Full Force and Effect

A Jack Ryan Novel

By: Mark Greaney

Narrated by: Scott Brick

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City, and a package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr. and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don’t have.

The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. The international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade. A young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the country’s nuclear ambitions. Until now, that program was impeded by a lack of resources. However, there has been a dramatic change in the nation’s economic fortune. A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage.

There’s just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan…the elimination of the president of the United States.

--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The action scenes alone come across beautifully, as visual as anything on a movie screen, with the added enticement of crisp, accurate and hard-driving prose.”
--Orlando Sentinel
THREAT VECTOR
“Each plotline comes to us mainly in a series of tightly written action scenes...as visual as anything on a movie screen, with the added enticement of crisp, accurate and hard driving prose.”—Chicago Tribune
“Hard to put down.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
COMMAND AUTHORITY
“Once again, the acrid scent of cordite wafted through my imagination during the climactic gun battle as Clancy’s characters from the world of intelligence achieved yet another victory over the forces of evil.”
—The Washington Times
“Vintage Clancy.”
--Kirkus Reviews

Mark Greaney is a rising star

I really enjoy the research provided in both political science and military details. Mark Greaney gets my attention when he authors a book.

Best Tom Clancy!

This is the best Tom Clancy novel. I have read/heard all the previous ones several times. Big fan. A bit strange that the best Tom Clancy novel is written by another guy, but the important thing is that it's good. Entertaining from start to end. Less politics than Clancy's own novels, and more action. Which is what I like.

Another Great Story

Loved it. Disappointed that Sam had to die. Can't wait to see who gets introduced.
