Vince Flynn's early death from cancer cut short his writing career, but his legacy appears to be in good hands. If you've read Kyle Mills' Mark Beamon books, his style and the late Vince Flynn's blended so seamlessly The Survivor came off a cohesively, beautifully done book. The characters remained true and the plotting was tight and classic Flynn.

The Survivor picks up with a continuation of the plotline in The Last Man with the late Joe Rickman - brilliant and traitorous - reaching out from the grave to inflict public damage to the CIA and its insider agents informants in other governments, people Rickman should never have known about. His plan is to slowly leak information and kill the agency he came to hate by causing endless humiliating problems with the deaths of human intelligence sources they can neither predict nor stop. It's up to Rapp to stop what's happening.

It's a really good plot and well executed. You'll only see Mills' hand slide in now and then if you know his Beamon books really well and recognize his sly wit. He was an all-around excellent choice to take over. I hope he does more in this series.
