One of Clancy’s best. Well done with great character development.

Excellent book, very well written, great pacing.

Great intro into field ops for the young Jack Ryan. I erroneously listened to another website’s recommendation to not read this book in the precise order it was written in. This is a great read. It follows Patriot Games and precedes Cardinal of the Kremlin.

This is very unlike Clancy’s other books. The amount of detail in every scene makes this a very tedious and slow read. Some things are said 2 or 3 times in different ways. I’m struggling to get past page 300. If 2/3rds or even half the verbage were removed it might be a good book.

It's a great "what if" and keeps you hanging until the end.
