Jack's back, but not for a while

Jack Bauer that is. It's official that Season 7 of 24 has been postponed until next January. However, there was some good news for Jack Bauer fans (like us) earlier this week. Sometime this fall there is going to be a two-hour T.V. movie set between seasons 6 and 7. The movie is supposed to help bridge the gap between the two seasons. I don't know how it's going to work but I have a feeling it will be awesome. It will especially be good as long as no members of Jack's family manage to get themselves in trouble (that was exhausted by the second season). I just want to see Jack vs. the bad guys.

You might be asking yourself "what do I do in the meantime." Let me make a suggestion, read a book or eight. If you haven't already discovered Vince Flynn and his books you are missing out. Especially if you are a fan of American Counter Terrorist Agents and their exploits. Mitch Rapp is the recurring character. He is the CIA's top counter terrorist agent and was waterboarding bad guys way before it became cool. Without giving anything away I'll just say that he has saved the U.S. and other civilized countries from countless tragedies and rid the world of some pretty evil people. In one of the books set before the Iraq War he even went undercover after the Hussein brothers. Protect and Defend came out last Fall and has been the only book I've read (other than on our vacation) by choice since school began. I feel guilty reading for pleasure when there is so much school reading that I can't get to. It was worth it to catch up with Mitch. If you haven't read any then I recommend starting at the beginning, you can thank me later.
