Summary
PRE-ORDER THE LATEST ELECTRIC THRILLER IN TOM CLANCY'S NO。 1 BESTSELLING JACK RYAN SERIES
Jack Ryan - out to avenge the murder of an old friend - finds himself in deep trouble fast 。 。 。
During a well-earned break， Jack Ryan Jr runs into old flame Renee Moore in a scenic Barcelona café。
But Renee is not so pleased to see him。 Distracted， she says she's waiting for someone and can't talk。 She promises to call him later， and sends him out onto the street。
Which is when the bomb goes off。
There's nothing he can do to save Renee。 But as he cradles her， she utters one last word with her final breath: 'Sammler'
Who did she mean？ What did she know？ And what trouble had Renee got herself into？
When every thread Jack pulls threatens to make the situation ever more dangerous， he realises he's stumbled into an international conspiracy that might be more than even he can handle。
Because Renee isn't the first to die。 And she won't be the last 。 。 。

Jack Ryan Jr runs into old flame Renee Moore in a scenic Barcelona café and discovers a mystery after she looses her life in a bomb explosion。 Of course Jack Ryan Jr。 goes across the globe to track down the mystery。 It is a good fast paced book and worth the reading time。

Never disappoints！The first Tom Clancy book I ever read was Hunt for Red October and I've been hooked ever since。 I love the main characters and storytelling lines！ Never disappoints！The first Tom Clancy book I ever read was Hunt for Red October and I've been hooked ever since。 I love the main characters and storytelling lines！ 。。。more

Meh。 Given to my wife by a neighbour， I only read this because it was in the box of books we packed for our 2-month trip around Australia。 Now that we've both read it， we'll be donating it to the communal bookshelves of the next place we stay at Meh。 Given to my wife by a neighbour， I only read this because it was in the box of books we packed for our 2-month trip around Australia。 Now that we've both read it， we'll be donating it to the communal bookshelves of the next place we stay at 。。。more

Not the best。。。。。 Very confusing plotline。 Too many pages on characters that were not part of the main storyline。 Not the greatest set up for the exposure of the villian。

Exciting read。

Obviously， this is purely escapist action so my expectations were not high， but beyond a general idea about a super computer and underwater drones this book has very little to offer。 The only passion in the narrative is in the detailed presentations of guns and cars （possibly product placement）。 The characters and settings are all cliche and stock。 The ending was particularly weak and uninteresting。

Same old plot but with nice modern twists， including quantum computing。 I love special ops。 And I like the fact that it doesn’t end in a fist fight。

I really struggled with this one unfortunately。 I found it to be slow， not compelling， and too quickly wrapped up。 Could have been a longer book like Tom used to write， with more intrigue and more of The Campus。 The Jack Jr books seem to be too formulaic lately。

Really enjoyed。 This book！Mike Madden did a great job on this book， keeping Jack Ryan’s character alive and well。 I hope more books are on the way。

Fairly good book。 There was a lot of techno babble that was over the top， but other than that it was an enjoyable read。

Another SupermanThis story is a repeat of one often told a secret government agent with super powers。 Ho hum！ Like many authors Clancy has turned the job of writing over to his ghost writer。

Yet another fantastic read Really enjoyed this latest book。 Good to see Jack working in his own until right at the end。 Easy to get。 Lost in the story。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Another dead pseudo-partner for Jack Ryan Jr。 Stay away from this guy！ You will end up dead， bad guys for sure and alot of good guys too。 Nice storyline and very much from current headlines other than covid。 Crazy presidents， but the same old bad-guys North Korea， Russia and Iraq and the cartels。 But he saved the world again。 3rd time this year。 Lol

Almost went to 3 stars: - JRJ is the only real field character until the last chapter， and that was hardly a mission。 - - 3/4 of the book is leading up to the actual moving plot- the only real "love interest" for JRJ is left as an enigma - nothing was said about what happens to her。- in one chapter he is in Barcelona， next he is in Tennessee。 Not a smooth transition Almost went to 3 stars: - JRJ is the only real field character until the last chapter， and that was hardly a mission。 - - 3/4 of the book is leading up to the actual moving plot- the only real "love interest" for JRJ is left as an enigma - nothing was said about what happens to her。- in one chapter he is in Barcelona， next he is in Tennessee。 Not a smooth transition 。。。more

