"Clancy does it again"
Lou Diamond phillips has a great voice and does a great job telling a story
Jack Ryan Jr.
enough differentiation in character voices to identify each character
"Outstanding"
One of his best books in years. I would highly recommend it to any Tom Clancy fans.
"Threat Vector a winner"
Tom Clancy at his finest, Threat Vector is packed with action and technical detail that allows the reader to truly experience the moment.
"Pretty good stuff"
This is an interesting take on an increasing threat. Lou Diamond Phillips performance is also satisfying.
"Best Effort in Quite Some Time"
I don't know how much Mark Greaney actually had to do with this book but I suspect quite a bit. This is by far the best Tom Clancy in many, many years. I've been disappointed with the last couple of Clancy efforts and was torn as to whether or not to read this book. But having read The Gray Man series by Greaney (which is terrific!) I gave this one a chance... and am GLAD I did! Excellent story and Excellent performance by Lou Diamond Phillips!
"Clancy returns to excellence."
After years of mediocre books this is the first that equals of his early works. The cyber war scenario feels real and is well developed. Even the Chinese threat is developed enough to be believable. The final action scenes with Jack Jr. are a little far fetched but no more so than Jack Sr.'s fights on a nuclear sub. Good fast read.
LIfe-long reader, fond of mysteries, scifi, fantasy. Prefer good story-tellers, with interesting premises. Road warrior-so listen a lot!
"One Scary Prescient Ride"
Tom Clancy's imagination has always had a tendency to find potential real problems and make an exciting story. If someone had paid attention to Executive Orders, we might have had a better system in place on 9/11 to protect the Federal buildings.
Now he has imagined the cyber threat in its full extent, reinforced by the enemy equivalent of Seal Team Six. Jack Ryan Sr, President is President and managing the crisis, but Jack Ryan, JR. is now doing the derring-do. But he has problems - his girl friend is being manipulated by the Enemy, the Enemy is aware of the super-secret organization for which he is both analyst and operative.
And the Enemy knows a hell of a lot, because it controls the WWW, has hacked into most of the essential systems of modern life - banking, power, water. II found it worrying IRL - but it makes for a great story!
Say something about yourself!
"CLANCYESQUE"
CLANCY CAN TELL A GOOD STORY.
I THINK HIS BEST STUFF WAS WHEN HE TOLD STORIES DURING THE COLD WAR LIKE" HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER".LATER ON HE TENDED DO GET A BIT PREACHY.VECTOR IS A RETURN TO HIS ROOTS AND FAVORITE CHARACTER....JACK RYAN...AND HIS SON JACK RYAN JR.
BASICALLY IT'S A GOOD STORY,GOOD PLOT AND LOU DIAMOND DOES AN
EXCELLENT JOB AS NARRATOR.
IF YOU ARE IN THE MOOD FOR THE "OLD".....TOM CLANCY......IT'S WORTH READING.
"Awesome, the best thriller"
Awesome spy thriller Tom Clancy at his best.
The plot is very contemporary dealing with China US relationship
Very recommended the
"Yet another Clancy hits the mark"
There was just the right amount of background story to good spy/action story.
The last discussion of the two presidents and how things went on from there.
They all have been really good.
Yes. The book really kept me in it's grip.
