Buy Vince Flynn Kill Shot book

In Vince Flynn’s latest page-turner, the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been as Mitch Rapp embarks on the journey that will turn him into America’s most deadly asset. Flynn is known for delivering shockingly realistic situations in his political thriller / assassin books. Every detail and protocol appears to be extensively researched and accurate. Something us mystery/espionage fans appreciate.

His latest book is called Kill Shot. It is hitting stands today. The book is actually a prequel to his later books and follows the story of how Mitch Rapp became the CIA’s superagent.

Exerpt from Simon and Schuster: In the year since the CIA trained and then unleashed him, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each swift and untraceable kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians in the Pan Am Lockerbie attack become increasingly aware that someone is hunting them. Rapp is given his next target, and finds the man asleep in his bed in Paris. In the split second it takes the bullet to leave Rapp’s silenced pistol, the trap is sprung and he finds himself in the fight of his life.

Monday Music Rewind: School of Fish

School of Fish was an alternative rock band which formed in 1989 and disbanded in 1994. Their self-titled debut was released in March 1991, followed by their first single, “Three Strange Days.” You can buy it here.

This song is timeless to me and brings me back to a perfect time of my youth.

I only recently learned that singer Josh Clayton-Felt died on January 19, 2000 at 32 of testicular cancer. Sad.

Guitarist Michael Ward went on to play with John Hiatt and eventually became a member of The Wallflowers.

Enjoy the trip back to 1991.
