Have you heard of Don Bentley? If not you are obviously not a fan of good thrillers. He used to ride around in Apache helicopters and after that worked at the FBI and did some S.W.A.T. team stuff. Then he got this idea that he was going to write books! He came up with this character named Matt Drake and it was a great success, then he was roped into the Tom Clancy universe. Now he has released his first Mitch Rapp story. Capture or Kill is the 23rd book in the Rappverse and in my opinion one of the best books in this series in a very long time, sorry Kyle. I have just like many more like me around the world followed Rapp in his fight against evil doers for many years now and sadly the inventor Vince Flynn was taken from us way to soon, but Mitch lives on, first through Kyle Mills capable hands and now Don has taken over. Boy did he hit it out of the park, what a great book. I was hooked from the first page and had a hard time putting the book aside to eat and sleep. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next one. I think it was brilliant going back in time with the story to get a younger Mitch. I must thank the good people at BTS design helping me get a copy of the book and as a proud ambassador I thank Don for coming up with this stuff.

When I read the last book in this series and discovered Kyle Mills was hanging up his hat (so to speak), I was concerned. While Don Bentley had a different style to Kyle Mills, I found I enjoyed it. More action, less relationships, more chaos, less fluff. While I wasn't sure what I would get with a new author, I am happy with the outcome, and this will stay at the top of my must-read list of series.

I love the character of Mitch Rapp and these series of books. It is interesting to me that we are now on our 2nd author of the series since Vince Flynn's untimely death. I also found it interesting that the new author chose to center the book around the hunt for Bin Laden and the raid at Abbottabad. My only complaint with the new author would be he can get bogged down on desciption to the point that it interferred with the action at times.
