"Another great novel by Tom Clancy. An aggressive China using cyber warfare and all of its anti-access / area denial capabilities seeks to gain control of the South China Sea. Jack Jr, associates, the USN and the USMC lead the defense, then counterattack. The weaving of cyber, deception, and AA/AD TTPs make this a very contemporary and relevant read."
— Gordon (4 out of 5 stars)
" Had me sitting on the edge of my chair the entire book. Awesome fictional story but could be so very true! Clancy again brings real world issues to the forefront and we should all take note! Cyberwarfare is real and China is kicking us. Must read! "
— BRS, 2/10/2022" Full disclosure: I'm a Tom Clancy fan from years ago! Love his character and plot development! He throws in enough military jargon to make his tales believable - but not so much as to make his story a burden. Any of his stories involving Jack Ryan are great, as far as I'm concerned! "
— Neil, 5/3/2018" OK, I'm an unabashed Clancy fan. This one is true to form, timely issue plot: Chinese hegemony takes hacking to new levels. Good escape entertainment. "
— Tom, 2/7/2014" Another great book by Tom Clancy. "
— Jerry, 1/28/2014" Good thriller! Nice cyber angle. "
— Ram, 1/26/2014" AAArrrgh comes to mind, the technical detail is ok ,the plots are becoming thinner, there is hardly intrigue or thriller moments , infact it is hardly a page turner. I have read all of Mr Clancys work but please lets have a break with all these other hanger ons . Im going to be hard pushed to buy another one and from such a talented author its a tragic shame i expect so much more than an okay novel "
— Richard, 1/21/2014" I really enjoyed this book, especially in light of the world today and the things not said related to cyber terrorism at play. "
— Hgwalker, 1/2/2014" Well crafted for what it is... a bit trashy and politically transparent, yet well researched. It's a fast read and a bit predictable. "
— Noel, 12/18/2013" Loved it. Great read! "
— Chris, 12/9/2013" Obviously a continuation of the evolution of Jack Ryan Jr. from "desk jockey" at Hendley Associates into the agent his father Jack Ryan Sr. became. It was sad because one of the members of the original team was killed, but the book was exciting and very hard to put down. "
— Lou, 12/7/2013" I enjoyed it. It didn't keep my interest and the intensity up as much as the previous books. But Clancy (and whoever) are still the model for what everyone else is trying to do. The intrigue and geo-political motivations are still top notch and second to none. "
— Rob, 11/21/2013" A compelling international thriller. A great addition to the Jack Ryan story. "
— Don, 11/20/2013" I will read any of Clancy's novels (and have). This one is a page turner and so far, unlike some, I haven't skipped sections that go into too much technical detail. "
— Ronnie, 11/11/2013" Slow development of the story line; not my favorite by a long shot. Since Bear and Dragon, the stories seem to be drawn out. "
— John, 11/4/2013" Excellent. A long book, but not bogged down with a ton of technical jargon, the way some of his books are. The plot was extremely timely, well-written. His current cast of characters is good. I thoroughly enjoyed this. "
— Leslie, 9/13/2013" Awesome read! Couldn't put it down! I loved all the detail. "
— Terry, 5/17/2013" I'm enjoying this series with Jack Jr. "
— Christy, 5/9/2013" Even though Tom Clancy isn't writing his own books anymore, Mark Greaney is doing a good job of maintaining the same tone as TC. It's been a good transition from Jack Ryan to Jack Ryan Jr. I'm looking forward to the next book. "
— Ryan, 4/15/2013" As usual, Tom Clancy has hit a home run. Reader beware: This is a frightening book. Anyone who travels to China, business or pleasure, knows or suspects what the Chinese government is capable of. Tom Clancy's book takes it to the possible end. "
— Mark, 3/17/2013" Enjoyed very much! A real page turner! Good thing because there are a lot of pages to turn. "
— Mike, 3/10/2013" I thought it was a good read, kept me entertained. Only thing negative to say is that I felt the book was too predictable, everything pretty much went as was expected, a few twists would have made it much more enjoyable. "
— Roland, 2/12/2013" Great story and very much like reading the news on a country attacking the US via the Internet and inside knowledge. "
— Tom, 1/30/2013" Classic Tom Clancy. How I have missed you. 830 pages, 2 days. Couldn't put it down. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it could have been so much more. Book really makes you wonder about future of international relations and internet infrastructure capabilities / cyber security. "
— Brett, 12/31/2012" Yet another great book by Tom Clancy, although not one of his best. "
— Barry, 12/11/2012" A very interesting plot. I often wonder what would happen if technology that we are dependent on ever fails us. There were a few technical details that were off about the Ryan family too. Must be because of the collaboration efforts with Tom Clancy. "
— Alex, 12/11/2012" Long book took several days to read. "
