Those of you who've kept up with the Mitch Rapp Series since Vince Flynn passed away in 2013, recognize Kyle Mills in the above picture. The article attached to the link of Kyle's name reveals he is leaving the series and being replaced by thriller author Don Bentley, whose second book in his Matt Drake Series is reviewed here.
A character in a previous one of his novels has surfaced in Kyle's literary life and must supersede all else at this time. Because of this, he's passing the torch to Don with all other series personnel intact to continue the amazing and iconic life of Mitch Rapp. Kyle concludes his journey with Rapp with much appreciation from his fans for a job well done. He didn't let us down when he undertook this huge endeavor. And for that reason, we give him our sincere thanks and applaud the job he did. He will be missed for his personal touch to all that the series entailed, i.e. the newsletters, responses to fans, book signings, podcasts, etc.
We fans welcome Don to the daunting task of continuing the stories of Rapp, knowing he's stepping into the challenge with the background and writing chops necessary to further our fascination and love for Mitch Rapp and all that he does.
Goodbyes are rarely fun, but often they can be appreciated when those that leave go positively into what they need to do. We wish Kyle the best with his future novels as we greet and welcome Don Bentley to the huge sphere of waiting Mitch Rapp fans.
Code Red is the final installment by Kyle Mills. Pre-order here.
Father, bless these men in their writing endeavors. Guide them, protect them, and continue to make yourself apparent to them as only you can do. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
