Publisher Description
Jack Ryan Jr battles terrorists in the disputed mountains of Kashmir to save a comrade in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
A string of savage murders in the United States seems unrelated until the FBI makes a shocking discovery: a decade ago, all of the murder victims were involved in a raid to eliminate the Umayyad Revolutionary Council, a vicious terror group that—were it not for John Clark and the Campus—would have perpetrated the most devastating attack against critical American infrastructure in history. Now it appears they’re back, with a next-generation leader hell-bent on revenge.
Mary Pat Foley, Director of National Intelligence, greenlights an op for the Campus to cut the head off the snake. Clark taps ex-Delta commando Bartosz “Midas” Jankowski to lead a kill team deep into the mountains to snuff out the charismatic terror leader. But when the hunters become the hunted, it’s up to Jack Rayan Jr. to avert disaster amid a deadly power game of nations vying for control of the disputed region.
On a rapid covert ingress from neighboring India, he’ll traverse the Himalayan wilderness with a rifle on his back and a tough Mujahadin fighter by his side. Jack knows time is growing short—he must save his team and lead them into position to be the first to hit terminal velocity.
Customer Reviews
Good read
Clean, intelligent prose and good storytelling. Woodward clearly knows his subject matter, which was key in making Tom Clancy’s books so compelling. One challenge with picking up a franchise is how you develop the characters you’ve inherited. This book cast Jack Ryan as more tenuous than decisive, vacillating between the white side and black side of operations versus his previous inclinations to be more clearly dedicated to John Clark’s team. It also put Lisanne in a less operational position than her previous character development had earned. While surprising, and in some places a bit disappointing, it was still a good read. (In fairness, it’s always easy to say “yeah, but…” from the sidelines when the author is bringing together a plot of this scope. His writing still piqued my interest enough to purchase some of Woodward‘s books under his own banner.)
Good International Plot
Worthwhile…. but ending was not great!
