Lou Diamond Phillips is a great narrator! I love the blow - by - blow storyline and especially the action.

Another great title by Tom Clancy!

Off the top, LDP is amazing narrating this novel. He and Scott Brick do it best, and I always find LDP has the edge in action sequences and tense moments.

From start to finish this is one of the best of either the Jack Ryan or Jack Ryan Jr. series. The mystery of the poisoning, the investigative work, the nearly overrun outpost and Osprey extraction, the intrigue of the Russian organized crime and political worlds, and a truly successful use of long flashback stories made this on par with anything Clancy has written, and in my opinion, better paced and more readable.

It balanced Jack and Junior, used the campus pretty effectively (though I missed Hendley and Biery a bit. Gav made a brief appearance, but I could’ve used more, being a bit of a tech nerd).

Bringing Midas into the fold and really instilling how fearsome a warrior he was before his eventual ingress into the campus was brilliantly handled.

Man, the helicopter content, the environments…. I’ve read both series multiple times, and while there are moments I loved in many books, this one delivers from page one. Mark Greaney is such a gifted writer and developer of characters in his own right, and that skill and literary deftness is on display here. Each character is more “themself” than they are in other books. Junior isn’t whiny or led around by an overactive libido, Jack isn’t preachy or overdramatic.

This is a great book, handled just right. Mark Greaney writing and Lou Diamond Phillips narrating are a perfect combo. Reading the print version of this book is recommended too, just to make sure you don’t miss any of the good stuff.

Enjoy!
