What's Your Story: Rachelle

Please share some of your background:
I've worked in a plethora of odd careers, from a professional stage actor or a broadcast technical director to a classic automobile insurance agent and an editor for a small publishing company.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I started reading Mitch Rapp in about 2017. I rented a bunch of audio books from the library for a road trip I was taking for work, and ended up only listening to Mitch Rapp the whole trip. I was really excited when the movie came out later that same year!

Which book is your favorite?
Currently, The Last Man and Transfer Of Power are probably my favorites in the series. This is subject to change.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Besides Mitch?! I love Irene Kennedy to death. She's one of my favorite characters of all time in a book.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
To be honest, I'd probably be Marcus. All tech, no fight.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Over the past few years, I've dealt with a major health issue and a battle against a major identity theft. I came back to the Mitch Rapp series repeatedly as my solace, or to get back into reading. I had never before enjoyed any books in this genre as thoroughly as I have loved these Mitch Rapp and Term Limits. I own every book in audio, digital, and physical format, so it's always an easy read away.

What's Your Story: Jared

Please share some of your background:
I am a sports journalist who has dabbled in background acting and is in the process of finishing up my debut novel.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I began reading Vince Flynn around 2008 when a friend of mine handed me a copy of Transfer Of Power. That was all it took. I couldn't stop reading about Rapp after that.

Which book is your favorite?
Transfer Of Power is my absolute favorite, but I am a sucker for the first novels. Everything about that book just works for me. Other favorites include Consent To Kill and American Assassin.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Rapp is my favorite character as the main guy, and I appreciate how his character has grown through the series. He obviously isn't the same after living through so much, and both Vince and now Kyle Mills have done a wonderful job showing that.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Marcus Dumond. I think having an afro could be fun.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I would like to thank them all for making reading fun again as an adult. I loved books as a child, but college kind of took away the joy. That changed when I picked ip Vince Flynn. I'm grateful.

What's Your Story: Adam

***THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS PROFILE***

Please share some of your background:
I am actually writing about my wife. She hated reading until I introduced her to the Mitch Rapp series.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I had to read her the first 30 pages of everyone of the books to spark her interest, she now reads them all the time.

Which book is your favorite?
Consent To Kill is her favorite, she likes the fact that Mitch is avenging the death of his wife.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Irene Kennedy is her favorite. She always says that Irene is the unassuming predator that strikes when needed.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Irene, she loves how she is always 10 steps ahead of everyone.

What's Your Story: Chris

Please share some of your background:
I am a 5th year graduate student at Cornell University, currently trying to get my PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I live in Ithaca, N.Y. with my wife and two kids. When I am not in lab or playing with my kids I enjoy reading awesome spy thrillers.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I started reading Mitch Rapp in college when I asked one of my roommates for reading recommendations and he gave me the all of Flynn books to date in a giant paper bag and said, "Here, read these!"

Which book is your favorite?
Wow, this is a hard question, but I would have to say Consent To Kill. I think that book really transformed the series and the character that is Rapp to solidify in my mind, that this series was so amazing and so well written.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
I would have to go with either Irene Kennedy or Mike Nash. I like Irene because of her skill as a thinker and I aspire to be able to think and game plan like her. Then I like Nash because he is a family man that has to decide to either stay in or get out and be with family. While I can't fully relate since he works for the CIA, I can relate to that struggle of how to balance work and family and I admire how he does it.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
I would have to go with Scott Coleman. He is just a beast and a great friend to have if your Mitch!

What's Your Story: Nahgee

Please share some of your background:
I am 26 years old. I am a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army, I’m an MP. I have trained in martial arts since I was 10. I’m a security consultant and supervisor. I’m a huge gun buff. 2 degrees and a few certifications. My greatest accomplishment has been becoming a father.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I started reading the series when I was 9 years old, in 2004. I’ve read every book and at one point in time trained to become a CIA operative/ contractor like Mitch Rapp.

Which book is your favorite?
All I’ve them I’ve read them all and listen to the audio books.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Mitch Rapp and Irene Kennedy they have been around since the books inception they make the perfect team/family.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Mitch Rapp because he is an intelligent calculated professional that manages to adapt to any and every situation given to him.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I was very happy when Kyle took over as lead writer. His character In the book Fade really forecasted his future as the new Mitch Rapp novelist.

