READ THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN
Has Jack Ryan Jr lost his nerve?
After a freezing mission in the North Sea which nearly costs lives - including his own - US Campus agent Jack Ryan Jr is taken off black ops.
Ordered onto routine surveillance, he is sent to Singapore to check out a company with US interests.
But he soon finds the task anything but routine . . .
It's clear there's a mole who must be uncovered - and quickly.
As the mole attempts to cover their tracks, Jack finds himself dodging a team of highly trained killers as a tropical storm rolls in.
What are the assassins trying to hide? And can Jack survive long enough to stop them?
Praise for Tom Clancy:
'Constantly taps the current world situation for its imminent dangers and spins them into an engrossing tale' New York Times
'Heart-stopping action . . . entertaining and eminently topical' Washington Post
'A virtuoso display of page-turning talent' Sunday Express
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Maden (Drone Threat and three other Troy Pierce technothrillers) bases this taut, exciting thriller an entry in the Jack Ryan Jr. division of the Tom Clancy universe on the seemingly mundane premise of a corporate audit. Jack Ryan Jr., partnered with forensic accountant Paul Brown, is working for Hendley Associates, a top financial analysis firm, on a study of Dalfan Technologies, a Singaporean company that former U.S. senator Weston Rhodes intends to acquire. Rhodes has a clandestine secondary mission for Paul: installing a CIA diagnostic program to sniff Dalfan's files for potential cyber-espionage. Tight security delays Paul's infiltration, and as the deadline nears and Rhodes becomes more agitated, Paul suspects his mission is far more sinister. The not-merely-accountants must outrace international assassins and a massive typhoon to thwart a global financial disaster. Clancy fans can rest assured that the state of the franchise is strong.

After reading a review that gave a severely bad write up
I was not looking forward to reading this book but as it turns out I think whoever gave that has given a few bad reviews on all of the books in this range as I really liked it again finding it hard to put down at times my only criticism would be that there are too many writers also in this range since the departure of Clancy and they don’t link up very well
Otherwise I think this book was a really great read
The worst Tom Clancy book ever
The first chapter could have been written by Tom Clancy but the rest of the book could have been written by a child.
