    Debt of Honor ends as Jack Ryan is confirmed vice president minutes before a mammoth act of terrorism kills the President, most of his cabinet, all but a few members of Congress, the entire Supreme Court and all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Suddenly Ryan is President, which is where Executive Orders begins.

    Story

    Several reviews suggested that Tom Clancy and his reader, Michael Prichard, had missed the mark with this edition of Jack Ryan. I am about half through with the book and find it exceptional and the narration is quite good.

    Perhaps if you have not read any of the other books in this series, or not seen any of the pictures, you might get lost in the plot. However, anyone who is a fan of Tam Clancy and these charcters should find this an outstanding read. The complaint about the detail is understandable, but this is what Clancy has built his readership.
    I was concerned with the negative reviews, but very happy I purchased this book, and find the unabridged version much to my satisfaction.

    On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

    Kelly says: "I Owe Stephen King An Apology"
    "Boring, King forgort to suspend our disbelief."

    What disappointed you about 11-22-63?

    Story line just not credible and no attempt made to get the reader to believe the events could be possible. Story just dragged on and on and characters seemed to come from King's other works.


    Has 11-22-63 turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The show down with Oswald


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Very well read


    Any additional comments?

    First audio book that I had to skip parts in order to force myself to finish the book.
    King is obviously a very successful author, but this must rate as one of his worst.
    The reviews got me to buy this book, but they do not reflect the quality.
