   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  This 13th book of the Jack Ryan series is the first one Clancy co-wrote with another author and I felt that I could detect a slight difference in the prose. While Clancy never had Jack (or other characters) hide their political and/or ethical beliefs, in this book they came across a bit more pontifical. The action was still gripping though! Most of the action in this book centers around Jack Jr. & his work at the Campus. While I had read the previous book that started this plot line, it was years ago so I was struck by the appearance of the 2 Caruso brothers twins who are Jack Jr.'s first cousins - I hadn't remembered there being extended family. Lou Diamond Phillips does an excellent job narrating.

 this latest book, like the most interesting of Clancy's work, has a tendency to both pander to popular fantasy (in this case, revenge) and, simultaneously, to play against it with hard-headed insights into the real world of military and intelligence operations. It's a fruitful tension that lends his books a quirky, appealing unpredictability that sometimes can survive even the author's eye-rolling politics. Belongs to SeriesJack Ryan (10) Distinctions
