Kathleen Gray,
It's prescription drugs that set off the action in this latest installment in a long running series that's easy to dip in and out of。 President Jack Ryan is trying to rectify issues with the pricing and quality of imported prescription drugs and that puts him, and his cabinet, at odds with villains who will stop at nothing to keep their economic place。 Oh, and then there's the other "stuff"。 As with all "Clancy" novels, this moves quickly from place to place- in this case, from Washington to Jap It's prescription drugs that set off the action in this latest installment in a long running series that's easy to dip in and out of。 President Jack Ryan is trying to rectify issues with the pricing and quality of imported prescription drugs and that puts him, and his cabinet, at odds with villains who will stop at nothing to keep their economic place。 Oh, and then there's the other "stuff"。 As with all "Clancy" novels, this moves quickly from place to place- in this case, from Washington to Japan to Afghanistan to Latin America to Texas (and other stops along the way)。 The sudden natural death of the Vice President raises an additional problem- who should Ryan pick? And then there's Cathy, who is kidnapped。 And Chilly (I'm a fan of Chilly who I hope will appear in future books), an intrepid good guy。 Fans will recognize many of the characters (and the list at the beginning is useful when you lose track as I did) and enjoy the new ones。 Unlike some novels in this genre, it's almost genial, with nice touches of humanity。 Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC。 This isn't deep but it's a page turner and that makes it a great read for travel, whether by air or in an armchair。 I had a great time。 。。。more

Candy,
Overlapping stories keep this book moving quickly。 The regulars are back along with a new group of baddies。 Everything gets tied up nicely in the end。
