I have a confession. I haven’t been this enamored by a book series in a while (this is book 1 on the left). Now it’s not literature by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s good. Oh, Vince Flynn, why do you distract me so from the things I SHOULD be doing with my time?

It’s no secret that I’m a bit of a conspiracy theorist. I like the IDEA that something is amiss, not quite what they say it is. I love the JKF mythology and the idea that we never landed on the moon (but staged it in a TV studio) intrigues me. I won’t even pretend like I don’t secretly wish to break into the compound at Roswell…just to see. And let’s not get started on my freaky X-Files issues (oh, Mulder…don’t waste your time with Scully. I DO believe).

This obsession started innocently enough (as most do). My dear husband (dh)went to the dentist and no doubt got into the two no-no’s of polite conversation – religion and politics. Hmm, politics. So, the dentist offers to loan him a book he thinks dh would like. How was this poor man to know that dh collects books. He doesn’t necessarily read them – the list is too long.

So, said book sits on the table in the living room for a couple of days. I get a little curious and read the back summary. I swear the book called to me. Cutting to the chase, I read the thing in less than a week – which is a miracle for me. It’s not that I’m a slow read, but I have a lot of distractions :)

Four books later, I’m still going strong. Lucky for me, Flynn’s got quite a series going with Mitch, Anna, Dr. Kennedy, and team. I’ll be picking up the fifth book tonight and I’m sure I’ll tear into it.  [Warning: I've been converting friends and family alike into Flynn Fans]

If you’re a fan of political intrigue, conspiracy, secrets, scandal and a love story, Flynn’s your man. Check him out. He’s a contributing writer for Fox’s series 24 with Kiefer Sutherland. It’s like Clancy, but less wordy and more character development.

If you pick one up, let me know what you think.
