Another great Clancy original

Good story by Tom Clancy and the narration and voice were excellent. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Classic Blast from the past

I read this book back in the 80s and loved it. Listen to it 35 years later and it was still great. It was fun to Remus time where there were no high tech satellites or thermal image scopes! Before the fall f the wall. Really fun!

Use clips and bookmarks

There are a lot of Russian characters to keep track of. You can note each Russian character’s name bookmarking the spot that character is introduced and then it’s easier to go back and listen to the introduction again if you lose track of who’s who and add to the note at that point

amazing book, okay narration

the main issue for me was the changing equalization of the audio, which I found jarring during climatic scenes. the narrator is not as good as scott brick, but he's not as bad as some of the other reviews say. I enjoyed it more the second time through, something that's happened with most of mr clancy's books since their so dense.

gripping international intrigue

Besides being an excellent story, Clancy's abilities to bring the views of international intrigues makes one wonder if he might not have been involved in situations such as these one day. His attention to details in his book's is rivaled by few authors, and yet he still is able to show the human side of all of his characters.
