During that time, it was clear to me just how much both authors admire Vince Flynn and love the characters he created. He followed that up with hit after hit, cementing the Kyle Mills era as a resounding success.Īhead of today’s big announcement, I sat down for a ninety-minute Zoom call with both Kyle Mills and Don Bentley, where we discussed all things Mitch Rapp. Though it would later be revealed that Flynn had only written three pages, which Mills used as the first chapter, early reviews, courtesy of the first-ever Mitch Rapp Ambassador program, raved that The Survivor read and felt like a genuine Vince Flynn novel. Incredibly, most readers couldn’t tell where Flynn’s voice left off and Mills began. That book, which had been started by Flynn, was finished by Mills and was released in 2015. Widely adored by the diehard fanbase, Mills first won over readers with The Survivor. Not only was he able to step in seamlessly, continuing Rapp’s legacy, but the argument could even be made that, under Mills, the series was elevated, reaching new heights. Nine years later, it’s safe to say that Mills’ mission has been accomplished. They’re big shoes to fill, but I’m looking forward to the challenge of continuing an iconic thriller character.” Vince was a great guy who helped me out in my career and as a diehard Rapp fan, I know how devastated his readers are. In a statement made during the original announcement back on June 23, 2014, just a year after Flynn died following a battle with cancer, Mills said, “I’m really honored to have been asked to continue the Mitch Rapp series. Taking over will be Don Bentley, best known for his own Matt Drake series and the work he’s done in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Jr series, including Tom Clancy Flashpoint, which will hit stores in May.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills, who first took over the late Vince Flynn’s iconic series in 2015 and has since contributed eight consecutive bestsellers, is set to depart the Mitch Rapp franchise following his ninth and final book in the series, Code Red, later this year.
