You're right, David, "Protect and Defend" sounds familiar. I didn't get on with it at all, in fact, I abandonned it less than halfway through and went to the last page to see how it ended, not something I normally do, but I found the whole thing just too turgid.

I enjoyed it but not many of our group thought much of it.

I did watch a film based on one of his books and didn't care for it. I do remember when we read a book for this list about the American Senitor, that was really great. Can someone remind me which author that was? I keep thinking it was Vince Flynn, but I'm sure that's not right. I think it might have been Alan's choice.
