I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news—that one of my favorite authors, Vince Flynn, had succumbed to prostate cancer at the age of 47. He and I are exactly the same age. Vince was a supreme story teller. He wrote the kind of political suspense that I could only hope to emulate with my Taskforce Series.

While writing The Protector, I read and studied three of his outstanding novels: Pursuit of Honor, Extreme Measures, and Act of Treason. Mitch Rapp, Vince’s hero, will hold a special place in the hearts of all his readers. If you’d like to leave a word of comfort for his family, go to Vince’s website at http://www.vinceflynn.com/video-archives.html. There’s a place at the bottom of the page for comments.

May God comfort Vince Flynn’s family in these dark and lonely times! He lives forever, not only in heaven, but through the stories he left behind. Rest in peace, my would-be friend and mentor.
