Brent's Book Review Vol. 1

I am probably the biggest Vince Flynn fan in the world.  The problem with being such a diehard fan is...there are not enough Flynn books to satisfy my craving...so I have to find some new authors to fill in the gaps between Flynn's Mitch Rapp saga.


For those of you who don't know, Vince Flynn is the current master of the political thriller.  His books tend to have a CIA, government espionage feel to them.  If you haven't read his books...you are missing out.

My old favorites of the genre include Brad Thor, James Huston, Tom Clancy, and David Baldacci.

But....I have made a new discovery...

The American by Andrew Britton

This was an action packed adventure from the first page.  Its the 1st book in a series featuring CIA agent Ryan Kealey.  This was one of the best debut novels I have read in awhile.  The suspense was palatable and I just couldn't put the book down.  I highly recommend it if you like an international thriller with pulse pounding action.  I am very excited about the rest of the series.

Currently Reading:
The Whole Truth by David Baldacci
...I will let you know how it is...so far, its great.
