An action-packed and all-too-realistic vision of nations navigating the minefield of international intrigue, Protect and Defend is Vince Flynn's most explosive political thriller yet. The action begins in the heart of Iran, where billions of dollars are being spent on the development of a nuclear program. No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel launches a creative and daring operation that leaves a radioactive tomb in the middle of Iran's second largest city. An outraged Iranian government publicly blames both Israel and the United States and demands retribution.

Enter Mitch Rapp, America's top counterterrorism operative. Rapp convinces President Josh Alexander to sign off on a risky operation that will push Iran to the brink of revolution. But when Iran recruits Hezbollah master terrorist Imad Mukhtar, and a CIA effort goes disastrously wrong, Rapp and Mukhtar are set on a collision course that threatens to engulf the entire region in war. With the clock ticking, Rapp is given 24 hours, no questions asked, to do whatever it takes to stop Mukhtar, and avert an unthinkable catastrophe.

This book is great. This type of character can easily be overdone like Roger Moore in the 80's Bond flicks. Flynn is now my favorite author!

Mitch Rapp for President!

Rapp is the MAN!!

The Mitch Rapp series rocks--no book in this Vince Flynn series has failed to keep my heart pumping. I don't think George Guidall narrations could fall to receive Performance ratings below 5 stars, no matter what he reads. He is the greatest!

George Guidall digress it again!!!!!

I Have yet to be disappointed with the Mitch Rapp series. I like the strength of character that Irene Kennedy displays after she is captured plus the action and restraint Mitch shows in the hunt to get her back.

Another great book by Vince Flynn

Another great story about how the war on terror could be won. Putting aside political correctness and measuring results for US interests instead of what our enemies say about us.

Imaginative story about defeating terrorism