What's Your Story: Cathy

Please share some of your background:
I worked for the NSA for 17 yrs (after being hired right out of high school). I worked in several fields and then lastly as a Computer Scientist at Ft. Meade, MD and also abroad for eight years between England and Germany. However, my first love was writing; I was an avid reader growing up (hooked on Nancy Drew Mysteries). I started writing my own stories when I was just 14 yrs old. I set my writing aspirations aside until after I left the NSA and a consulting business. I am currently working on my own spy thriller series. Along with other works.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I'm an oldie but a goodie, as they say. I started reading Vince Flynn's books when he first hit the spy thriller scene. Having been on the "inside," his books were very appealing/exciting for me. I was already a Daniel Silva, Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum fan, so Vince Flynn books fit right in with me and my thirst for all things "spy."

Which book is your favorite?
This is such a tough question. I, of course, love the ones he wrote the most and am now following up with the ones written by Kyle Mills. I'd have to say Kill Shot because that really struck a cord with me as I had just left my overseas position the year before and the Lockerbie tragedy hit close to home.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Well, outside of Mitch Rapp, Dr. Irene Kennedy. I love strong female characters, and I believe it's important have a strong female character to have that interplay with a male operative (even if it were vice versa).

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Irene Kennedy, of course! I would love to the be Director of the CIA and have the knowledge that the position holds. Also to be able to work with the heads of the other agencies, as well as POTUS, would be exciting.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I would like to share an experience I had on a flight between Baltimore, MD and Palm Beach, FL many years ago. I got to talking with a guy that was sitting next to me on this particular flight. I don't remember the exact year, or his name now, but it was well before Vince Flynn's passing. He asked me what I did and I told him I was a writer and working on a spy thriller. I filled him in on my previous background with the NSA as well. He then told me that he was good friends with Vince Flynn. At first I was skeptical but as we conversed more, I was sure he was not making it up. The biggest thing I took away from our conversation however (and I've never forgotten) was that he asked me why I hadn't finished my novel yet. I really didn't have an answer, and so he asked "What are you afraid of failure or success?" I've never forgotten that and I always remember that when I'm writing even to this day. By the way, I told him I was not afraid of failure, for I know I can always accomplish what I put my mind to.

What's Your Story: Pops

Please share some of your background:
While I was waiting for Total Power to become available, I re-read the whole series. What a surge of anticipation for the next in the series. It was amazing how they all tied together, a bad guy that would not be dealt with in the previous book, but be dealt with In next book, usually at the barrel or encouraged to commit suicide. I would challenge everyone to try this. It will consume you.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
Term limits, even if didn’t have Mitch in it, can’t remember but when Mitch came on scene in Transfer of Power I was hooked!! My goal is to have the first five in hardback, expensive but I’m still holding out. I want to pass down the series to my siblings. At 73, I still can’t wait for future books. Stay on board with your pursuit to keep Mitch on the cutting edge.

Which book is your favorite?
Pursuit of Honor.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Coleman and Hurley.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Mitch to take the fight to them, take it to the enemy, up close and personal; any soldier wants that.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Excellent Kyle! I could not have hoped for anyone more accomplished and dedicated to follow in Vince’s footsteps. He would have been so thankful.

What's Your Story: Christopher

Please share some of your background:
I’m the Executive Director of Catholic Youth Organization of Detroit. A non-profit serving SE Michigan. 

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
Started with Term Limits at first publication and have religiously gotten each book at publication.

Which book is your favorite?
Probably Transfer Of Power but only because it was the first. Each has been incredibly enjoyable.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Other than Mitch, no. Scott is cool too.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Director Stansfield. A guy with such great insight and quiet power.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Please keep writing. When the pandemic hit, I started at the beginning and am reading my way through the whole series. Helping to keep me sane.

What's Your Story: Curt

Please share some of your background:
I started out as a self taught draftsman who has drawn everything from firing zones for naval ships, houses, commercial buildings to precast concrete, and steel. I earned a MA in History and I now teach world history to 10th graders and I adjunct teaching US history at the local university. 

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
A retired Colonel who worked at the Pentagon and the White House in the late 90’s and early 2000’s told me that the detail in Vince Flynn’s books were so real to life and thought I would like them.  He loaned me Memorial Day, I started out reading Ludlum and Clancy, but I became hooked on Rapp! 

