Publisher's summary

Jack Ryan, Jr. finds himself on the front lines of cyber war and in the eye of a killer storm in this thriller in Tom Clancy's number-one New York Times best-selling series.

A former U.S. senator and defense contractor needs someone to look over the books of Dalfan Technologies, a Singapore company - quickly. He turns to Jack Ryan, Jr., and Paul Brown, two employees of one of the best financial analysis firms in the country, which also happens to be the cover for The Campus, a top secret American intelligence agency.

Brown has no idea that Jack works for The Campus. Jack has no idea that the awkward accountant has been tasked with uploading a cyberwarfare program into the highly secure Dalfan Technologies mainframe on behalf of the CIA. On the verge of mission success, Brown discovers a game within the game, and the people who now want to kill him are as deadly as the cyclone bearing down on the island nation. Together, Ryan and Brown race to escape both the dangerous storm and a team of trained assassins in order to prevent a global catastrophe, even at the cost of their own lives.

Critic reviews

“[A] taut, exciting thriller.... Clancy fans can rest assured that the state of the franchise is strong." (Publishers Weekly)

“[A] turbocharged narrative.... With typhoons; deadly Chinese and North Korean operatives wielding bats, knives, and guns; and a weaponized thumb drive, the action reaches Clancy levels early and stays there.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“[Maden] proves that he knows the ins-and-outs of an action story and can certainly take readers to the edge of their seats when it comes to thrills. It’s nice to know that Tom Clancy’s creation will have more adventures ahead.” (Suspense Magazine)

not so hot

not the best TC book. Jack Jr. was at times very frustrating. Maybe my least favorite of all of this series. Greaney is a better writer for sure.

amzing book

loved this book as it was my 1st audiobook and first nonfiction book to read.

Best Jack Jr Novel Yet

Another flawless narration from Scott Brick, and this time the narrative left nothing to be desired. Perfectly built suspense, complex characters and relationships, high stakes and surprising turns. Expertly crafted. More from Mike Maden please!

Pure and simple action-adventure greatness

The Jack Ryan jr. series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. They are pure and fun simple enjoyment and easy to listen to. These books are a lot less right wing propaganda oriented than the last few Jack Ryan novels Tom Clancy wrote. It really feels like this series is a continuance of the Great Hunt for Red October days.

Good Listen

Good story, different from the other campus plots. You will be sure to enjoy it a lot.

well read and filled the hours. average story.

Not the best Campus title. Another all jack jr. and an average story. As usual, Scott Brick reads it well. As a truck driver it helped burn the miles.

A good book representing Tom Clancy

I was worried when we lost Clancy that we would never get a book like his in the future. So far, the books have turned out to be very good. I like the Jack Ryan Jr. books a lot and this one was just as good as the others. There is so much potential to have new Jr. books coming out. Scott Brick is a fantastic narrator. I can't say enough about how I love to listen to him perform the books. I put on my list everything that he has narrated. I hope they are as good as these books are.

Great read

Jack never lets you down. I'll be a fan for life. Totally AWESOME! where can he go next?

Sluggish start

I haven't read a Tom Clancy book for a long time not have I read any books by Mike Maden. I am glad I did.
After the first couple of chapters I was wondering if I had made a mistake but soon we got to the meat of the story and enjoyed it very much.
Yea! Paul Brown! Average pudgy guys who save the world need more authors recognize their contributions.
