Protect and Defend: A Thriller

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 twenty-four hours, no questions asked, to do whatever it takes to stop Mukhtar, and avert an unthinkable catastrophe.

Protect and Defend

A Thriller
1

Puerto Golfito, Costa Rica

Mitch Rapp ran his hand along her smooth, naked thigh, up to her waist, and then down along her flat stomach. His body was pressed against hers; front to back, her head resting on his arm. This moment had not been part of the plan, but it shouldn't have surprised him. There had been signposts; furtive glances, comments made only half in jest. The tension had built for the better part of a year. Each of them silently wondering. Neither knowing for sure if it would ever go to that next level. And then they arrived at the private villa overlooking the tranquil beach. The warm, humid air, the crashing surf, the shots of tequila; all coalesced to create a situation of overwhelming sexual tension.

Rapp kissed her bare shoulder, nudged a lock of her silky, black hair with his nose and listened to her breathing. She was sound asleep. He lay still for a long moment, completely intoxicated by the smell and touch of the beautiful woman lying next to him. He hadn't felt this alive in a long time, though guilt was still hovering in the recesses of his conscience, waiting to come rushing back a ... read full excerpt from: Protect and Defend: A Thriller ebook

Reviewer: A viewer from Canada
Flynn veterans who have come to know Mitch Rapp will likely feel let down - again. Flynn has raised the bar so high with earlier works like Memorial Day and Separation of Power, just to name two, that one-day page turners like Act of Treason, and now Protect and Defend, unfortunately, disappoint. What saves P & D is a strong last 100 pages. The tension builds and today's fiction feels like it could very well be tomorrow's truth. This does not make up for the lack of plot complexity Note to Flynn: Slow down. Resist the temptation to turn Mitch Rapp into an annual annuity. Take as long as you need and write something to win back your loyal fans. Until then, I'll hold off preordering your next hardcover
