The storyline is weak and relies on vulgarity to wake the reader. The story took forever and never went anywhere in my opinion. I think I wasted money and time on this book.

The plot was horrible. It seemed the author attempted to give a current event update intertwining Op-Center.
It was re bad.

Reviewed: 08-11-16
Wow I have never been bombarded with so many operating manuals. Way too much detail about the tools of the trade.
Seals are elite but this book fails their honored service by "bromancing" the relationship details and other needless filler.

Reviewed: 05-07-16
I felt lost in the storyline. Whoever wrote the ending left the reader wondering what other task they were working on. The reader is dumped into the epilogue to finish a rambling storyline. The only character developed by the author, is unbelievable. I was left hanging concerning the storyline.

Story
Although his father had been reluctant to become a field operative, Jack Ryan Jr. wants nothing more. Privately training with a seasoned Special Forces drill instructor, he’s honing his skills to transition his work within The Campus from intelligence analysis to hunting down and eliminating terrorists wherever he can—even as Jack Ryan Sr. campaigns for re-election as President of the United States. But what neither father nor son knows is that the political and the personal have just become equally dangerous.

This is a great Clancy thriller. The Campus operates as a secret entity within the government. It is almost non-fiction.

Story
Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China’s ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island.

Intricate weave of many heroes.
Reviewed: 01-03-13
Would you listen to Threat Vector again? Why?
Threat Vector transitions Jack Ryan Jr. into his father's former role without much difficulty. Mr. Clancy did his homework and appears to understand what is a very plausible attack of the United States by a very likely enemy. I had to hear more right up until the book ended.
What other book might you compare Threat Vector to and why?
Threat Vector was similar to Silver Tower written by Dale Brown in 1988. An action thriller based on little thought about but current and applicable events.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book impressed me. I laughed out loud at times and at other times I wanted to cry. I wanted to tell Jack and Dingo what I knew from other chapters of the book. I got involved and caught up in the story.
Any additional comments?
Everyone must read this great book.
