Order of Vince Flynn Books
Vince Flynn was an American author, most famous for his series of books featuring Mitch Rapp, the counter-terrorism specialist working for the CIA. Vince Flynn’s first book was the self-published Term Limits, which he wrote while working as a bartender.
Term Limits is the only Vince Flynn written book to not feature Mitch Rapp, although it did contain many characters that would feature in his later novels.

Chronological Order of Mitch Rapp Books
All the Mitch Rapp books take place in the order that they were published EXCEPT for American Assassin and Kill Shot. Written in 2010, American Assassin takes place with Mitch Rapp joining the CIA, and details his first missions. Kill Shot was written in 2012 and takes place after American Assassin, but before any of the other Rapp books.
It’s recommended that you read the books in publication order because you get the full effect of American Assassin having already known Mitch Rapp, and it’s a lot better book due to that.
Notes: While Mitch Rapp does not appear in it, the Vince Flynn book Term Limits, published in 1997, features various characters that will appear in future Mitch Rapp books. If you like the Mitch Rapp books, you will like Term Limits for sure.
As of The Survivor, the Mitch Rapp series is written by Kyle Mills based on the work of Flynn.

Brad Thor is a communist piece of pig dookey. His name should not even be on a website that claims to be American. I wish there was a way I could start a petition to boycott anything that Brad Thor has ever written.
One thing about your comment. It shows your thought pattern. But like everyone else , no matter, you are entitled to your opinion. What my thought pattern are, are of no interest to anyone. Brad
Thor is in the business of writing books, which is then released to open market, after which, people are at the option to chose to purchase for their own enjoyment.
Thank you for your carefully thought comments.
I do wish I had known him. I was introduced to his books this year and cant put them down… Sometimes I think he was a time traveler and just wrote about the things that are even happening like TODAY… His family was very blessed to have had him for the very short time he was on this earth. God Bless! Billy
A great writer and an amazing researcher. His novels crackled with tension and were filled with tremendous insight and knowledge. Sadly missed. Rest in peace good man.
My grandson read every book you wrote and loved the writing. He will surely miss you. His Nana
My condolences to the family. Mr. Flynn’s books provided me with many hours of enjoyable reading. He will be sorely missed not only by his family but his many readers.
I am saddened by Vince’s passing. First, because he was too young to leave us and more selfishly because with Vince, Mitch Rapp leaves us as well. My prayers and best wishes to his family. Vince will be remembered and missed, not just by his family but by all of his fans!
It’s sad to think we won’t have Mitch Rapp to enjoy anymore…regards to the Flynn family.
My deepest sympathies are with the friends and family of Vince Flynn. He was the most prescient, prolific and profound writer I’ve ever had the opportunity to read. I saw interviews with him and he was engaging and intelligent. His goodness (as attested to by his friends) showed in his demeanor and through his eyes. I’ve loved every single book he wrote and of course, fell in love with Mitch Rapp, book after book. Vince was just that kind of writer…after one book I was hooked. He was so young and so promising, that I’m positive that he was needed on the other side. Please, pray for his family with me. He will be sorely missed.
RIP Vince. I will miss you tremendously.
Has Vince written a book that deals with an administration like the one we have now?
It wouldn’t be believable.
He would have retired rather than work for Obama.
VINCE IS THE BEST. I JUST WISH THERE WERE MORE BOOKS. LOVE RAPP!!
You’ll only have to wait four more months for The Last Man: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/141659521X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=orderofbooks-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=141659521X
