Publisher's summary

For years, ex–Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore has worked across the Middle East and behind the scenes for the Special Activities Division of the CIA, making connections, extracting valuable intelligence, and facing off against America’s enemies at every turn. And then...news of a potentially devastating coalition: What if two of the greatest threats to the security of the United States were to form an unholy alliance? The Taliban is trying to exploit a Mexican drug cartel to which they supply opium as a means to bring the fire of jihad to the hearts of the infidels. It is up to Moore, and his team, to infiltrate and dismantle the drug cartel, even as they hunt for those who would bring the ultimate terror and destruction to the streets of America.In a story that races from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.–Mexico border, Tom Clancy once again delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is frighteningly close to reality.

Fantastic!

Haven’t read Tom Clancy for years, and am happy I chose this book. Action, depth of characters, plot and heart kept me intrigued from start to finish.

Against All Enemies

A lot of information, It seemed at times that the narrator talked too fast. I have always loved Tom Clancy, but this one was a little too much blood and guts for me. Scary though when I think how right on in his other books he has been on events.

Fantastic

Wow ! The book was a little hard to follow at first but by the 3rd chapter your going to be hooked. Then it will consume all you free time. Enjoy

Drugs Are bad MMK?

Would you listen to Against All Enemies again? Why?

I wouldn't listen to this again. It's alot of what is pretty close to what may be happening in the drug war. It's told in typical clancy.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The end was not a surprise. It was as expected.

What about Steven Weber’s performance did you like?

He did well.

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

no.

Any additional comments?

It's not a bad book, more just standard.

An Adequate Thriller

This is a thriller that combines the AFPAK war with the Drug War and the right wing fear of immigration to produce a terrorism fantasy with as much blood as any psychopath could wish for. That being said it was a good ride, with appealing but flawed characters and real excitement at times. This is not the best Clancy novel, and I have read all of them published under his name alone, but I would spend my credits on it again. My only significant criticism is that there was occasional confusion that resulted from a very complex multi-setting plot and characters from three cultures mixed together and having similar sounding names. For an audio book with no visual redundancy to help the reader, I just got lost at times concerning the motivation of a character and his or her significance to the plot and relationship with other characters.

Too much background information

In the past I have read and enjoyed Tom Clancy's books, but oh boy, this was tough going! It was action packed and I'm not sure if it was the books content or the Narrator which turned me off this book. I found I had tuned out and that is rare for me. Sorry Tom!

Could have been a great book

Except for the bad language it was a good book. Have enjoyed all the Tom Clancy books since the 80's but the ones written by other Authors have been using more and more bad language. This one is the worst so far.

Great Adventure

I plan on reading again. Great plot. I enjoyed the characters. I hope this becomes a series.

It should make one think

This has been a good audio book. It bounces around a little at first, but then it picks up and you can't stop listening. I don't usually listen to this type of book, but am trying to add different genres to my library. I'm happy I got this one when it was on sale. It has made my work week go by faster.

This Review Needs a Title...So...

CIA operative and former Navy SEAL Max Moore is fighting a battle on two fronts. He starts off fighting the Taleban in Pakistan; then transitions to the drug wars in Mexico. We had all the acronyms you can think of, sub plots that start and go no where, and other inconsistencies. Where's Jack Ryan? The funniest part was that the terrorists and drug lords used American idioms...research that and it would have been richer, Clancy. Would I read another Tom Clancy novel? Definitely!
