"Great suspense with Jack Ryan as POTUS. Very, very LONG with 874 Pages especially for a slow reader like me. "
— Christine (5 out of 5 stars)
" kept my interest, a good story, well developed characters. Of course, being a Jack Ryan fan, very interested in him becoming president "
— Jim, 3/26/2011" Jack Ryan becomes President of the US following a terrorist bombing. Written pre 9/11 it is a mixture of unbelievable prescient description of troubles in the middle east combined with descriptions of dated technology. "
— Oldesq, 3/26/2011" Starts well and ends terribly. Mostly interesting as a frightening study of the insanities of right wing America. This book foretells many of the disorders of the W. Bush administration. Only die-hard Clancy fans should consider it. One of his worst in my opinion. "
— Steven, 3/6/2011" Too much ebola description. When I was reading this I was working two jobs and could only read while eating. After the (30th?) description, I finally lost my stomach for the story. And I have a strong stomach. As always the action was fine, but I couldn't finish it. "
— Karen, 2/3/2011" Still fun to follow Jack Ryan, but this book felt contrived and uninspired. "
— Ben, 1/29/2011" Enjoyed the Ebola sub-plot right to the very end! Also, the sleeper agents. "
— Muriel, 1/6/2011" Quite possibly my favorite book of all time. Jack Ryan becomes President and gives the orders. "
