In the suburbs of Maryland, the firm of Hendley and Associates meanders its way through financial transactions—but its true purpose is to identify and locate terrorist threats, and then deal with them in whatever manner necessary. “The Campus” is always on the lookout for new talent, and its eye happens to light on President John Patrick Ryan’s son: Jack Ryan, Jr. While his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and into the Presidency, Jack Jr. received the benefit of years of life experience in special ops, intelligence analysis, and the way the world really works. Now, the Arab terrorist world and the Colombian drug cartels are about to unite forces, and Jack Jr. must put all he has been taught to good use—or else.

"An ex-officio anti-terrorist agency has been established by President Jack Ryan, and is always on the lookout to recruit new talent. This time two brothers Dominic and Brian Caruso join the team, along with Jack Ryan, Junior, to take on the latest crop of international and domestic terrorists as successfully as his indomitable father."
— Curtiss (4 out of 5 stars)
" I really enjoyed this continuation of the Jack Ryan storyline. I keep waiting for a sequel with the Ryan son and cousins. Still waiting. . . "
— Karen, 2/19/2014" Got to love Tom Clancy! "
— Martha, 2/17/2014" This one was disappointing. I feel Clancy's getting worse with the years. :( "
— Saajid, 2/9/2014" Tom Clancy needs to pay his ghost writer more money. If I could give it less than 1 star I would. I'm not sure what happened, Clancy used to write incredibly interesting books with good characters. It seems the new model is the Clive Cussler method with super manly men who bed any woman they like, the bad guys are morons and the woman are stupid. I only read about 50 pages before I decided I would rather read the instruction manual for my dishwasher. Tom Clancy used to write great books. Now he puts out crap. Don't waste your time with this, or in my experience, anything that Clancy has put out since the mid 90s. "
— Dan, 2/9/2014" Now Clancy's taking the series a bit too far. Fine, Jack Ryan became US president, but honestly, dragging the series on with his kids is ridiculous. Also, where did Enzo and Aldo come from? "
— Szetong, 2/9/2014" Not as good as some, but it sets up Jack, Jr as his next "hero". "
— Misspennylane, 2/5/2014" Kristie's pick. Can't wait to read the sequel, Dead or Alive. "
— Katy, 1/16/2014" Was hoping for a Clancy come back - sorry, didn't happen "
— Dennis, 1/13/2014" cool book, one of those that combines a lot of stranded plots in the beginning.. Clancy uses the sense of an "existing world & crime" in this book.. really enjoyed it "
— Adit, 1/9/2014" I found the book quite bland, from the plot to the characters. These teeth had no bite "
— Ricardo, 1/6/2014" Fun restart of Jack Ryan universe. "
— Kelly, 12/7/2013" Another very good Tom Clancy novel, fun and enjoyable "
— Richard, 12/6/2013" Tom Clancy always wries a good book. I'm glad that my brother - in - law turned me on to Clancy many years ago. I look forward to reading another one. "
— Anne, 12/4/2013" Classic Clancy. Fun, engaging and exciting. I wish I could have my own daily dialogue written by Tom - I would sound so much cooler. "
— Brian, 11/26/2013" Enjoyed the young Ryan though a bit predictable. Not too bad a story however. "
— Jerry, 10/18/2013" I wish I could give this one negative stars, it is absolutely atrocious. I actually have liked most of Clancy's books, but he blew it with this one, he must of been on deadline. Stay away, stay far away from this or you will never look at a Clancy book again. Barf. "
— Virgil, 5/9/2013" not as good as vintage clancy and Jack Ryan Sr, but entertaining nonetheless. Jack Sr has more of a personality than his son. "
— Jessica, 1/25/2013" Not quite up to his usual standard but an ok read. "
— Cath, 12/26/2012" A new generation in the Ryan clan joins the black side of the family business. This book begins a new series laying groundwork I am sure will be essential to books to come. I tend to be a bing reader so will follow this up with more books in this series as I come across them. "
— Patricia, 11/24/2012" It is wonderful to find out how Jack Ryan, Jr gets started. "
— Michael, 10/2/2012" The #1 "New York Times bestselling novel from the world's favorite international thriller author, Tom Clancy. "
— Eddy, 4/16/2012" This book wasn't for me. It was too wordy and too "macho" and I found myself rolling my eyes alot. There were parts of the book that I liked though, and if the first three quarters of the book had been anything like the last quarter I would have really liked it. "
— Amy, 4/11/2012" My first Tom Clancy novel. He definitely writes fun stories. I know the stories of several other novels written by Clancy, this one seems the most applicable to the status-quo (considering the increase of terrorist activities). I am looking forward to the next Clancy novel. "
— Soren, 7/11/2011" Love this genre of book... a page turner and several small stories in one, several plot lines that all tie together! Great read! "
— Tracey, 5/7/2011" Clancy has done better. Just about the time the book started to have suspense, it saw over. I smell a sequel?<br/> "
— Scott, 4/29/2011" Not as bloated as some of his other books (see Bear and the Dragon), but not as good as Clear and Present Danger. Not as much with the actual military in this one, which is Clancy's bread and butter. "
— John, 4/29/2011" never finished it. book just couldn't hold my interest. May try again some time. Too long ago to remember the detail but the characters weren't compelling enough. perhaps I was missing jack ryan, john clark, ding, etc. "
— John, 4/13/2011" Now Clancy's taking the series a bit too far. Fine, Jack Ryan became US president, but honestly, dragging the series on with his kids is ridiculous. Also, where did Enzo and Aldo come from? "
— Szetong, 4/12/2011" Got to love Tom Clancy! "
— Martha, 4/12/2011" This one has been on my to read shelf for some time. It is an excellent Clancy classic. The Ryan family continues in the forefront of world crisis. It held me on the edge of my seat. It is a must read for Clancy fans. "
— J.W., 3/22/2011" not as good as vintage clancy and Jack Ryan Sr, but entertaining nonetheless. Jack Sr has more of a personality than his son. "
— Jessica, 2/12/2011" Not like his older stuff. "
— Barb, 1/28/2011" This was one of his better ones. Not so much technical description. I enjoyed the story line, plot, and action. "
— Paula, 1/26/2011" Going through this book again before I read/listen to the newest Tom Clancy book.<br/><br/>Now that I've finished it, it's crazy to think that with such an open ending to the book that Tom Clancy waited so many years to write another book in this series. "
— Pedro, 1/20/2011" The most maligned work of the series. It's not Clancy's best but it's far from the disaster that some make it out to be. I enjoyed it very much. "The Bear and the Dragon" is a much different story... "
