The Third Annual Savannah Morning News Savannah Book Festival is proud to announce that internationally renowned and bestselling thriller writer Vince Flynn will kick off the 2010 Festival with a Keynote Speech on Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 5:30pm.  Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Dick Eckburg, hosted by Trinity United Methodist Church and free and open to the public, this exciting keynote talk will feature a presentation by Mr. Flynn, author of several New York Times bestselling novels including his latest, Pursuit of Honor.  Mr. Flynn’s novels feature counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, who proves himself to be a hero unafraid "to walk the fine line between the moral high ground and violence" (The Salt Lake Tribune) for our country's safety, for the sake of freedom, for the pursuit of honor.

Mr. Flynn will also appear during the Festival itself on Saturday, February 6th, 2010, again in the sanctuary of Trinity Church, to talk about his life in letters and his eleven novels, several of which are a part of the beloved Mitch Rapp series.  Mr. Flynn, who overcame dyslexia and went on to fame and fortune as a writer, supports many worthy charities, including Tee it Up for the Troops and the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation.