Which book is your favorite?
Transfer of Power. I studied Presidential history and I had just taken a personal tour of the west wing so my mind became alive with the action like I was there in the unfolding story. What a thrill of a read.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Of course, Mitch, but I enjoy reading about the whole Orion Team and their families. I am devastated when any of them dies.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
There is not much room for a short fat and bald good guy, in political thriller novels, but I would like to be a character like Milt Adams (ToP) supporting Mitch with some quirks to keep the story a little more unpredictable.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Thank you for taking me along on such exciting and heart-thumping adventures.

What's Your Story: Nathan

***THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS PROFILE***

Please share some of your background:
Never read a book in my life that I enjoyed. I actually grew up hating books. From the first second I picked up a Mitch Rapp book I absolutely loved it and from that moment on I have read every single word that has been written from Vince Flynn and Kyle Mills. It has definitely changed my outlook on reading and life in general. It eases my stress and gets me through hard times. I really appreciate Vince as an artist and his skill. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. Kyle Mills is doing a great job of carrying on the legacy.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
In prison.

Which book is your favorite?
Consent To Kill. I don’t know why maybe because it was the first book I ever read of his. I was in prison and it was the only one available at the time. But I totally understand wanting revenge for the murder of your wife and unborn baby I can relate. So Consent To Kill what is my favorite for sure

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Well besides Mitch Rapp, it would have to be Scott or Dominica.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
I would love to be Mitch. I love everything that he stands for. I love his loyalty his respect and his no bullsh*t attitude. he doesn’t put up with any bullsh*t regardless of laws and he does what’s right

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Keep going. Your books are amazing. I am also a movie buff and would absolutely love to see another movie based on your books.

What's Your Story: Joann

Please share some of your background:
I have been an avid reader since my early teenage years. I’ve always loved the power that books hold. The stories can take us to distant places, recreating historical events, fantasizing about what the future may be like or exploring a make believe world. It’s a true talent that writers have to take us into their story and allow us to feel like we’re a part of it. After graduating high school I joined the workforce as an entry level clerk for a trash hauling company. I worked there for over 10 years and decided that I wanted a change. I attended a technical college at night for 2 years and earned my Associates Degree as a Paralegal. A couple years later I injured my neck in a freak accident. After 3 surgeries and many procedures I have a permanent disability.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
In 2008, I found Protect And Defend and once I read it, I went back to the beginning and read all the other books in order.

Which book is your favorite?
All of them!!

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Mitch. He is so complicated and yet so simple. He is my husband in an alternate reality.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Irene Kennedy. She is so smart and gets to know all the secrets! She’s been trained by Thomas and is like a sister to Mitch. Best of all worlds.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
The world that Vince created has allowed me to tune out and forget about the chronic pain I experience on a daily basis. He’s gotten me through some painful procedures and has kept me company when I otherwise would have been alone. There are no words or actions that can thank Vince and Kyle for what they have done and continue to do.

What's Your Story: Jeff

Please share some of your background:
I have been in the restaurant business for more than half of my life.  I have been reading what feels like my whole life.  I have over 500 books currently in my home...with more than 3000 in storage, waiting until I find a bigger home!

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I met a gentleman in 2004 in an airport and I asked him what he was reading.  It was Vince Flynn’s Executive Power.  He raves about Vince’s writing so I wanted to see for myself.  I have to start at the beginning of any series and read in order.  Found Term Limits...and the rest is history!

Which book is your favorite?
Memorial Day...I read it every year on the holiday that shares its name.  The pace, storyline, and the writing have made this book one of my all-time favorites.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Of course you want to say Rapp...but I love the character of Stan Hurley!  Simply put...he is old school!  Conceived by Flynn and his ending couldn’t have been better thanks to Mills. 

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Marcus Dumond...who wouldn’t want to be able to do what he does!

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Only to thank Vince for creating such a great character...and to Kyle for bringing him back stronger than ever!  #MitchRappLives

What's Your Story: Mike

Please share some of your background:
I am a social studies teacher in Washington, DC and a geek of all things history and geography. It's no surprise since my father is a Navy veteran and my mother was an English teacher.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I started reading Mitch Rapp as a teenager, and can remember picking up Memorial Day in Barnes & Noble. I devoured it and immediately got caught up reading through the rest of the series. I remember commuting to work with my dad, sitting across from him on the train, and we'd each be buried in a Vince Flynn book. I've come back to some of the books two or three times since as an adult.

