Publisher's summary

For President Jack Ryan, his son Jack Ryan, Jr., and the covert organization known as The Campus, the fight against America’s enemies is never over. But the danger has just hit home in a way they never expected in this #1 New York Times bestselling Tom Clancy thriller....

The Campus has been discovered. And whoever knows they exist knows they can be destroyed. Meanwhile, President Jack Ryan has been swept back into the Oval Office - and his wisdom and courage are needed more desperately than ever.

Internal political and economic strife has pushed the leadership of China to the edge of disaster. And those who wish to consolidate their power are using the opportunity to strike at long-desired Taiwan, as well as the Americans who have protected the tiny nation.

Now, as two of the world’s superpowers move ever closer to a final confrontation, President Ryan must use the only wild card he has left - The Campus. But with their existence about to be revealed, they might not even have a chance to enter the battle before the world is consumed by war.

Slow start, explosive finish!

Love the series! The individual books are expertly integrated into the overall story! Love it

Easy and on Target

Good audio fodder, good tale, well read, not too much grey matter needed and just what you expect from TC. That being said, I am not sure these days just how much is coming from the 'master' and how much from his surrogate. It shows.

Good Story a little unbelievable

What made the experience of listening to Threat Vector the most enjoyable?

Some of the Virus stuff touches on what’s real but this book deviates from real life a little too much in some ways mostly towards the ending.

Chillingly realistic

Highly recommended, and an highly realistic tale of our world wide webs many weakpoints.

Excellent performance, and in depth narration of the storys many different characters.

Enjoy.

I would like to see a Hollywood adaptation of this book! Loved it! Suspenseful and left me feeling bummed out when I had to take a break. Lou Diamond Phillips does well in narrating the story.

Best Clancy book in years!

What did you love best about Threat Vector?

I started listening to the book just during my hour drive to work. It wasn't long before I was listening during breaks and after I got home at night. The action and intensity just keeps building right up to the end. It's got spies, computer gadgets, fighter jets, world powers on the brink of war and lots of good guys saving the day in the nick of time. John Clark is back and president Jack Ryan along with Jack Junior are major characters.

What did you like best about this story?

All loose ends are wrapped up by the end of the book and in the epilogue.

Which character – as performed by Lou Diamond Phillips – was your favorite?

Gavin, the computer nerd - expert.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

Loved it, I am a Clancy fan & was not disappointed. Be starting another soon!
