About this listen

The stakes are sky-high when a power-mad Chinese president threatens Taiwan in the #1 New York Times bestselling Jack Ryan series.

For decades, Taiwan has been a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. An independent nation to the rest of the world, it is considered a rogue province by the PRC. Previous governments have tried to conquer the island using economic force and diplomatic pressure, but new Chinese President Li Jian Jun is done fooling around. He’s devised a secret military operation to take the island. Only one man knows how to stop Li’s mad and bloody plan for reunification and that’s Minister of Defense Qin Haiyu. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Qin covertly makes contact with the CIA in Beijing and signals his desire to defect to the West.

To get Qin out, John Clark creates an international task force reminiscent of Rainbow Six and goes undercover in mainland China. Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Katie Ryan is deployed to the tip of the spear on the destroyer USS Jason Dunham to defend Taiwan. Threatened by an encircling Chinese armada, she’s under pressure to find a flaw in the invaders’ plan for her father to exploit.

For his part, President Jack Ryan may have the power of the entire US military at his disposal, but what he really needs are Li’s secret plans from Defense Minister Qin so he can stave off a war. Because America’s Defense Protocol could lead to a game of mutual destruction that could cost the lives of thousands of young soldiers, sailors, special operators as well as his daughter.

I have really enjoyed Andrew’s & Wilson’s 2nd book with these characters. Katie’s continued development is great, and I am now just as invested in her as JR. My favorite part of this is the Rainbow version two introduction. I hope in the future we get to see this new version get some new life. I always appreciate that these authors know there military and keep it close to real world scenarios. I really enjoyed this book, I never lost interest at any point. I really appreciated that these authors story flowed so smoothly. I never felt like I needed to jump because things slowed down. The pace kept up and I did not feel like I was lacking information or that they jumped ahead without laying the ground work.

Thank you Andrew’s & Wilson for being such great stewards of these characters and the legacy of this story line!

Great Read during the holiday season Action & Suspense on the world stage.

This his one of the most thrilling Jack Ryan stories yet. The inclusion of his daughter fits into the storyline well. And, of course Scott Brick never disappoints.

One of the best Jack Ryan stories

For the last few years, the Jack Ryan stories have gotten somewhat route and less imaginative. This was a great fresh story that had well developed characters and maintain the excitement throughout. 6 stars.

One of the best stories in a long time.

I liked the book a lot. When will the next book be published? The Oregon should have been the ship to rescue them.

The Presidents thought process.

Andrews & Wilson did a great job continuing their Military Thriller abilities. Great fast pace novel with lots of twist and turns and multiple story lines.

My only complain it the narrator....Brick sounds too much like a radio announcer or cheesy movie trailer voice. I stuck with it BUT was so tempted to stop/return during the first couple of hours due to Brick. I will not purchase another book with him as the narrator. For audio books that's what really makes or breaks it.

Pretty Good, EXCEPT Narrator...

I’ve not read a lot of Jack Ryan books however I have seen the movies. This book felt right on target with the characters, but remained true to A&W. The only thing this book was missing was Tier 1, and Embers. If only there was a way to do a crossover it would’ve made this a 10 out of 10!

Outstanding

Twists and turns that keeps you wanting more and definitely not predictable. Great weaving of solid storylines into a great story.

Great storyline

Well written book which reads like an original Tom Clancy book of the 70s and 80s. Like how the story brings the next new hero into the light.

Old school Tom Clancy
