About this listen

In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, the firm Hendley Associates does a profitable business in stocks, bonds, and international currencies, but its true mission is quite different: to identify and locate terrorist threats, and then deal with them, in whatever manner necessary. Established with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan, "the Campus" is always on the lookout for promising new talent, its recruiters scattered throughout the armed forces and government agencies - and three men are about to cross its radar.

The first is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico, whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case. The second is Caruso's brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first combat action in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch. And the third is their cousin...a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr.

Jack was raised on intrigue. As his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and then into the White House, Jack received a life course in the world and the way it operates from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Service men, and black ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez. He wants to put it all to work now, but when he knocks on the front door of "the Campus," he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to encounter. For it is indeed a different world out there - and in here. And it is about to become far more dangerous.

Good start, abrupt ending

This was a typical Clancy book. I very much enjoyed it. That is until it abruptly and inexplicably ended. It was as if there were other parts to the download that I didn't have. I literally checked for missing parts twice. It wasn't until I pulled my hardcover off the shelf and looked at the ending that I really believed that the book had ended this way.
I would recommend it if you like Clancy's spy novels and if you are willing to be entertained for 16 hours and then left hanging and disappointed (with the ending) at the conclusion of the book.

NOT CLANCY'S BEST

As an avid Clancy fan I have read or listened to just about everything he has published. I am impressed with even his bad novels. I will not rate Teeth of the Tiger as bad, just not one of his best. The storyline as usual was so close to truth that it is easy to believe but it tends to be a bit dull and lacking in, the normal for Clancy, action. The ending left me hanging but not looking for further adventures of Jack junior. I still recommend the book but not to first time Clancy readers/listeners

Better than the negative reviews I read

What made the experience of listening to The Teeth of the Tiger the most enjoyable?

Action, the anticipation of the next person being killed.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Teeth of the Tiger?

Probably the end when Jack Jr. kills the man who had killed the Mosad agent.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The reader did a pretty good job of changing his voice for different characters. Sometimes not enough, but I prefer that to going overboard which some readers do.I counted 11 times where the same line was repeated. That was true in one of the other Jack Ryan books. I'd work on quality control. Have someone listen to the book, it's simple and doesn't take long.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

I skipped it because of so many negative reviews, but went back to it after I read the rest of the books in the series. We didn't hear from Jack Ryan, John Clark, or Domingo Chavez, but Clancy did a good job with Jack Jr. and his cousins. It was a nice switch.

Ranked high on my “Boring Meter”

This had the ingredients of a really good story (three individual characters of whom each was interesting). But unfortunately, there wasn’t much suspense in the book. Additionally, it seemed a bit disjointed. I might fall asleep listening to this book, and when I wake up, I realized I hadn’t missed anything of importance and just kept listening.
(just a note of irritation: I do not understand why the infamous Tom Clancy kept using the word “twins“ to refer to two of the three main characters. If they’re main characters, why wouldn’t he refer to them each time individually?🤷)

Still love Tom Clancy and the next generation, but

Still love Tom Clancy and really love the next generation, But... It seemed like he had started using the same lines over and over even in one story let alone the whole series. The same character will say the same dialogue a few times and I find that a bit annoying.

shorter than most but still gripping

I have enjoyed all of the Jack Ryan series, not knowing what to expect with this one, but it was good. The one element I didn't like was how quickly it ended. one of the drawbacks about listening to books as opposed to reading as you don't always know how far away the ending is. This one ended sooner than I wanted it too but I'm sure I'll just have to get the next one in the series.

Boring for a Clancy novel

To me, this was pretty boring for Tom Clancy. His earlier work expertly combined action and suspense, however this was a lot of young characters pontificating to the point of boredom. It was like he was trying to find a voice for his next generation of protagonists, but never did.

Performance glitch

During the reading of the story, lines are repeated in several places during the reading.
