Vince Flynn - The new Tom Clancy?

I've read four of his novels so far, and they've all been thrill-a-minute page-turners. He doesn't write as much technical prose as Clancy, but his books are non-stop action the whole way. Transfer of Power was one of the best recent books I've read, and Term Limits was highly enjoyable.

For those of you unfamiliar with his work, take a look here:

Amazon.com: vince flynn

In my opinion, he's still not as good as the master, but definitely worth reading if you're into that genre.

Sam.

Thanks, Sam.

He appears to be prolific as well.

No problem, ST. I actually stumbled on Term Limits in my local library. It was a fascinating read, and I haven't stopped reading him since.

Not quite as prolific as Clancy, but yeah, prolific nonetheless.

When Clancy keeps pumping out crap like The Bear and the Dragon, it's up to people like Flynn to set the standards. The master is slowly being usurped by his proteges, and unless he comes back with something huge, he will surely lose the crown of best current thriller writer.
