“Breathtaking.” (Los Angeles Times)

“A brilliant describer of events.” (The Washington Post)

Amazing story, horrible narration

This book is great, it's so good that you can get past the horrible narration. Please Audible get Scott Brick to redo the narration of this amazing book and some of the other Tom Clancy books. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through, plenty of action and suspense. There is several small technical errors in the book, mainly the name of the F22 Raptor, its a small complaint coming from an aricraft nerd. The were alot of great moments in the story, ome of my favorite was the John Clark and Progie reunion "Your dead" from Progie made me laugh. Over all i loved this book and had a great time with it.

Narrator is kinda wack.

Good story, wack narration. Pritchard is much better at bringing Jack Ryan novels to life. This guy kept putting me to sleep.

A compelling read with too much profanity

this is my second Tom Clancy book, they take some getting used to because he goes on in great detail about various events and stories before they all come together. however, I have learned a lot from that detail. this book was a compelling read and left me desperately needing the next book in the series.

Fan of Tom Clancy...

I’ve read this book before, and love listening to it being read. However, I’m not a fan of John McDonald. He reads and sounds like a computer. A lot of the Navy jargon used is spoken wrongly. He got the letters right, just pronounced them wrong, such as referring the Navy Public Address system as the I (eye) MC instead of the 1 (One) MC and calling the chief engineer the Chenj (with a soft g) instead of Cheng (with a hard G). Having served in the Navy, that is the correct way to pronounce it. Not terrible, just wish he had done a little research first.

Honor to your citizens

Jack Ryan retired he left government business after Bob Fowler made a near disastrous mistake. now he golfs, back in the financial market and spending time with his family when he is called into the white house. the new president Rodger Durling is asking him to come back as the National Security Adviser.

in the world a major car accident of a Japanese car results in a new trade law being passed that hurts japan. Japan retaliates and attacked the US forces, takes Saipan and Guam as well as destroy the US economy.

Jack Ryan has to figure out how to be able to deal with the multiple threats found from japan, while at the same time India is acting up and hints that china might be trying too.

What will they do to solve this big issue?

Great Story

What made the experience of listening to Debt of Honor the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the economic, political and military parts of the story line. They were woven together masterfully.

Narrator not as bad as some say.

Sure, at 1st MacDonald does seem a bit robotic, but as by the 3rd chapter he begins to gain some momentum. Sure he's no Scott Brick in SoAF (my fav narrator of all the Clancy series) but he is pretty good in his own right once he gets into pace. I particularly like his dialogue between Clark and Chavez when he'd switch to a Russian accent to indicate that they were actually speaking Russian to each other.

Mediocre Reader. 😕

The story is great. However, the reader is mediocre. His attempts at foreign accents is passable. However, he does not pause for section breaks within the chapters. And, he would do well to look-up the big words which he can not pronounce. 😕
