    "Back to the old Tom Clancy!"

    "Threat Vector" is Tom Clancy back at his best. I have not been especially happy with some of Clancy's more recent books but this one it first class. Lou Diamond Phillips does an excellant characterization. Cyberterriorism is something that is real and people that can do at least most of the things that Clancy's villain does really exist and are doing damage all over the world. The sooner we become aware of such things the better off we will be.

    Story
    "Frighteningly close to real events and a must read"
    What made the experience of listening to Threat Vector the most enjoyable?

    The characters who have wound their way throughout the Jack Ryan novels feel like family at this point. The members of this remarkably talented group struggle with everyday wishes and problems. You care about what happens to them.


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

    I listened to this just days before the Chinese government hacked into several US companies. Their People's Liberation Army is believed to be behind cyber attacks which have, in 2013, been accused of hacking into Facebook, Apple, the New York Times, companies involved in the critical infrastructure of the United States such as the electrical power grid, gas lines and waterworks and and US government agencies, among others. While this is a work of fiction, Clancy has once again tapped into the events that are shaping life as we know it right now. The intricate chain of events and weaving together of the lives of each character keep you on the edge of your seat. The level of reality to what is really coming out of China today will scare the heck out of you.


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

    No.


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

    Tense and scary

    Clancy up to his old style. China claims the southern China sea for it's own and the US is under massive cyber attack. Lots of the technical details for which Clancy is so well known with his usual cast of character. If you like Clancy, you will not be disappointed.

    I have listened to over 250 books in the last 10 years. I tend to listen to certain authors and try to read all their books. I listen while exercising and driving which makes the time past enjoyable.

    "Good Clancy, but not his best"
    If you could sum up Threat Vector in three words, what would they be?

    Typical Clancy espionage


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

    Yes, but it was not as fast moving, with a lot detail that disrupted my concentration.


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

    He is alway excellent


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

    Future Cyber warfare could be today


    Any additional comments?

    The cyber attack are a real possibility. Having the President's son doing under cover in China is too unrealistic.