Which book is your favorite?
Wow, that's a tough one. To be honest, I haven't decided. I'm really hoping that by re-reading through them all on "No Limits: A Mitch Rapp Podcast" I'll have a better sense and come to a final decision. Though Consent To Kill really stands out for it's emotional depth and the transformation Rapp undergoes afterwards.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Something about Mike Nash has always resonated with me. The conflict of dedication to the mission balanced with commitment to family. In a way, this is a storyline that can't exactly apply to Rapp in the same way.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Similar to above: Mike Nash. One of the most vivid scenes in my mind is of him storming the National Counter Terrorist Center in Pursuit Of Honor. It's compelling how he is so good at what he does, but has to struggle through recognizing his limits and accepting Rapp's advice to move on.

What's Your Story: Damon

Please share some of your background:
I live in Nashville with my beautiful wife and 4 awesome children.  Learning to enjoy the Quarantine Life while reading and spending quality time with family, and too much Twitter!

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
My father introduced me to Mitch Rapp with Memorial Day, and I was hooked.  Had to go back and read them all in order.

Which book is your favorite?
I have 2 favorites.  

1st is Consent To Kill, which is arguably Vince's best work and possibly my favorite in the thriller genre.

2nd is Enemy Of The State, because that is the book where I finally felt like Kyle Mills knocked it out of the park and made Mitch Rapp his own.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Besides Mitch, I loved Stan Hurley in the earlier books, especially in American Assassin while training young Mitch.  My other favorite is Louie Gould.  Who doesn't love a good villain.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
If I could be any character, I would choose Scott Coleman.  Who wouldn't want to kill alongside Mitch Rapp.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Vince came to Nashville during his book your of Consent to Kill.  I was out of town on business, but my wife went for me to get an autographed copy.  It is my favorite book, and so happy to have a signed copy, although I wish I was able to meet him myself.

What's Your Story: Judy

Please share some of your background:
I am a retired 75-year old Texas Teacher.  I am a conservative, U.S. Flag and Constitution loving American.  That's why I love all the Vince Flynn books!

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I was listening to Rush Limbaugh one day and he started talking about his friend, Vince Flynn.  He spent a great deal of time reminiscing about Vince and how great his books were.  I wrote on a piece of paper, Vince Flynn, author, Rush Limbaugh and put it on my desk.  About six months later I did a search on Amazon for Vince Flynn books, and now I have read every book.

Which book is your favorite?
That's a hard question, but probably American Assassin because it made me want to read more about what Mitch Rapp would do next!

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Definitely Mitch Rapp.  He reminds me of my late husband.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
I'm not sure I want to be any of the characters, but maybe Irene Kennedy's secretary. LOL

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I think Kyle Mills has done a great job writing for Vince.

What's Your Story: David

*** THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS PROFILE ***

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I started reading about Mitch Rapp from the first book.  I have to use audible books.  It as been a really exciting roller coaster ride with Mitch and now adding Claudia and Anna to the stories have brought my wife and several of her friends into the Mitch arena.  

Which book is your favorite?
Consent to Kill is my favorite by far.  When Mitch’S wife is killed, he sought revenge and we saw a new  part of Mitch when he meets Claudia and Anna at the end.  It really pulled on your heart strings.  The last three or four novels I enjoyed in the high tension of dire consequences if Mitch, Scot, and Claudia deals with World war with Russia to Chemical weapons from his arch ISIS enemy.  Really, cool when Claudia becomes an important part of Mitch’s team.  So many personalities that you allowed us to know as the stories unfolded through the years.  Kyle’s done an amazing job of combining the old with the new often reflecting his approach.  Good Work!!!!!

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Mitch
Claudia
Irene
Scot
Anna
These are the characters that provide a strong interesting base.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
I would be Scot because He has the ring side seat for the Mitch, Irene, Claudia, and Anna Greatest Show on Earth.  Plus, he is really tough - needs a cool girlfriend that could interact with Claudia, Irene, and Anna.  A whole lot of side stories that works off the main story of any book. Gives a broader base of readers; yet, maintain the exciting action main story.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I would like to see a future book deal with a major crisis with China and North Korea as the main action and integrating the kidnapping of Anna in which Irene, Mitch, Gerishna (bad spelling - Ex Russian Super Spy).  So, much possibilities with Claudia and Mitch relational is tested and becomes stronger and more emotional for each other.

