I've always been a fan of the Vince Flynn books. I even received a special edition signed copy of The Last Man which is a treasured addition to my bookshelf. I was lucky enough to be selected as a Mitch Rapp Ambassador by vinceflynn.com and was given and advanced copy of The Survivor.
I will admit I was worried that Kyle Mills would write in a different style from Vince Flynn and possibly damage this beloved series.
I expected Mills’ writing style would be wildly different from Flynn’s.
I thought I could tell where Flynn’s work ended and Mills’ began.
As it turns out, Flynn had completed three pages before his passing leaving the rest for Mills.
I was pleasantly surprised when the whole book felt like a classic Vince Flynn book.
The character development, the action sequences and the cleaver one liners delivered by the protagonist were done the way Flynn would do it.
We do say goodbye to some beloved characters in the series and I had to ask myself would Flynn have done that?
All things considered fans of this series needn't worry it is in the capable hands of Kyle Mills.
Vince Flynn may be gone but Mitch Rapp will live on.
George Guidable delivers another great performance behind the mic as the narrator of the audiobook series.
There is even an interview with Guidell at the end of the book which I found very entertaining because I love a good narrator reading an unabridged book.
