Mr Christopher R Price

Clancy like readA very good story。 Could have been a little longer。 Nice to have John Clark back in his pomp。 Would definitely read another。

James Winchell

Vintage Tom Clancy story telling, Marc did his best job to date。 Great story using the main characters。 If you love Tom Clancy telling the first Jack Ryan stories then this one is one you must read。 Everything screams vintage Tom writing。 Again it’s a must read。 Jack Ryan is back。

Marsha Valance

A fast-paced spy thriller set in 1985, before the collapse of the Berlin wall。 CIA analyst Jack Ryan is transferred from London to Langley just in time to be re-routed to Berlin to i。d。 a mole in the American embassy, just as a German spy recovers classified data from a crashed spyplane in the Nevada desert, killing 2 innocent bystanders in the course of his escape attempt。 The 2 parallel investigations make for an exciting suspense novel。

It was a Jack Ryan original story, not Jack Jr。 The early days in his careet working with Mary Foley and John Clark。 A kind of introduction to the characters that we are used to in the Jr。 series。Jack and Mary infiltrate East Berlin looking for information on a mole in their Berlin station of CIA。 It's back during the cold war before the Berlin wall came down。 A true spy story but you could figure out the spy early on。 It was a Jack Ryan original story, not Jack Jr。 The early days in his careet working with Mary Foley and John Clark。 A kind of introduction to the characters that we are used to in the Jr。 series。Jack and Mary infiltrate East Berlin looking for information on a mole in their Berlin station of CIA。 It's back during the cold war before the Berlin wall came down。 A true spy story but you could figure out the spy early on。 。。。more

i loved this!!! awesome to go back to the days when my favorite characters were all still young and in their prime。

Jerry Summers

A throwback novel that fills in some blanks like Rogue One and Solo to the Star Wars dynasty。 Jack Ryan meets up with Mary Pat Foley in the Berlin of Wall days。 New and secret technology that now is widely knownFavorite line: At no time in the history of history has a woman responded positively to being told she’s hysterical!Human beings make decisions: observe, orient, decide, act (OODA)

Bill Sheridan

Don’t waste your time or moneyWorst copy of Clancy ever。 He must be rolling over in his grave。 I bought it because of the prequel aspect。 Big mistake。

Paul Gillespie

It felt like ClancyThis is the first book in a long time that has made me feel like Tom Clancy could still be alive and helping to write it。 It was definitely not a full Clancy novel, but it was still a good yarn written more like his style than many of the other recent books。 I look forward to the next in the series, especially if they give some good background stories on the crew。

J L NICOL

PAH - 1985After reading all of the Jack Ryan series this book was a large mistake and should not have been published, who wants to go back after Jack becoming the President is beyond me。Not happy, waste of money。 The story has already been written too!!!

Cecelia Madden

Disappointing and disjointedI absolutely love Marc Cameron's books and had great expectations for this new book in the Jack Ryan series; however, I was a bit disappointed with this one。 While the idea of writing a prequel was good, I found the story line a bit disjointed - the two main themes did not link up and there were too many unnecessary characters。 The story seemed to lack substance and may have been better if the author had stuck to one theme and fleshed that out a bit more。 Having said Disappointing and disjointedI absolutely love Marc Cameron's books and had great expectations for this new book in the Jack Ryan series; however, I was a bit disappointed with this one。 While the idea of writing a prequel was good, I found the story line a bit disjointed - the two main themes did not link up and there were too many unnecessary characters。 The story seemed to lack substance and may have been better if the author had stuck to one theme and fleshed that out a bit more。 Having said this, if you love the Jack Ryan series and the main characters, as I do, it is still a worthwhile read。 。。。more

A great readIMO, Marc Cameron hit one out of the park with this novel。 For me, reading of an earlier time in Jack Ryan’s career was like cardio with old friends。 Well done!

Mike Morgan

I loved going back!!I actually need to go back and start the Jack Ryan books over from the beginning。 Yes, I’ve read them all, but as memories go。 I know it’s like reading it for the first time again! Lol Fun Stuff

A good tale of Cold War intrigue。 UFO’s, Groom Lake, Area 51 and spy drama all rolled up into one。 We’ve put that era out of our minds as being so long ago, but this one has enough going on and takes us back to Jack Ryan’s early career ( the future president, not the son) and what it was like working against an antiquated totalitarian regime that would not let go。 I wonder why Marc decided to go back so far in time when writing this?

