Found a new author

[Lionworld]

A few years ago, I discovered author Vince Flynn. Since then I have read most of his books. The main character works for the CIA in the counter-terrorism unit. Recently I read about another author, Ben Coes, whose books were similar to the Flynn books. Again, the main character works for the CIA in the counter-terrorism unit. I went to my local library and found two books by Coes. I read the first book a few weeks ago and am now reading the second book. They are riveting. If you are a fan of Flynn, I recommend that you give Coes a read.

Were you a Tom Clancy / Jack Ryan series fan? Do these compare well?

For whatever reason, never had interest in reading fiction,,,, maybe because it's all tv and film has.

Read a lot of finance and investing books, health and medical , sports books, biographies, ....the closest to fiction would be perhaps Malcolm Gladwell whom I like quite a bit.

Mitch Rapp is my favourite character. I'll keep an eye out for Ben Coes.

The late Vince Flynn was one of my wife's favourite authors. I told her about your Ben Coes recommendation. She'll check him out. Thanks.

From one retired lawyer to another, your wife will love Ben Coes’ books. The main character is exactly like Mitch Rapp.

Those are two that I always read, both good authors. That is my favourite genre. Some others that you might enjoy are Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series. Brad Thor's Scot Harvath. Lee Child - Jack Reacher. Ted Bell - Alex Hawke. Gregg Hurwitz - Orphan X. Steve Berry - Cotton Malone.

Thanks. By the way, I didn't realize that you once practiced law. Hope you're enjoying retirement as much as I am. It's a lot easier on the nerves!

I have read every book in the Scott Harvath, Cotton Malone, and Jack Reacher series (Mitch Rapp too), very entertaining. New Cotton Malone just came out last month and the newest in the others are coming later this year.

Same, reading the new Cotton book now.

Same, reading the new Cotton book now.

New book was good, he is expanding the core group a bit to keep things fresh. I always enjoy the mix of history and action.

Luke Daniels gets his own series starting on 23 June, Steve Berry co-authoring I believe.

Makes sense, he has been an increasing part of the story the past few books. Next Berry book might be more Cotton then.

I am a fan of the Jack Ryan series. The Flynn and Coes books are different. Both feature one main character, and both books have a lot more violence.

Not new. And not professional authors.

Last week read Jeremy Roenick's autobiography. He absolutely 'slams' Patrick Marleau.

Just finishing Patrick O'Sullivan's autobiography. For those who do not recognize the name O'Sullivan was a teenage hockey phenom. 1st overall pick in the OHL draft by the Mississauga (as they were then) Ice Dogs. OHL/CHL rookie of the year. 2nd round NHL pick. AHL rookie of the year. 22 goals and 53 points in his 1st full NHL season at the age of 22-23.

His career 'flamed out' due to personal and off ice issues. Primarily created by his father who was/is alleged to be the among the most 'abusive' of all hockey dads.

Seems that both Patrick and his father crossed paths with a lot of people that I knew/also crossed paths with.
