    "capitivating"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    This book was worth the listen...narrated well and written well. interesting and action filled.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The Global effect of the overall story.


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Lou Diamond Phillips?

    Yes, I think LDP, did a great job on this book... He seemed limited on his voice changes but otherwise I was captivated and wanted to keep listening to the next chapter.


    Could you see Threat Vector being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    I think a movie would be great as part of the Jack Ryan series already in place... a t.v. series would be good... but not sure if that would run out of gas.

    For a movie... as Jack Ryan Jr., Matt damon, Mark Walberg, Jake Gyllenhal.or. Ben Affleck.

    As Jon Clark... Tom Cruise, Willem Dafoe or sean penn.

    the rest of the actors can be more easily placed.

    "Good addition to the J.RyanJr-and-friends saga"

    Though my favorites by far are the core Jack Ryan books, as they give both a great story and character development, this ongoing series is a good way to keep the story going as and did not disappoint. The characters are a bit two dimensional, but as thrillers go, at least we're getting to keep up with what-happens-next in the lives of the original JRetc characters. Though this story did grab my attention early on, there was a point when I thought it was just going to be a remake of the previous JRJ-and-friends books. Stuck with it, though, and soon the story took some new turns and got interesting in its own right. One warning--don't jump in here--read the series in order, otherwise it will be quite difficult to handle the moral dilemma created and explored by the overall premise. Can't say more without giving you spoilers! The narration was very well done.

    "Entertaining and fast paced"
    Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?

    Probably wouldn't listen to it again since I know the story.


    Would you recommend Threat Vector to your friends? Why or why not?

    Yes I would recommend Threat Vector to anyone who wants a fast paced escape from the real world into a modern, well researched, fiction.


    What does Lou Diamond Phillips bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    His voice inflections and dramatic influence help the flow of the story. This is the first performance I've heard from Lou, but I will be looking for him again in the future.

    "Technically entertaining as usual"
    Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?

    I guess I am a closet techy because I love Clancy's stories most because of their accuracy where tech is involved. The fact that he has built characters over many years and situations that bring you into the story is a bonus. This means that there is enough information and detail that I can get plenty of entertainment out of the story the second time around.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Threat Vector?

    I loved the conversation that Jack Ryan had with the Chinese Prime Minister that caused the Chinese leader to give him the information he could use to assassinate teh Defence Minister.


    Have you listened to any of Lou Diamond Phillips’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Mr. Philips has become the voice of of Tom Clancy novels. Very good performances.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    not quite but good none the less

    "Highly disappointed!"

    Narration was ok but story did not, as advertised, revolve around Jack Ryan. It was more a story of "The Campus". Way to much "computer geek" talk. Could tell that it was not a true Clancy story. The Jack Ryan actions that I was looking for (Debt of Honor,Executitive Orders) did not exist. This book should be listed as a Jack Ryan Jr. novel.

    "Wake me when it's over"
    Would you recommend Threat Vector to your friends? Why or why not?

    No. Authors like Vince Flynn research every aspect of their story to make it believable. In contrast, Tom Clancy clearly doesn't understand Information Technology because some of his statements remind me of NCIS episodes - meaningless techno babble.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lou Diamond Phillips?

    I don't know if it was because of the abundance of characters in the story, but the voices Lou used for some characters were terrible. I have to admit, anyone narrating this book would have a hard time.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    After listening to Vince Flynn's books, this was very disappointing. Vince Flynn kept me in the car after arriving at work. Tom Clancy made me want to fall asleep behind the wheel.


    Any additional comments?

    At times I thought I was listening to the movie "Guys and Dolls" because Tom Clancy characters don't use contractions when they speak. Very annoying.
