Note: Vince Flynn also wrote the standalone novel Term Limits listed below however it takes place within the Rapp universe and should be read first if you are planning on reading it.

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.

    Love the series…..right from the first book, Term Limits. My other favorite is Scott Harvath (Brad Thor). The Camel Club series from author David Baldacci is a GREAT series as well.

    Great series, although it does tale off a bit with Flynn’s passing, sad but you can tell the difference between the 2 writers. I find Kyles 3 books a bit sterile compared to the creator Vince’s books. Following a formula and at least to me it shows. Still highly readable and not bad. Over all a highly recommended series if you like this genre.

      Mitch Rapp is one of the greatest characters ever created. The best is yet to come. I have been a fan and follower of the series since Transfer Of Power. You can definitely feel the difference in writing style. But that doesn’t take the fact that Mitch Rapp will continue to surprise.
