Publisher's summary

For President Jack Ryan, his son Jack Ryan, Jr., and the covert organization known as The Campus, the fight against America’s enemies is never over. But the danger has just hit home in a way they never expected in this #1 New York Times bestselling Tom Clancy thriller....

The Campus has been discovered. And whoever knows they exist knows they can be destroyed. Meanwhile, President Jack Ryan has been swept back into the Oval Office - and his wisdom and courage are needed more desperately than ever.

Internal political and economic strife has pushed the leadership of China to the edge of disaster. And those who wish to consolidate their power are using the opportunity to strike at long-desired Taiwan, as well as the Americans who have protected the tiny nation.

Now, as two of the world’s superpowers move ever closer to a final confrontation, President Ryan must use the only wild card he has left - The Campus. But with their existence about to be revealed, they might not even have a chance to enter the battle before the world is consumed by war.

FAR FAR FETCHED

Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?

way far flung story line. cyber war with china, yes realistic...spying on ppl with traffic light camera's...a bit over the top

What was most disappointing about Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney ’s story?

too non realistic

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

LDP outstanding!!

Keeps you turning the page.

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

Yes, this is highly entertaining.

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

The plot was fast moving and intriguing. It is helpful if you are a fan of the series and are familiar with the characters, but you don't have to be to enjoy the story.

What about Lou Diamond Phillips’s performance did you like?

Excellant. Moved effortlessly from character to character.

AMERICA

Interesting idea. It seemed to end a little bit abruptly, much like this review does.

Is this a Fiction or Real Life event happening?

Would you consider the audio edition of Threat Vector to be better than the print version?

I think it would be best to have it on audio. I liked it!

What does Lou Diamond Phillips bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is just a great reader! Good ability to keep the story interesting.

Any additional comments?

This is a good book to travel to. It really made us want to get going to hear more story.

A Clancy classic

If you could sum up Threat Vector in three words, what would they be?

A Clancy classic

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack Ryan Sr because he is a true leader - wise, experienced and able to take responsibility.

What about Lou Diamond Phillips’s performance did you like?

Amazing! When someone is able to perform multiple characters in a way that makes them real AND makes you forget who the perfomer is? Fantastic.

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

No, I wanted to draw it out. I was disappointed when it ended. I could have listened to hours more.

Over the Top Good Book

Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?

Yes because it was mysterious, intriging, exciting, spy driven, politically interesting, had international components, dare devil action on the ground & in the air, fabulous characters, gun education, cliff hanging episodes & just enough romance to sweeten the story. I also found it more believable to have Ryan back in the White house as this just cemented the plot more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I just can't pick a favorite. Lets just say whoever is in the picture at the time.

Which character – as performed by Lou Diamond Phillips – was your favorite?

Again, he was great, so great that I could never tell there wasn't all those characters being themselves.

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

I did laugh at times, & now I have gotten in the habit of saying "Copy that!"

Any additional comments?

I loved the long length of the book

Typical Clancy

Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?

I can't stop listening to this book, I listen in the car and find myself sitting in the car after I reach my destination so engrossed in the story I can't get out of the car.

What did you like best about this story?

I love how Clancy builds the details of a story and then suprises you with a crash of action before moving on.

Fantastic!

So many parts to this book then coming together makes it absolutely great. Lou Diamond Phillips does a remarkable job.

Really enjoyed this book

Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?

I would listen to it again. Lou Diamond Phillips is great! He really brings it to life. I have no idea how he remembers and changes his voice for so many characters perfectly.

What did you like best about this story?

It's very up to date and timely, makes you think of the non-obvious threats out there

Any additional comments?

I believe this is Lou Diamond Phillips's 3rd Tom Clancy Book. I think it would be cool if he went back starting from "Hunt for Red October" and performed them all!

Loved it

Excellent, fast paced and entertaining book. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, characters and informative book.
