    The storyline was great, it kept me on the edge of my seat!


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    The romance storyline. I hated her for abusing Jacks trust.

    Listening to this book is like being hooked on Meth. You will beg, borrow and steal time to listen to this book once you get hooked within the first 5 minutes.

    "Clancy still Good but not Great as earlier books."
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    If you are a Clancy fan then you would enjoy this book. In my reading, the use of the son as the main character, just doesn't come up to the thriller level that Clancy had under the Father. There is, however, enough of the old Clancy in the writing to make it a good way to spend some time.


    Any additional comments?

    The narration by Lou Diamond Phillips was excellent. A wee bit hokey on the accents at times but performance wise I do give it a 5 star rating.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Threat Vector to be better than the print version?

    Fantastic high tech story line that is built off of many current world issues. I could see it happening ....


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Very solid plot that was hard to pause.


    What about Lou Diamond Phillips’s performance did you like?

    This is the second audible book that I listened to from him and he has become my favorite reader.

    "Very solid"
    If you could sum up Threat Vector in three words, what would they be?

    Very solid effort. Clancy is back to teaching us about topics as well as keeping us in suspense. I heartily endorse this book.


    What did you like best about this story?

    This Clancy book really stands upright by itself. It always helps to have read previous books but in this case you really didn't need to . I would consider listening to this then going back 3 or 4 and catching up.


    What about Lou Diamond Phillips’s performance did you like?

    Lou Diamond Phillips does an outstanding job narrating as he has in the past with strange last names and different accents.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Stare down, Chinese style


    Any additional comments?

    You need to be somewhat excited about computers and the internet or weapons to really have a good listen.

    I've been an audible subscriber for years but this was the very first time I simply couldn't stop listening. Clancy has done a marvelous job at building suspension, and the narrator tops that off with a great performance. I found myself pushing off other things just so that I could listen to "one more chapter"!

    "Good Listen"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes because it was interesting, return of some ol' favorite characters and some interesting new ones.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Sometimes.


    Which character – as performed by Lou Diamond Phillips – was your favorite?

    Adam "Yow"


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I was moved to anger and disbelief with Melanie's stupidity and wimpiness.


    Any additional comments?

    I loved the pace with which Lou Diamond Phillips read. I hope they continue to work with him.

    Story
    "Phenomenal – Then Anti-Climatic"

    Once I got used to Clancy’s writing style I became deeply engrossed in this story’s universe. The characters are cardboard thin, but stand as reminders of a Cold War American point-of-view in action. The good guys are tough, no-nonsense, risk-taking, and politically righteous. In fact, listening to these characters troubleshoot international threats made me realize how different America is today.

    Despite that, the middle of this novel is just PACKED with shocking and compelling strategies used by the Chinese to truly threaten our comfortable modern society. There is serious (and scary) creativity here….the kind that makes you wonder just how vulnerable the U.S. may be against cyber warfare. From corporate espionage in Silicon Valley, to dogfights above the South China Sea, to action in the neon backstreets of Hong Kong, the book truly goes all in. I felt the sensation of being convinced that the bad guys had finally figured out how to beat America. They had us. The escalation of events teased me with a peak at an epic digital war that threatened to engage all branches of the U.S. Military in a desperate fight for survival. The largest fighting force in the history of world, the American Military, seemed on the verge of actually becoming obsolete….

    Then, the nightmare just ends. Right when the gloves are about the come off, the book folds up into a neat ‘Mission Accomplished.’ This should have been Book 1 to what would have been a breathtaking series.

    "Another great Ryan story delivered with style"

    I've been following the stories of Jack Ryan and company since the 80's, always looking forward to the next instalment from Tom Clancy. This one continues the saga in a way that I think incorporates all the original values of the Ryan stories really well.

    There are equal parts fast-paced plot and technology exposure. This time, although there is lots of detail of weapons used, etc., there is also a lot of computer technology in the picture. I've always found the technology aspect to make Clancy's stories more interesting.

    Once again, the audio book is read by Lou Diamond Phillips with great pacing, consistent voicings, and an overall excellent presentation.

    A great read!
