  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Jackie Frankovich | 2/10/2014

    " This book is so old that it feels out of date. But, I'm re-reading it because I'm out of new books. Looking forward to trying some of his newer stuff! Love Tom Clancy!! : ) "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Tony | 1/20/2014

    " extremely prophetic, with whats happened with terrorism since the book was written in the 1990's. probably my fav Tom Clancy book. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Ann Moon | 1/17/2014

    " My husband is a huge Tom Clancy fan, but this is the first Clancy book I have read. A huge, complex, suspenseful story -I wish Jack Ryan were running for President! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 D.K. | 1/16/2014

    " Finally done! Long read but pretty good. The copy I had was 1358 pages! Honestly, the last hundred or so pages are the hardest to get through. Not because of graphic violence so much as too strong a focus on characters you're not emotionally involved with. However, the final chapter was pretty sweet. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Julie | 1/9/2014

    " By far, Tom Clancy's best ever! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Tim | 1/9/2014

    " You'd think that eventually a former insurance salesman would stumble and write an only okay book. But not Tom Clancy. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Johan | 12/7/2013

    " Tom Clancy overload. Have read this book before. Still enjoyed the complexity and intrigues, but his political views started to annoy me. Too much. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Amanda Robertson | 11/26/2013

    " I. Love. This. Book. I couldn't put the thing down! I'm a total conspiracy theorist, so it fits right in with me. I like that there isn't a ton of military jargon like in some of Clancy's others... makes for faster reading. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Don Hill | 11/2/2013

    " The best Clancy novel ever. Three parallel plotlines. Three crises: one political, one military/foregin terrorism and one domestic terrorism. You won't be able to set this one down! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Crystal vasquez | 11/1/2013

    " Tom clancy is just an amazing writer. This book has so much action and it is a very thrilling book. There are many missions in this book and it involve alot of political terror. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Carl | 7/19/2013

    " Needed to read the next book in the series. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Mac | 11/17/2012

    " Only 800 pages plus, of heart pounding, mind blowing real life problems once again Mr. Clancy puts you in the middle of the sweat, tears and wondering if the right choice is being made always in light of what can be lost. What would/could you do if you were in Jack's shoes? "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Rebel | 8/26/2012

    " I'd like to think I would have finished this book but it's time to stop pretending....So I read the last page to see if Jack Ryan, once again, saved the world..... "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Robert Gusek | 7/31/2012

    " Kind of long, but still very good. Not many twists in the plot, but discusses some interesting views about government. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Spring | 6/22/2012

    " Interesting that Clancy wrote this pre-9/11. Don't read if you have a weak stomach, though. Any fan of Jack Ryan will like this one. I doubt it'll ever be made into a movie, too many sensitive issues in a post 9/11 world. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Jan Thong | 2/16/2012

    " one of my close favorite "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Rob Haug | 1/6/2012

    " Fairly pedestrian rendition of this book, but I DO think a Tom Clancy novel does not lend itself to a dramatic presentation. Good story. When Clancy is on top of his game (like he is here), everything clicks right down to the page-turning conclusion. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Bucklyn Bristow | 12/18/2011

    " Just what you expect from Clancy, well researched and well written. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Jared Shaver | 10/6/2011

    " Just a good read. Mr. Clancy's ability to touch on the hot points in political tension is very acute. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Jagad5 | 9/13/2011

    " I think this was the last of Clancy's excellent books. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Amanda | 8/26/2011

    " Wow, what a tome! Dense, but quite enjoyable - nice political thriller without the sexual element. This Tom Clancy guy is quite the public policy guru - I was very impressed. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Tom | 5/17/2011

    " Loved the ending! Hmmm.... look at today and how we are using our drones on the terrorists, makes you think. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Anne | 5/11/2011

    " I thought this book, since it featured Clark & Ding, would be among my fave's in the series. While not disappointed, it was OK, dragged a little, but the good guys won out in the end! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Andy | 3/24/2011

    " For me, it's a toss-up between this and "Without Remorse" for Tom Clancy's best. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Scott | 3/17/2011

    " Obviously written before environmentalism became popular "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Shaeley | 3/12/2011

    " John Clark leads an anti-terror group based out of England. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 James | 2/21/2011

    " Pretty good book but it tends to drag at times. Decent if you have nothing else you really want to read or you want to hang out and read by the pool, but I would not devote a lot of time to it. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Marilyn | 2/1/2011

    " I love Clancy's tales because they are full of technical details and full of suspense and this one provides all that and a more human touch to character development of the men from his previous books that are about the Rainbow team. A good read. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Ben | 1/29/2011

    " By this point, without the Cold War to provide inspiration, Clancy appeared to be wandering a bit. Still a good storyteller, but without the fervency of a true believer. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Tim | 1/29/2011

    " John Clark is a bad-ass. I love these books and the Rainbow Six. "
