About this listen

On a routine intelligence gathering mission in Tehran, Jack Ryan, Jr., has lunch with his oldest friend, Seth Gregory, an engineer overseeing a transcontinental railway project. As they part, Seth gives Jack a key, along with a perplexing message.

The next day Jack is summoned to an apartment where two men claim Seth has disappeared—gone to ground with funds for a vital intelligence operation. Jack’s oldest friend has turned, they insist.

They leave Jack with a warning: If you hear from Seth Gregory, call us immediately. And do not get involved.

But they don’t know Jack. He won’t abandon a friend in need.

His pursuit of the truth will lead him across Iran, through the war-torn Caucasus, and finally deep into territory coveted by the increasingly aggressive Russian Federation. Along the way, Jack is joined by Seth’s primary agent, Ysabel, a enigmatic Iranian woman who seems to be his only clue to Seth’s whereabouts.

Jack soon finds himself lost in a maze of intrigue, lies, and betrayal where no one is who they seem to be—not even Seth, who’s harboring a secret of his own that harkens back to the Cold War. A secret that is driving him to the brink of treachery.

Racing against the clock, Jack must unravel the mystery: Who is friend and who is foe? Before it’s over, Jack Ryan, Jr., may have to choose between his loyalty to Seth and his loyalty to America.

The narrator is awful

The story is fine, if a bit straight down the fairway. The narrator does this book no favors.

A step down from the last few novels...

2 steps down from the books written by Clancy himself. A good concept, but a few too many leaps in the story line. Connections made by the characters that no one would actually make without more information. Original Clancy novels didn't do this. It seems to be more common, the further out we get from his passing. It takes away from the story in a significant way for me.

Scott Brick is excellent, as he has always been in the books I have heard that he has narrated.

... Still Entertaining

This is not the best Jack Ryan Jr. book out there, but it's still very entertaining and a bit more low key on the technical stuff which was liberating.

Scott Brick's performance lifted the book up to cover it's minor storytelling flaws.

A typical Jack Ryan classic, but...

Jack Ryan Jr. is way too sappy and emotional in all the wrong places in this story. His “attachment” to Isabel becomes more and more stupid and sappy NOT the “loving protector” the story seems to be attempting to portray.
However, I’ve read/listened to the book about 4 times and I’ll read/listen again (I read the whole series each time a new book comes out or when I want conspiracies!). Ignoring the sappy sections, the story is good!! Another great “Clancy” starring the Ryan clan!

Great Clancy Follow on.

The ending was a little abrupt, not as clean as would like. But a very riveting story.

It’s not the best

I’ve read every installment in the Jack Ryan universe. I love the series and the world building done here. The story in this book is unfortunately forgettable. If your going to miss one this would be the one to miss imo.

Glad to see story line continue but...

I am happy to see the continuation of the story line But I also can see a huge difference in Greaney vs. Blackwood. Greaney I feel gives the characters that are more consistent with their continual development. Blackwood I feel his characters stray from...well... Character. I will read them to continue the timeline but I really just look forward to the Greaney releases now.
