commuting by train to work. At first, I read newspapers, but then switched to military history. About that time I found Tom Clancy and Red Storm Rising. Sucking up the espionage, spy, and military fiction like a sponge, I moved onto several different genres.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
After leaving the service company and getting back into an office environment, I continued reading a generous mix of stories using the jacket comments to identify new authors. Because of guys like LeCarre and Clancy ghost authors, I came across Vince, probably 2012 or 2013.

Which book is your favorite?
Term Limits. It is the start of the series and where you meet your new friends.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
It was always Stan Hurley, the forever curmudgeon with a heart of gold for Irene and Mitch.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Scott Coleman, the former SEAL, whose faithful, honest and dedicated to the mission without compromising his ethos.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Always looking forward for more Mitch while reading others in the genre.
