Jacob St. Christopher #1
Protect & Defend
A former Army Ranger is called upon to stop a Mafioso’s plot to kill a witness scheduled to testify before a grand jury.
Jacob St. Christopher has proudly served his country on foreign and American soil.
Having seen action in some of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan, St. Christopher’s résumé is impressive:
Member of the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment
Congressional Medal of Honor recipient
Team leader for the FBI's famed Hostage Rescue Team
Following a three-year hiatus from the HRT, the 35-year-old civilian is once more pressed into service.
His latest assignment, however, will be unlike any combat, or hostage situation, he’s ever faced.
Challenging his skills.
Testing his resolve.
Striking at his heart.
If St. Christopher can accomplish the mission, he might just find the one thing that’s been eluding him.
Redemption.

The premise of this story reminded me of the American tv show called Person of Interest with that vigilante justice theme. However, it didn't feel as heavy as the show because the main character in this story has a sense of humor despite his heartbreaking loss. He also drives an AWESOME muscle car!

An easy book to read but so very predictable. S this is his first book I might have overlooked the simplicity of it, but since I haven’t read any of his other books I can’t be sure if they are better or not. Give it a try.
The main hero of the story is a guy like all the other heroes. Big and muscular and every woman is attracted to him. For us guys, who cares. I just want a good action story with a good plot and less of the woman wanting the guy or the guy wanting the girl.

Imagine this -- an action book without foul language or sex or innuendos. A clean book with a good storyline. I liked this book and will be reading more by this author. I am pleased to find such a quick and good read.