What's Your Story: Steve

Please share some of your background:
I grew up in New York, went to school in Indiana and now live in Portland, OR. I'm 42 years old, been married for 16+ years and have two boys ages 13 and 9 that I nicknamed "The Clown Show" due to their antics. I'm an avid reader (finished 102 books last year) and huge sports fan. I work for a large multinational technology company as an operations director within Sales & Marketing.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
My dad had a copy of Term Limits that I borrowed while I was home from college for a visit with my family. I loved it and was hooked! This was sometime around 1998/99 and Vince was just getting started so I began getting each book as they were published. Vince quickly became a must read for me.

Which book is your favorite?
It's hard to pick just one. Term Limits is probably my favorite because it aged so well. I read it again last year and it feels like the story line is still quite relevant. However, I'm going to go with Enemy Of The State because of where I was at in my life at the time. In May 2017 I spent the whole month in the hospital with a rare and critical medical condition that nearly killed me. Fortunately I was able to fight through it and recover, but then I spent an additional 4 months on medical leave from work as I went through PT and tried to get back to normal. During this time, I read a lot of books, including Enemy Of The State, which was part of my mental rehab. Reading thrillers not only killed time between exercises, but helped me exercise my brain. Having my old friend Mitch Rapp back for another adventure during this time was meaningful to me during a difficult time.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Stan Hurley has always been one of my favorite characters. He's tough, stubborn, loyal, wise and a great patriot. Plus how can you not like the man who molded Mitch into what he ultimately became?

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Mitch Rapp of course! Who wouldn't want to be the ultimate bad ass? But if i had to pick someone other than Rapp, I'd go with Thomas Stansfield. Think it'd be awesome to be the ultimate spymaster.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I'm so thrilled that Mitch Rapp is in great hands with Kyle. He's crushing it in a big way! Keep up the great work Kyle!

What's Your Story: Joy

Please share some of your background:
My husband,  who passed away in 2012 from an incurable cancer after 12 years, could never understand my obsession with Mitch Rapp and the series.   I was always a voracious reader and looking for new authors, but espionage, CIA, hit men, etc had never been on my radar.  I was hooked after the 1st one and recommended Vince and now Kyle to anyone who will listen.  Losing my husband,  my dad, Vince and Michael Palmer all within a few years of each other, was like losing another part of me.  Kyle continued for Vince, and Daniel Palmer continued for his dad, so I, for one, greatly appreciated the continuity.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
From the very beginning.

Which book is your favorite?
Impossible to pick one. I only read the reviews after I'm finished and sometimes I wonder if we've read the same book!

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Mitch makes the series but without the interactions, Mitch wouldn't be.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Lately I'd have to say Claudia Gould.  She's able to bring out a side of Mitch we haven't seen since Anna, the difference being Claudia knows what he does and accepts him while working with him, in a broad sense.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I love how there's no rush to bring a publication before it's ready or just to keep the fans happy.  Believe me,  we're not going anywhere!

What's Your Story: Dave

Please share some of your background:
Prior to recent retirement, I was one of those curious people that wanted to try various occupations from engineering, telecom network construction, road construction to sporting goods and retail sales.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
Several years ago, a friend handed me a paperback copy of Memorial Day while we were on vacation in Florida. I was so engrossed by Vince's descriptive writing  characters and story line, I Googled his Mitch Rapp novels, began reading them in order. I also started collecting the entire collection in hardcover, purchasing the newest book each October to take to Florida in January every year. I have enjoyed how Kyle Mills has continued writing these novels in the true style and spirit of Vince.

Which book is your favorite?
Probably Memorial Day because it took my Mitch Rapp virginity!

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Mitch, of course, but I love Scott Coleman's story line in each book and his SEAL background. And who doesn't love Stan Hurley.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Scott Coleman, because I like his background and role in each story.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
As a prostate cancer survivor, I wish I could have shaken hands with Vince if he had survived too. Get yourself checked out fellas!

What's Your Story: Gregg

Please share some of your background:
I am a reading teacher and basketball coach. Two of my former students are Rapp fans. I have a blended family of 5 kids. My wife and I enjoy our canine kids daily.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
2003.

Which book is your favorite?
American Assassin slightly more than Transfer Of Power. Love beginnings. Love the development of Hurley/Rapp relationship. Also, Flynn a master at character development.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Irene Kennedy. She is behind the scenes, at least with regard to the action. Also, she is a successful and masterful woman in the ultimate men’s club.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Kennedy for the above reasons. Otherwise, Congressman O'Rourke in an expanded role or Scott Coleman. They always try to do the right thing.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I could read the series over and over (actually have a few times). I own all on my Kindle and reread when I am waiting for various authors to finish their next.
