Why read it?
1 author picked Protect and Defend as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is Flynn’s tenth book delving more into international intrigue. Nuclear war/weaponry considerations are more of a modern threat. Mitch Rapp excels again.

From John's list on The best action mystery stories that energize my writing.
