    Gordon Kent

    Gordon Kent is the pseudonym of a father-and-son writing team, both of whom have considerable experience in the US Navy. The idea for Night Trap was born out of a series of fishing and hiking trips together. Their interests, many of which are shared, include military matters, Africa, antiques, book collecting, war gaming and theatre. Both now live in the USA.

      Force Protection continues on from Hostile Contact, this time around Alan, Mike, Rose, Dick & Harry are drawn into a suspected Islamic terrorist attack when a dhow (traditional Arab sailing vessel) filled with explosives powers into the side of a US Navy merchant ship killing a visiting Admiral and numerous sailors as well as disabling the ship in the Kenyan port it is visiting. Simultaneously a riot starts in the nearby Kenyan town destabilising the region and causing a violent response from the Kenyan National Police. An explosion later targets a US Aid office in Cairo and a naval officer is tortured and murdered, a systematic web of terrorism appears to be targeting US interests in the region and Alan & Mike are at the forefront of the investigation.As far as excitement goes it's better than Peacemaker but not quite on par with Top Hook, the bulk of the book is pretty good leading to an excellent closing however I did feel that it lacked the enthrallment that Top Hook had. This may be due to the plot which doesn't quite hold up to the prior books level of realism and is kind of a bit left field and could almost be interchanged with practically anything and not really affect the story too much. The instigating factors of the plot are almost secondary to the actual unfolding of it.All that said, it's still an interesting and entertaining read.
