Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan.

The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China’s ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island. Meanwhile, Chinese cyber warfare experts have launched a devastating attack on American infrastructure. It's a new combat arena, but it’s every bit as deadly as any that has gone before.

Jack Ryan, Jr., and his colleagues at the Campus may be just the wild card that his father needs to stack the deck. There's just one problem: someone knows about the off-the-books intelligence agency and threatens to blow their cover sky high.

The interaction between Jack Jr., John Clark (much lesser roll in this book) and the Campus. There are other reviwers here for a deeper dive into the book. The audio version is abridged so this were left out which I think is good because some of these books gets a little lost in the details.

Intriguing cat and mouse with a Superpower that has dire consequences.

Lou Diamond Phillips is a good narrator, but his pronunciation on some of the weaponry breaks up the immersion of the story. This story is a solid book though, it's not surprising.

Narration needs some work.

This is such a good book. The suspense is immaculately described and the characters are flawed but likable. Tom Clancy was able to make our fantastic cyber threats come to life.

Gripping

Excellent Clancy book. Conflict with the Chinese in many domains is the book's theme--emphasis on Naval and cyber. I especially liked the cyber aspect but was disappointed that Clancy ignored the Army and Air Force. I know that he's a naval historian, but it appeared he never went joint. Plotting and conniving are classic Clancy. Ryan Sr., as POTUS, delivers a potent demarche to the Chinese premier that would never happen in 2016--I was whooping it up upon hearing that. It's good that I listened to the abbreviated version, otherwise, Clancy would describe many boring things, like how electrons run through ships or what kind of soup the Chinese had for dinner. Even at 9+ hours, it could have been distilled some more. Good story that should cause some Pentagon planners some thought.

Great Story

Another great book with lots of good accurate and/or believable detail. However, Lou Diamond Phillips has a lisp about half the time. That was very distracting. It's hard to rate him poorly because I really like the guy.

Another good book but read with a lisp

Lou Diamond Phillips does a great job and is very entertaining. Occasionally tries a little too hard to give characters different voices but I enjoy him as a reader.
The content is just like many other Jack Ryan books, if you tend to like them you will like this one as well.

Great story with attention to detail
