Clear and Present Danger Audiobook

" An epic story! I loved it. If you have read "Killing Pablo" this story will be much more relevant. "

" I thught this book was very interesting in so many ways. It was about a group of ten soldiers that are strained on a heroic helicopter mission, and it goes down after that they also go to the Columbia there is alot of drugtrafficing and they are trying to stop it. I really recommend this book to students who play the Call Of Duty series, I think they will be really impressed by this book. "

" After Hunt for the Red October I expected more than we got "

" I started these books because I wanted something new to read and I like the Jack Ryan character. But he seems to be relegated to secondary character status. Plus, I found the book overly long and had probably 20 or so "main" characters. All in all, it was an OK read, but I found it a bit tedious and am really glad that I am finished with it. "

" Before I got bogged down in the sheer length of this series, I really enjoyed Jack Ryan's story (before they even selected Harrison Ford to play him in the film.) "

" The first chapter contains one of the most disturbing and disgusting scenes I have ever encountered in fiction. Not what I want for entertainment. "

" As always, Tom Clancy tells a great story - he always seems to have his ear to the current political/military pipeline. "

" Features the mysterious Mr. Clark, and battles against Columbian Drug lords. Graphic and epic as are all Tom Clancy's novels. This is not a beach read. I love the intricate weaving of various story lines into one. "

" Drugs are a problem that need solved, especially during an election year. So, the president wants to see what can be done about Colombian drug lords and their marketing in the US. Ding Chavez is chosen to be part of the mission run by Clark. By the time Ryan discovers what's happening, it is almost too late to get the troops out. "

" Definitely read the book. Skip the movie. "

" One of my favorite Clancy's- a great book! "

" My favorite Tom Clancy book. "

" Clear and Present Danger by Tom Clancy is the fourth book I've read by Tom Clancy and for the first time Jack Ryan is dealing with the Columbian Drug Cartel. This book is longer than the other 3 I've read but I can see they get longer as they become newer. This book had a different feel than the others probably because instead of there being a ton of Russians there were a bunch of Hispanics. No but seroiusly it did have more of a military book than a political one and like the othersa he focuses on one main plot with plenty of sub plots that get tied up in the end. Overall a good book 4 stars. "

" First 200 of some 600 pages dragged out but then high octane reading. "

" Yet another case where the book was soooo much better than the movie. "

" Pretty good, typical Tom Clancy - Jack Ryan book "

" there is a stage when you think that clancy is your man, and you read several of his books and you suddenly feel nausea. The same plot, the same man,the same heroism. The familiarity makes you puke. "

" Good book about clandestine operations and some also good details about South American intrigue. Clancy also does a good job describing action scenes and putting together plausible, while still entertaining scenarios. Compared to the book, the movie was stupid. Well researched. "

" My first Clancy book. Somehow I never read him before. Great story. "

" i dont dance mr. president... "

" Tom Clancy movie remakes blow. "

" A tome of a novel. Took me forever to get through, but that was also 15+ years ago! "

" Good book for an action novel. "

" A damn good book, very good. "

" The best of Clancy's main Jack Ryan series. Read the whole thing in 3 days...couldn't put it down. "

" My personal favorite of all the Clancy's -- Jack Ryan wasn't yet superman, and the new characters introduced in this book (like Ding Chavez and John Clark) weren't yet caricatures. I see this as the pinnacle of the Ryan series, after which (sadly) followed a long, slow decline into self-parody. "

" Pretty good, typical Tom Clancy - Jack Ryan book "

" See my review of Patriot Games. "

" Jack Ryan AND John Clark playing major roles in the same Tom Clancy book. Very good premise and well executed. Up there with his finest works. "

" Jack Ryan AND John Clark playing major roles in the same Tom Clancy book. Very good premise and well executed. Up there with his finest works. "

" Good bur gory. It took a while to read but worth it. "

" read when I was in my twenties "

" I really love Tom Clancy but this one was a bit over the top for me. It was not his best book. I still enjoyed it though. "

" Wow. This must be the book that established Tom Clancy as a best seller. I've read his novels out of order. That doesn't seem to matter, just adds flavor. "

" Solid and typical Clancy novel. Ryan goes to Columbia to extract a squad sent to disrupt drug trafficers. "

" The first Jack Ryan book I read (yes, I know it's out of sequence). With the introduction of the mysterious Mr. Clark was completely absorbing and (it's probably not a word) unputdownable. "

" Have seen the movie before and knew it'd be a quick read. Enjoying it so far! "

" First and Only Clancy novel I have ever read. Loved it. "

" Wow, so far the movie doesn't follow the book at all. "

" Good plot. Clancy shows he hasn't lost a thing in this installment of the Ryan series. Only flaw is the lengthy chapters and the amount of characters one must keep up with. Other than that, good read "

" My favourite Tom Clancy novel. "

" You can't get enough of Jack Ryan as this series now involves a "conspiracy" of sort with one of the most powerful man in the country. "

" good book. the whole war on drugs thing is intersting. on a side note, i found out recently that a guy i work with is the basis for one of the main military characters. weird. "

" L'avevo sulla libreria da .. 15 anni.. e poi... l'ho divorato :) "

" A damn good book, very good. "

" Well done, love the development of characters by Clancy and his consistency "

" Typical Clancy, I enjoyed the story but was bogged down in military speak and details. I liked seeing Ding Chavez again. Again, the story is good but it's a hot and cold read. Skimming the details that make you yawn until you hit a pocket of pages that thrill you and you're totally into it. "

" A good novel about how politics, personal gains and espionage acts affect each other, with different players, US president, CIA, Marines blackops and drugs cartels, the novel is interesting and has lots of action "

" Wow. This must be the book that established Tom Clancy as a best seller. I've read his novels out of order. That doesn't seem to matter, just adds flavor. "

" very suspenseful. I've read it before so I know what stuff is going to happen. "

" I believe this is the last Clancy novel I made it through completely. Jack Ryan is the man. With the Iron Curtain having fallen, it was time for Clancy to change gears so we head to South America and the War on Drugs. It was a compelling story, but not the best in the series. "

" No matter how many times I read this book, it always thrills me. Brilliantly plotted, great storytelling. "

" First 200 of some 600 pages dragged out but then high octane reading. "

" Do you need to cheat and learn a lot about the military really fast for something you're writing? This is the book for you! Incredibly descriptive and engaging, if a little on the long side, and the plot does wrap up rather quickly. Different ending than the movie. "

" Read this awhile ago, but the story was good. Exciting and one thrill ride after another. "

" I really liked the basic story of the book. I just wish he wouldn't use so much cursing. "

" With help from the president, Jack Ryan gets snipers into Columbia drug czar territory and barely back out again. "

" Have seen the movie before and knew it'd be a quick read. Enjoying it so far! "

" An epic story! I loved it. If you have read "Killing Pablo" this story will be much more relevant. "

" You've probably seen the movie, which is just fine. But if the movie is four or five star, then the book is a solid ten! "

" A good read. Lots of action and suspense. makes you appreciate our military men "

" One of the first to delve deep into the drug wars! Interesting read "

" This one really began to get me thinking and is the catalyst for the series of novels I'm writing. "

" Not one of Clancy's best, especially the strange promise to his fallen friend's next of kin near the end. The storyline was good, but Clancy doesn't do too well at personalities in his writing. "

" I liked this one a lot when I was younger. It still makes me want to be a light-infantry soldier. The moral quandries in this one are done much better than in his later works. "

" good story but as with all tom clancy books it contains more swearing that I'd like "
