Publisher Description
Jack Ryan, Jr.’s race to stop an international criminal conspiracy is intertwined with the fate of an old friend in this blistering entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
The CIA's deepest secrets are being given away for a larger agenda that will undermine the entire Western intelligence community. Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley wants it stopped but doesn't know who, how or why.
Jack Ryan, Jr., is dispatched to Poland on a different mission. The clues are thin, and the sketchy trail dead ends in a harrowing fight from which he barely escapes with his life.
If that's not bad enough, Jack gets more tragic news. An old friend, who's dying from cancer, has one final request for Jack. It seems simple enough, but before it's done, Jack will find himself alone, his life hanging by a thread. If he survives, he'll be one step closer to finding the shadowy figure behind the CIA leak and its true purpose, but in the process, he'll challenge the world's most dangerous criminal syndicate with devastating consequences.
Customer Reviews
Slow to develop
Slow to get going but still good
Writing becoming too predictable.
The story becomes very predictable and the escape from imminent death every 10 minutes became boring. Additionally there are several “cliffhanger” moments that are just dead ends as the story continues. Overall not as pleased with these newer versions of Clancy’s creations.
Good book, great plot twists
Some of the people who've taken over the Jack Ryan universe since Tom Clancy's death haven't impressed me. Mike Maden is not one of them. There were several great plot twists to the book that I won't spoil here, including several scenes where I see them in a whole new light and want to go back and re-read (in this case, re-listen) to the book again. The inclusion of Scott Brick for the narrator also really helps (at least for me personally) as well; so please keep up that tradition to anyone listening!
