Summary

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....

Take another thrill ride with Jack Ryan.

Ok

The story has a good start, but mediocre middle part and bad ending. Excellent performance.

The Ryan clan strike again

As usual an excellent book and well up to Clancy's standard. Each time you read his stories you can't wait for the sequel and this one is no different. The story line is very pertinent and credible in to-days situation and the action/reaction of politicians in the story seems to coincide with the actions of so many to-day. The question left hanging is will Jack Ryan regain the Presidency!

Great story and narration

The story is interesting and well crafted. The narrator can make or break an audio book, and for me Lou Diamond Phillips is excellent!

Another Tom Clancy at his best

Yet another outstanding story by Tom Clancy. I am truly enjoying this series about the Adventures of Jack Ryan, Jack Ryan Jr. This book is another follow-up to Campus storyline and the numerous activities of the Campus team and Rainbow 6 the Special Activities Black Ops unit that always manages to, not only save the day, but save the world as well. This, like all his other books is expertly researched and delivered flawlessly. Once started it is extremely hard to put down. Never a dull moment I would highly recommend this audible book to any Tom Clancy fan. An enthralling adventure and awesome listen. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
