Protect and Defend

A Thriller

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

Counterterrorist agent Mitch Rapp is on a collision course with America’s most feared enemy in this white-knuckle political thriller from “the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there” (The Providence Journal) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin.

No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel brings down Iran’s billion-dollar nuclear program in an ingeniously conceived operation. The attack leaves a radioactive tomb and environmental disaster in its wake, and has Iranian president Amatullah calling for blood—American blood.

Seeing opportunity where others fear reprisals, Mitch Rapp devises a brilliant plan to humiliate Iran’s government and push the nation to the brink of revolution. But when a back-channel meeting between CIA director Irene Kennedy and her Iranian counterpart goes disastrously wrong, Rapp is locked in a showdown with a Hezbollah mastermind in league with Amatullah—and he is given twenty-four hours to do whatever it takes to stop unthinkable catastrophe. This story blends global tension, covert operations, and high-stakes suspense, perfect for readers of CIA counterterrorism novels and political thrillers set in the Middle East.©2007 Vince Flynn; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster Inc.

I thought this book was great. The world needs more Mitch Rapps.

Rapp is the MAN!!

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!

Mitch Rapp my hero

Another exciting story from my favorite author Vince Flynn. Don't know how I will live without him. I especially like how he humanizes some of the villains Once you start one of his books you really don't want to put it down. .

Protect and Defend

Awesome hard to stop listening to story. Hard hitting, current, relevant and oh so exciting. I loved it and will read more Flynn now.

George Guidall digress it again!!!!!

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!
