Another winner by Hurwitz with Dark Horse. Evan Smoak working for a drug kingpin?? Going after a cartel?? What’s not to love. Great story and narrator. Blew through this book in less than 2 days it kept me transfixed. The action, humor, and all around storytelling were all worth the credit.

The book is a decent thriller just not a Tom Clancy like book. Brick is awesome as usual as the narrator.
The biggest issue is Jack is basically James Bond now and it takes away from what the original books were like. Anyway a decent to good book that makes you yearn for the older Clancy books.

The most riveting novel yet in Christopher Reich’s New York Times best-selling series - featuring Dr. Jonathan Ransom and his undercover-agent wife Emma, a dangerous woman with a mysterious past who has gone rogue in the high-stakes, serpentine world of international spies. In 1980, a secret American B-52 crashes high in a remote mountain range on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Nearly 30 years later, and spanning locales from those peaks to New York City, a terrible truth will be revealed.

The storyline was a long but overall was a very good listen. Jack Ryan dealing with issues both domestic and abroad is Clancy at his best. The book will setup the status quo for Sum of All Fears.
You get the CIA, FBI, Navy, and others in the book in a thriller dealing with the cartels and America’s battle against the cocaine trade in a violent way and the problems it will cause.

What ruined it was the beginning stating this story could happen. Uhm, no. Without that I’d have probably enjoyed it more but putting that line in there made me think the storyline would be plausible. I love thrillers but that just turned me off.

So much going on as usual in a Clancy book that all will come to a head at the same time. Probably my favorite Ryan book of the entire first run of books. Plus first time we get John Clark in the series.
Excellent book all around.

Really enjoyed the back and forth between present and past. I prefer the jack sr stuff as he’s the character I like most and they’ve made jack jr into something of a superhero. Still that being said I enjoyed the book quite a bit.
I miss Scott Brick as the narrator and I’m happy he’ll be back with the next book. Lou diamond phillips is decent just not the same.

Good first book.
Reviewed: 02-20-19
First, Paul Michael is a treasure as narrator. A bevy of voices and accents separate characters easily.
Second, the story is really good for a first book. It’s your basic action adventure US operative is the best but it’s done well and has some good moments. I’m diving right into book 2 tomorrow.
