Absolutely nothing

This was better suited as a stand alone book, not one that is connected to Tom Clancy or Jack Ryan. While there is somewhat of a plausible story the endless abuse in detail by the DDR agent is tedious. It comes across as someone writing a mediocre story and just jumping on the Tom Clancy coat tails. The characters behave very different to how they were established by Clancy. Perhaps a different narrator would have saved some of it, but I am really irritated that I paid money for this. I still have 7hrs left and will not be finishing it.

Please stop

The narration is great. The story however lets the whole down. Characters, especially female ones, lack any depth in this book and are essentially exaggerated caricatures, especially female characters.

Predictable with an abrupt ending

As I said in the subject not one of his better ones and narration was terrible. The entire book sounded like a 1980s laundry detergent ad!
