Synopsis

A missing Chinese scientist, unexplained noises emanating from under the Arctic ice, and a possible mole in American intelligence are just some of the problems that plague President Jack Ryan in the latest entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Aboard an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean a sonar operator hears an unusual noise coming from the ocean floor. She can't isolate it and chalks the event up to an anomaly in a newly installed system.

Meanwhile, operatives with the Chinese Ministry of State Security are dealing with their own mystery--the disappearance of brilliant but eccentric scientist, Liu Wangshu. They're desperate to keep his crucial knowledge of aerospace and naval technology out of their rivals' hands.

Finding Liu is too great an opportunity for any intelligence service to pass up, but there's one more problem. A high-level Chinese mole, codenamed Surveyor, has managed to infiltrate American Intelligence. President Jack Ryan has only one choice: send John Clark and his Campus team deep into China to find an old graduate student of the professor's who may hold the key to his whereabouts. It's a dangerous gamble, but with John Clark holding the cards, Jack Ryan is all in.

By way of Tom Clancy knock offs, this one works quite well. The bad guys here are China (generally shown in a pretty bad light) and their treatment of the Uyghurs. The Chinese are trying to track down a UU activist/terrorist and US President Jack Ryan’s advisers think it might be worth finding out wh......more

Goodreads review by Brent on April 15, 2021

Not much to say. Thoroughly mediocre in every possible way. To be expected, but the posthumous Clancy books written by Greany were actually good and maybe better than some of Clancy's own later work. I've read 2 by Marc Cameron now, and they were both meh. The plot here is forgettable and the stakes......more