Maria Smith

excellent readExcellent read full of intrigue, mystery, espionage, bad guys, good guys, and, of course, our hero, Jack Ryan。 Set in East Berlin with all its troubles in 1985。

Sheldon

It is about time the Ryan, Clark and Foley series explained the origins of the group。 Enjoy a great blast into the past。

Great Book!It was nice to go back to the old days, Mr。 Cameron did a great job carrying the Jack Ryan Character into the Cold War。 It's hard to believe it's been almost 40 years since the first book, keep them coming。 Great Book!It was nice to go back to the old days, Mr。 Cameron did a great job carrying the Jack Ryan Character into the Cold War。 It's hard to believe it's been almost 40 years since the first book, keep them coming。 。。。more

Dan

Another absolute classic from the Ryan universeAny long-time fan of Ryan, Clark, Greer, Foley and all will NOT be disappointed。 Even rewinding 35 years, this story could not have been better。 Read it in two days。 I am a life long Mr。 Clark devotee and once again he’s just the best。 You always know that Snake will come out of nowhere and safe the day。 Grab this book right away。 You will not be disappointed。

Michael Travis

I was pleasantly surprised to pick up a new, but dated, Clancy story。 I hope that the writing team delves deeper where appropriate into stories inserted earlier in the Ryan journey。 I thoroughly enjoyed this page-turner。

Henry Osborne

NostalgicIt could be considered a prequel of sorts。 It filled in some of the blanks on how the "team" came together。 NostalgicIt could be considered a prequel of sorts。 It filled in some of the blanks on how the "team" came together。 。。。more

A great read。 Harkens back to post Patriot Games and Red October when Jack Ryan was still an analyst and John Clark was in his prime。

Bethany

How Ryan, Foley and Clark metEast Germany before the fall of the Berlin wall。 This fills a big gap in their stories。 It is also a reminder how vicious the East Germans and the Soviets were。 It is a great story。 I am not going to spoil it。 Read every page。

Melissa

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Ryan sr and mary pat foley sort of first meeting throw back。 Chronological is unclear。 Year stated 1985? After the hunt for red October。 At the end Ryan moves from london state side again to work for the c。i。a。 And Jack Jr is about 6 yrs old。 Clear and present danger, jr not born yet。

Jack in Berlin Early OnFun read with Greer,Foley and Clark in their heyday。 Being in Berlin before the fall of the wall in 1989, I agree the handwriting was obvious。 Cameron is a Master coupling it with a story of espionage in One ADA or so much that would, but the drama in East Berlin。 Enjoy since it's almost historical fiction。 Jack in Berlin Early OnFun read with Greer,Foley and Clark in their heyday。 Being in Berlin before the fall of the wall in 1989, I agree the handwriting was obvious。 Cameron is a Master coupling it with a story of espionage in One ADA or so much that would, but the drama in East Berlin。 Enjoy since it's almost historical fiction。 。。。more

Clever return to the 1980sAt first I thought I had missed this C!ancy book along the way。 All familiar characters appear。 No。 It's a 2022 release by Cameron。 Then I had to remind myself that Jack Ryan is the one that later became President of the USA, and his toddler son Jack Jr。 works in the shoes of his dad in present time narratives。 There they are confronting confusion and chaos of a divided Berlin with multiple spies from Russian and East German bureaucracies。 Interesting to picture Mary Pa Clever return to the 1980sAt first I thought I had missed this C!ancy book along the way。 All familiar characters appear。 No。 It's a 2022 release by Cameron。 Then I had to remind myself that Jack Ryan is the one that later became President of the USA, and his toddler son Jack Jr。 works in the shoes of his dad in present time narratives。 There they are confronting confusion and chaos of a divided Berlin with multiple spies from Russian and East German bureaucracies。 Interesting to picture Mary Pat Foley as a frontlines operator, paying her dues before moving high up in admin decades later。 。。。more
