Hey Mitch Rapp fans! Today is Pub Day for Code Red. This is my last book in the series, and I wanted to leave it with an old-school thriller with Mitch Rapp back in the Middle East fighting terrorists. Tons of action and lots of fun. But before I ride off into the sunset, I … more
The inspiration for Code Red was my fascination with asymmetrical warfare. In the current context, traditional wars are necessarily losing propositions. Asymmetrical warfare is different. It can be waged cheaply, stealthily, and without serious repercussions. It can also be extremely effective. If you want to win a fight, you go after an opponent’s weakness not their strength. To … more
Code Red will hit shelves on September 12, 2023! Until then, I’m just going to have to get by on the terrific feedback I’m getting from Mitch Rapp ambassadors’ emails and social media posts. I still can’t believe that next month will be the last time I’ll tour under the Rapp banner. It’s been an … more
For the past five years I’ve been splitting my time between Granada, Spain, and the US. I will never fully trade in my Wyoming lifestyle, but there are also many things to love about our European base. The slower pace of life. Beautiful roads to cycle on. Great wine. A society that prioritizes time with … more

After announcing my departure from the Mitch Rapp series and putting the finishing touches on the Code Red manuscript, I’m finally back with the second installment of this year’s predictions recap. While there’s always a certain satisfaction to accurately foretelling world events, it’s also a little disconcerting. I want my books to have that ripped-from-the-headlines authenticity, but … more
It’s hard for even me to believe, but I’ve decided that Code Red is going to be my final contribution to the Mitch Rapp series. For the last decade, I’ve been overwhelmed by the support I’ve received from fans, from Vince’s family, and from his team at Emily Bestler Books. Mitch means so much to … more
Code Red, the 22nd book in the Mitch Rapp series, is charging toward the finish line. Here’s what you can expect from Mitch and the boys on September 12, 2023… Plot Mitch Rapp returns to make a mortal enemy of Russia in this high-octane and up-to-the-minute installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Mitch Rapp … more
The predictions business has been pretty good to me this year. Several of my novel concepts have hit the news cycle and, in the case of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, stayed there. While it’s gratifying to see my research produce books that are relevant in today’s world, it’s also disheartening. Reading about Mitch Rapp kicking butt … more
Once a year I like to take stock of what I’ve done over the past twelve months. Sometimes it’s hard to quantify what I’ve accomplished but that’s not true with the Rapp series. When you pile it up, the stack actually gets taller. My annual Most-Complete-Collection-Of-Rapp-Novels-In-The-World pic, has become the hourglass that measures my journey … more
