Publisher's Summary

A missing Chinese scientist, unexplained noises emanating from under the Arctic ice, and a possible mole in American intelligence are just some of the problems that plague President Jack Ryan in the latest entry in Tom Clancy's number-one New York Times best-selling series.

Aboard an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean, a sonar operator hears an unusual noise coming from the ocean floor. She can't isolate it and chalks the event up to an anomaly in a newly installed system. Meanwhile, operatives with the Chinese Ministry of State Security are dealing with their own mystery - the disappearance of brilliant but eccentric scientist, Liu Wangshu. They're desperate to keep his crucial knowledge of aerospace and naval technology out of their rivals' hands. 

Finding Liu is too great an opportunity for any intelligence service to pass up, but there's one more problem. A high-level Chinese mole, codenamed Surveyor, has managed to infiltrate American intelligence. President Jack Ryan has only one choice: Send John Clark and his Campus team deep into China to find an old graduate student of the professor's who may hold the key to his whereabouts. It's a dangerous gamble, but with John Clark holding the cards, Jack Ryan is all in.

Not Tom Clancy anymore

Look, I know and you know that Tom Clancy died many years ago, Marc Cameron is the third author to take up the mantle of the Jack Ryan verse, but the stories have become short, simple and predictable. Also as I get into the I am starting to wonder at what point in the series did Jack Ryan Sr become president for life?

That being said, Scott Brick does an incredible job with the narration as always.

Average at best

Always look forward to a new Jack Ryan novel, but unfortunately very disappointed. Extremely short by Clancy standards. The plot is ok but not on par to other Clancy novels.
Scott Brick does a great job as always.

Good story, but a bit short.

It was good but not as good as some of the other books. Seemed rushed.

Cameron does honour to the Clark/Ryan legacy

Loved it. Can't get enough of the intrigue, and heart pounding chase. Love Ryan and Foley running real justice ops. Clark and Ding always add grit.

Well-written, beautifully plotted.

In my opinion, the best Jack Ryan book written by Marc Cameron. Looking forward to reading the next instalment.
