Vince Flynn is one of my favorite fiction writers -- Protect and Defend is his ninth book and is as good as the previous eight.  Mitch Rapp again saves the world -- or in this case the Director of the CIA and uncovers an Iranian plot to blame America for the sinking of an historic naval vessel.  Action packed and a quick read -- Vince Flynn is the new Tom Clancy and Mitch Rapp could take Jack Ryan any day of the week!
