“Breathtaking.” (Los Angeles Times)

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

Narrater

The narrator is John MacDonald, but sounds like the computer from War Games. I love Tom Clancy books, but this is un-listenable.

Good Book, bad narrator

This has always been one of my favorite novels in the Jack Ryan series. I was looking forward to hearing it on audible, as i have the previous titles by Mr. Clancy, narrated by either Scott Brick or Michael Prichard. I can only say that I pray whoever holds the license gets a new version of this book by one of them. The Narrator for the current version is, in short, trash.

Good story

Good story line. Kept my interest and didn't want to turn it off. Not a fan of John MacDonald. He kind of ruined it for me.

Horrible Narration

If you could sum up Debt of Honor in three words, what would they be?

Too much detail

Who was your favorite character and why?

John Clark

What does John MacDonald bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Worst narration ever, it really ruined a great book for me. He did ok on the accents, but bulled his way through the punctuation without any inflection in his voice.

Audible is in our Debt...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The book is great... The narration just plain sucks...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Debt of Honor?

When John MacDonald finally finished reading...

How could the performance have been better?

Plenty more better narrators out there...

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Have 'read' this book before & downloaded it as part of the series to listen too whilst I drive... This one almost put me to sleep... That is no reflection on the book, just the mono tone drone of the narrator...

Any additional comments?

Would ask for a refund if I could get a copy anywhere else...

amazing narration

At first I wasn't sure about the narrator - must say that my opinion is completely changed - the closing remarks by Ryan gave me chills as it was narrated. Another fantastic fiction by Clancy, and an excellent performance by MacDonald

Great story as usual

Enjoyed the story as usual. Always enjoy Clancy's writing. However this is the first audio book in the series, that I felt the reading was not as good. The performer handle all duties well , but his voice made most characters sound like pompous asses.........just my opinion........

bad narrator

The narrator has a really monotone voice that is extremely nasally. The story itself holds my interest, but it sounds like the guy is reading the story with a clothespin over his nose. It almost makes it so I don't want to even listen.
