Publisher's Summary

Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan gets caught in a war between the United States and a Colombian drug cartel and uncovers a shocking conspiracy.


When Colombian drug lords assassinate both the U.S. ambassador and the visiting head of the FBI, their actions trigger a covert response from the American government—a response that goes horribly wrong...

As the newly named Deputy Director of Intelligence for the CIA, Jack Ryan should be privy to operations like the one in Colombia, but he’s been left completely in the dark. With the help of field officer John Clark, Ryan intends to find out what’s really going on. But while they expect danger from without, the greatest threat of all may come from within.

Great story, great narrator

The story keeps you guessing and is brilliantly written. The narrator’s voice fits with the genre and navigates the story well.

Excellent Novel

This is one of Clancy's best. Full of great technical detail. Much of the plot weaving he was known for.
Prichard is a fantastic reader. Enjoyed this one. 8.5 stars out of 10.

Might just be my favourite Jack Ryan story

Really enjoyed the story, narrator wasn’t my favourite but still good
I have to say that The characters Clark and Chavez are the real stars in this one not saying that the jack Ryan character wasn’t an Intercal part of the overall story and we also get to see more development of his character

Book beats movie which was great.

The movie was terrific. The book was better. Yet again, Mr. Clancy wove a story web that made me want to resume after every break fromm listening.

great book

I really enjoyed this story and will be listening to the next in the series
I'd have preferred narration with accents though. it would've been good for following the story's characters