I've read all the books in this series and other Clancy series and have truly enjoyed most of them。 Maden did a great job on the other novels in the series， Point of Contact and Line of Sight， however this book was the worst of his efforts。 The plot was a bit far fetched， the title was misleading， and felt like a lazy effort to get the book written to fulfill his obligations to his publisher。 Example: the Russian submarine incident would have been a major part in any other of the Clancy/Maden no I've read all the books in this series and other Clancy series and have truly enjoyed most of them。 Maden did a great job on the other novels in the series， Point of Contact and Line of Sight， however this book was the worst of his efforts。 The plot was a bit far fetched， the title was misleading， and felt like a lazy effort to get the book written to fulfill his obligations to his publisher。 Example: the Russian submarine incident would have been a major part in any other of the Clancy/Maden novels but in this book it felt more like a filler than part of the story。 A woman driving a electric Motorcycle is hacked and crashes killing her， no identification or job description， nothing， why？ It appears that Maden as ran out of enthusiasm for the series and maybe it's time to pass the pen to someone else just like Eric Lustbader did with the Ludlum Bourne Series and passed it on to Brian Freeman。 I have in the past found it difficult to put down a Clancy/Maden novel and couldn't wait to pick it up again but that was not a problem with this novel， I read a chapter and became bored or uninterested in the plot line。 I did finish the book but unlike other finishes I am not looking forward to the next book in this Clancy/Maden series because if the effort is the same it will not be worth waiting for。 。。。more

The tom Clancey estate needs to find another ghostwriter for this series。 This story was ruefully slow and when the second and third dogs were tortured I was finished。

Could it really happenA very well done thriller that is difficult to put down。 A very unusual plot that gives you food for thought。 If you are into thrillers this one won't disappoint。 Could it really happenA very well done thriller that is difficult to put down。 A very unusual plot that gives you food for thought。 If you are into thrillers this one won't disappoint。 。。。more

To be clear， this is not a good book。 In fact， most of the books in this genre aren't good。Like some of the weaker in the series， it uses a brilliant evil mastermind pulling strings in some insanely complicated scheme， with a last second from our heroes， in an attempt to show the reader that "good" always prevails。 You add in generally mediocre prose and strange plotting， and you end up with a middling rating。So then why read these？ Well， aside from the obvious ease and diversion they provide， t To be clear， this is not a good book。 In fact， most of the books in this genre aren't good。Like some of the weaker in the series， it uses a brilliant evil mastermind pulling strings in some insanely complicated scheme， with a last second from our heroes， in an attempt to show the reader that "good" always prevails。 You add in generally mediocre prose and strange plotting， and you end up with a middling rating。So then why read these？ Well， aside from the obvious ease and diversion they provide， they do tend to catch you up on some of the more cutting edge military technologies and the threats they create。 And since they are based in reality， it gives the reader something to consider。 For example， another similar novel posed the question - what would happen if the country lost all electrical power for the foreseeable future， through a combination of hacking as well as physical destruction of key nodes in our aging electricity infrastructure。 The answer is practically biblical。Anyway， if your expectations are low and you have some time to burn， its fine， but don't expect to be wowed by great writing or even a particularly interesting plot。 But as its winter and COVID， this is a fine way to spend a few hours。 。。。more

More and exciting Set for the most part on a vacation in Spain by Jack junior， a truly exciting story。 While the plot to destroy the economy may have given a need for understanding of Quantum Physics， the story holds the reader’s interest ， the story does develop at a very rapid pace。 Not the best， but also not the worst either。 Eagerly awaiting The Shadow of the Dragon as it sees these exciting developments continue。 Always a worthwhile diversion in leisure time

Classic Clancy。 Good story line， typical action sequences。

A good story that could easily lose you in the labyrinth of cities with unpronounceable names。 Detail is good， but in this book， it takes you deep into the weeds。 The writer out-Clancys Clancy in detail。

Maden did not let me down for a good Ryan Universe thriller。 His style is a bit different than Cameron， but still a great read！
