Publisher's summary

For years, ex–Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore has worked across the Middle East and behind the scenes for the Special Activities Division of the CIA, making connections, extracting valuable intelligence, and facing off against America’s enemies at every turn. And then...news of a potentially devastating coalition: What if two of the greatest threats to the security of the United States were to form an unholy alliance? The Taliban is trying to exploit a Mexican drug cartel to which they supply opium as a means to bring the fire of jihad to the hearts of the infidels. It is up to Moore, and his team, to infiltrate and dismantle the drug cartel, even as they hunt for those who would bring the ultimate terror and destruction to the streets of America.In a story that races from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.–Mexico border, Tom Clancy once again delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is frighteningly close to reality.

Up to their usual high standards

Enjoyed it but not their best. Would make a good movie. I can't wait to see it.

Disappointing Tom Clancy novel

I was expecting a continuation of Tom Clancy characters in this novel (Jack Ryan, Sr. , John Clark, etc. ). Did not like the change and seemed a light weight treatment of characters and plot. 2 stars for story.

Great audiobook

I enjoyed the action sequences more than the actual story line. The description of guns made it quite entertaining and I thought the voice actors also sounded mature.

Another great book

Great story well done. Excitement from the beginning to the very, l end. I hope there’s a follow up

Great book and story

Plenty of intrigue and action. One of the authors better books. I truly enjoyed the audiobook

opt for the abridged version

More or less what we've come to expect from Clancy, including its length. I have no specific criticism. It was well told and well researched as always. The narration was excellent. It didn't necessarily leave me on the edge of my seat at any point and, even after nearly 20 hrs and a lot of background info, I still didn't feel like I knew the main character. Clancy's digs at airline security priorities are spot on and, for that reason alone, I hope many policy makers give it a read.

Great Novel on the War on Drugs

Much like Winslow's Power of the Dog, here's an inside look on the CIA's involvement in the war on drugs from an operative's point of view. It's less violent, less conspiratorial, a bit more technical, and still extremely entertaining.

There's no Jack Ryan here so politics really never come into play. All in all I enjoyed this one as much as his others.

An easy 4-5 star listen.

Tepid and dull. Where did the real Tom Clancy go?

Ever since Jack Ryan got old, Tom Clancy's books lack the snap and crackle that made them great in the past. It's more than that, however. This book is dull. Lots of detail that serves no real purpose in furthering the plot and a kind of aimless quality that made the story drag. To give you a sense of how little this book impressed me, I actully can't remember the plot ... and I read it just a couple of weeks ago. Is Clancy even writing the books himself or is it being written by his "co-author?" I do hope something will reinvigorate this author's pen with new energy, because this was flat as a pancake.

SoSo story line....Not a fan of the narrator.

SoSo story line....Not a fan of the narrator. Made Moore sound like a dusche bag.

Convoluted

Keeping characters straight and their roles in the plot was a challenge, but that may be caused by the fact that I listened to it rather than read it.
