After a "slow burn" in Part I of Protect & Defend, the plot picks up steam in Part II when the story explodes into action as Rapp must channel his inner Liam Neeson (or vice versa?). Vince tries something new (and NAILS it) writing a kick-ass B-plot involving submarine warfare in the Strait of Hormuz. Be sure to stick around to the very end for our heated cover discussion! Oh, and don't forget the magic number is 14.
