About this listen
Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!
Tom Clancy delivers a #1 New York Times bestselling Jack Ryan novel that will remind readers why he is the acknowledged master of international intrigue and nonstop military action.
It is The Campus. Secretly created under the administration of President Jack Ryan, its sole purpose is to eliminate terrorists and those who protect them. Officially, it has no connection to the American government - a necessity in a time when those in power consider themselves above such arcane ideals as loyalty, justice, and right or wrong.
Now covert intelligence expert Jack Ryan Jr. and his compatriots at The Campus - joined by black ops warriors John Clark and “Ding” Chavez - have come up against their greatest foe: a sadistic killer known as the Emir. Mastermind of countless horrific attacks, the Emir has eluded capture by every law enforcement agency in the world. But his greatest devastation is yet to be unleashed as he plans a monumental strike at the heart of America.
On the trail of the Emir, Jack Ryan Jr. will find himself following in his legendary father’s footsteps on a manhunt that will take him and his allies across the globe, into the shadowy arenas of political gamesmanship, and back onto U.S. soil in a race to prevent the possible fall of the West....

Great story
Great story, a little limited just because it has to be tough to put a full story like this into one book. Kudos to the authors. A total 5 for the narrator and the editing. I wasn’t catching bloopers all over the place as in the prior novel. Plus I didn’t have to back up a lot, as when the prior narrator in the prior book raced through scene changes and people speaking. Solid 4.5 rating.

One Step Deeper into the Battles of Fanaticism
As with all of the Clancy Series of books, this author has struck the balance of technical detail, intellectual intrigue, and heart numbing impacts on the soul issues of society. A wonderful plot and storyline read by a talented artist: What more could you possibly want to occupy the subcocious mind while on the road?

Umm...yeah. Okay...
No-one ever accused Clancy of being a literary giant. But I like the guy's stuff. Up until 'Debt of Honor' the Ryan series was at least plausible. This collaborative book is pure pulp. Maybe Tom went demented, and pulled a Trump, putting his name on someone else's work to generate sales.
Lou Diamond Phillips is a very good reader, decent accents and subtle voice changes for different characters. Excellent pacing.
Not a great book but fun "Brain Candy". 5 stars out of 10.

Story was too long!
I felt the story really dragged in spots. Also I felt there was too much swearing used in the writing. I can certainly accept some foul language given a Tom Clancy novel, but this was excessive.
I look forward to the next in the series- I'm hooked!
Narration was excellent. Lou Diamond Phillips did a great job with voice changes and flow of the story.
