Publisher's summary

Even though he's on forced leave from the clandestine intelligence group known as The Campus, Jack Ryan, Jr., still finds himself caught in the crosshairs after an attempt on his life is thwarted when he turns the tables on his would-be dispatcher. Convinced that the attack is linked to his recent covert actions with the convalescing Iranian national Ysabel Kashini, Jack sets out to find out who wants him dead - and why.

Using clues found on the now dead assassin, Jack pursues the investigation, following a growing trail of corpses to the European Union's premier private security firm, Rostock Security Group, and its founder, Jürgen Rostock - a former general in the German Special Forces Command. Rostock is world renowned as a philanthropist and human rights advocate. But Jack knows him from a Campus mission revolving around a company linked to RSG - a mission that has put him on Rostock's lethal radar.

Without any Campus resources, Jack launches his own shadow campaign to uncover the truth about Rostock and a long-running false-flag war of terror that has claimed thousands of lives. Yet all of that bloodshed is but a precursor to a coming catastrophic event that will solidify Rostock's place among the global powers - an event that Jack must stop at any cost.

Weak story, strong read

I have enjoyed the Jack Ryan, Jr. stories for a while now. I think I finally realized why I like them. It wasn't just Jack Jr. I liked about them. It was the whole Campus team that I enjoyed. Frankly, I have loved Ding and Clark since Clear and Present Danger.

Now, even with a weak story, the reading kept me going. Scott Brick knows how to read this genre. He makes them enjoyable.

this is not a Tom Clancy written book

This book is good has a nice story but it's not written hoe he writes, this is just one story. I miss the long intertwining story's that meet at the end of the story, honestly I think if you are going to write under his name you should at least make an attempt to write as he does, this just seems lazy.

my least favorite so far

I found myself wondering how any of this could happen constantly. I don't think Jack is nearly as bumbling as he's made out to be. And further, Henley would be foolish to take him back after this last situation.

looking guitars to Greaney 's next installment.

filler , not much to this book. curious what'next.

wondering if the next book will be back in line with now spey story to tell instead of filler.

Jr. needs to grow up..

I thought the book ended pretty quickly. That being said, I still liked it a lot.

Intriguing

There will never be another Tom Clancy but at least Jack Ryan is still going strong. The book was a little hard to follow because of all the characters and all the countries visited. Might have been easier in written form but still an enjoyable read.

Excellent story

I found it well writen, fast moving, very injoyable. I am looking forward to the next book, Point of Contact.

Compelling, but slower than other Ryan Jr. novels.

A good listen. Did it in one day. Scott Brick was excellent.
Much slower paced than the previous Ryan Jr. novels. Lacked the depth and intrigue...

too short, I need my Ryan fix!

I have waited, and now will wait again. It's worth the time to hear Scott Brick telling me Tom Clancy adventures, I miss true Clancy writing, but the characters remain and I like them!

The legacy continues strong

A worthy successor to the continued saga of Jack Ryan Junior. Exciting, well written and superbly narrated as you would expect. I definitely recommend this book.
