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.

Excellent

Excellent. A real adventure for readers if all ages. Highly recommend. Keep up coming.

great espionage

Tom Clancy is just an awesome author takes you through emotions and stories that you can actually see while listening . Stories that could be factual and includes factual information I these stories just a great book

Loved it.

Have been a Tom Clancy fan since I was in the Army years ago. Haven't read (or been read to) a Tom Clancy novel that I didn't like. Would like to see more of his books turned to movies.

Awesome story! You'll want to be a CIA agent!

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

Yes!

What did you like best about this story?

Love the character, Max Moore.

What about Steven Weber’s performance did you like?

The performance was great. He "acted" it out!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Hated that so many good guys died.

Well Narrated, Story lacked a bit

The Narrator is the star of this. Not Clancy's best work by far, but still good. Just enough clues to make you realize what is going to happen without being upset. A little over descriptive at times which actually became distracting in the Audible format.

Well developed story mix

Enjoyed the story, there were two major story lines that seemed to be well woven together. The ending was bit of a surprise, but made sense and it felt more realistic. The Clancy attention to details and descriptions was maintained. The suspense carried thru to the end. Recommend this for the action and suspense.

Brilliant narration, average story!!!

The story was not so good. Not really that captivating and not really satisfying. But the narration was wonderful. Each and every character sounded different.

Be patient, it gets better

I was lost in the first 4 hours of this book, and almost stopped reading it. I am 8 hours into it now and give it a 4.5. Lots of characters to try to remember, but I am hooked into the story now. It would be nice if it came with a text file of the players. To me, it is much better that the last book. I will update when I get to the end.

This isn't Clancy

I've been a Tom Clancy for a long long time and this book wasn't written by Tom Clancy even if he did allow his name to be put on the front of the book. The writing style is completely different. Perhaps he did consult with Peter Telep on this book but Clancy did not wright this book. When I got this book I was wondering if this book was part of the Jack Ryan series. I would have said no until in the last 5 or so minutes of the book Jack Ryan's nephew shows up to recruit Max Moore into 'the campus'. I suppose that will allow another Max Moore book. I guess we will see. Having said all that the book was alright but it sure wasn't great. If there is another Peter Telep book added to the Jack Ryan series I hope Mr. Telep reads the other Tom Clancy books so that he can more closely approximate Clancy's style. The one thing that this book has in common with the other Clancy books is that the story line is complex enough that it requires the reader or in the case of audio books the listener to pay close attention. So to boil it all down. This is a decent book but not an exceptionally great book. Additionally this isn't a Tom clancy book.

No superheroes

One of the things I really enjoyed about this "Tom Clancy" book is that the characters have real flaws. Most of Clancy's main characters have little or no character flaws. Maxwell Moore seems considerably more believable as a real person than Jack Ryan (Sr or Jr), Ding, John Clark, the Carusos, etc.
Enjoyable story, nicely intertwined plot and good characters.
