"Protect & Defend" is another new thriller from Vice Flynn who is described as Tom Clancy on speed.

Another interesting book of his Term Limits was reviewed by me long back.

This one looks like as if you are reading the headlines today.

The story goes like this; Israel has quietly destroyed the secret Nuclear Reasearch facility of Iran so as to prevent them from develping Nukes . Thuis has triggered an international crisis. The crazy Iranian rulers have unleashed a war of vengeance on US & Israel and the Hezebollah has been enroled to unleash a rein of terror.

Irajn has created a war like situation and has put US in tight corner. President puts on job the counter terror specialist agent Mitch Rapp on the job who has to rescue the abducted CIA Director and also finish off the renegade Hizbolla terrorists.

Very racy and interesting reading that keeps one pinned to the book. I had to finish it in one continuous reading, I was stuck at Bombay airport one rain soaked evening and the fight was 3 hours delayed, this book helped me make the wait worth the while.
