Synopsis

In the suburbs of Maryland, the firm of Hendley and Associates meanders its way through financial transactions—but its true purpose is to identify and locate terrorist threats, and then deal with them in whatever manner necessary. “The Campus” is always on the lookout for new talent, and its eye happens to light on President John Patrick Ryan’s son: Jack Ryan, Jr. While his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and into the Presidency, Jack Jr. received the benefit of years of life experience in special ops, intelligence analysis, and the way the world really works. Now, the Arab terrorist world and the Colombian drug cartels are about to unite forces, and Jack Jr. must put all he has been taught to good use—or else.

About The Author

Thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.Stephen Hoye has worked as a professional actor in London and Los Angeles for more than 30 years. Trained at Boston University and The Guildhall in London, he has appeared in several feature films, television series, and on stage in London’s West End.

AudiobooksNow review by Robert Mooberry on 2022-01-07 15:17:49

I'm giving it 4 stars only because the story is good. Maybe I should have given it 3. The writing is horrible. This is perfect fodder for The Tom Clancy drinking game. Every time you hear the phrase "good guy" or "bad guys" take a drink. If you want to get drunk faster take a drink every time you hear a product placement. Sam Adams must have written Mr. Clancy a nice check or given him beer for life. Writing is bad, but the concept of a private organization set up my an administration as it exits to covertly strike and our nations enemies makes for a very good story. I like how they chose succs as their poison of choice. I'm not sure if it is quite as difficult to detect as he states in his book, but prior to this book what medical examiner would bother to look for? Unless there is a medical link or a state sponsored actor involved an ME still isn't going to look for it.

I love the Caruso brothers, but the morality discussions among them are too tiring. The ending was too abrupt.......more

Anything Clancy himself touched was gold. It does feel that there was a hiccup in this novel that acts as a fissure between Classic Clancy and Ghostwriter Clancy, but this is still a very exciting part of the series.......more

Goodreads review by William on June 01, 2019

This barely got a three from me. What I have liked about Clancy's book is his finger on "what's happenin". I've never thought that he was a good writer. This book was just a dumbed down prologue for a new series to add to his estate. Just did not seem plausible.......more

Goodreads review by Antonio on January 23, 2024

"L'importante era il denaro. Con i soldi si poteva acquistare il potere. Con i soldi si poteva comprare la gente e la protezione, e non solo difendere la propria vita e quella della propria famiglia, ma anche controllare il proprio Paese". Per la prima volta Jack Ryan, il personaggio principale della......more
