About this listen

A rogue nuclear Russian submarine is steaming toward the East Coast of the United States. For President Jack Ryan, memories of past events may seem stunningly vivid, but the dangers are terrifyingly real in the latest entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

US intelligence is reporting turmoil in the Russian navy. Their deadliest submarine, the Belgorod, has unexpectedly launched, and taken along with it a long list of questions. Who authorized the departure? What mission is it on? And, most disturbing of all, what weapons do the giant doors on the sub’s bow hide?

It's been four decades since a similar incident with the Soviet sub, Red October, ended happily, thanks to a young CIA analyst named Jack Ryan.

Now, President Jack Ryan finds himself with fleets of ships, squadrons of jets, and teams of SEALs at his command, but what he doesn’t have is insight into the plans of the Belgorod’s commander. It falls to a younger generation of Ryans to do the dangerous work that will reveal that information.

But there’s always a price to be paid. When the final moments tick away, will Jack Ryan have to choose between the safety of his country and the safety of his child?

Critic reviews

"Forty years after Tom Clancy’s genre defining debut novel, The Hunt for Red October, a new Russian submarine is moving west… Gripping and powerful, Act of Defiance is Andrews and Wilson at their best! A fitting tribute to the master. Tom Clancy would be proud."—Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Only the Dead

"Welcome back to Tom Clancy's world, where familiar and new characters untangle a conspiracy that threatens to light the world on fire. Andrews and Wilson pack in enough action for three books."—Larry Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Arctic Gambit

“I expected a lot from Navy veterans Andrews and Wilson—and they exceeded every expectation! Tom Clancy Act of Defiance is a remarkable tale of political intrigue and high-seas adventure. Jack Ryan and friends are in capable hands.”—Marc Cameron, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Command and Control

ok story, but definitely not Clancy

The John Clark story line was not even close to being consistent with previous works. it's pretty obvious the authors didn't even read the John Clark books.

A black fish & a battle bass rule the seas

Scott Brick’s narration brings in the characters roaring to life, filling each with appropriate measures of humility, hubris, warmth and coldness. I donned a fur-lined parka every time I put in my ear buds to listen just to ward off the chill from the Cold War going on in Poseidon’s living room. Another terrific chapter in the Jack Ryan series.

As no close to Clancy as you can get!!

LOVED this book! The writer totally nailed the story just like Clancy would have! Hollywood totally needs to bring back Harrison Ford and Ann Archer as Jack and Kathy Ryan… As I read these characters in this book, I could totally see them in my minds eye like the writer totally could too, as he peened their parts….

Well written story that is true to the art of Mr. Clancy and the pivotal actors that helped to make the Clancy thrillers such a hit on the big screen!!

Hats off to Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson!! Well done Gentlemen!!

One of the best Post Clancy books

The length of this one was much better. It provided time to properly develop the storyline and other characters and slowly build to the finality.

The only thing I want to see a bit MORE of is the post-finality wrap stuff. in recent years, this portion of the book has been very short and oftentimes what we readers want to see take place. I know it leaves you knowing what will take place but seeing/hearing it and the reactions we are waiting for would still be great.
