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.

Could we lose the Tom Clancy banner ?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Good story. A little disjointed at times.

Would you recommend Tom Clancy Under Fire to your friends? Why or why not?

This was NOT Tom Clancy. He's been dead for 5 years. Let Mr. Blackwood's story stand on its own!!!!

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Narration was good.

Was Tom Clancy Under Fire worth the listening time?

Yes, but remember, it is NOT Tom Clancy.

Any additional comments?

It's a shame the Clancy Foundation ? ( whatever) needs to keep attaching his name to these novels. He didn't write this, collaborate on it or have anything to do with it.
I for one will no longer purchase any NEW books with Clancy's name on them

A little too super Jack

Well performed but Jack and Dom seemed to be able to travel many miles in moments and take on trained troops and sink a boat with 2 assault riffles and a gas.

Still a fair listen

Clearly not written by Tom Clancy, but still good

Much better narration than the previous book. However, other than the same character names, the character traits are not the same as the other Jack Ryan series books.

Ok

I found the book somewhat difficult to follow and liking that "it" factor. Not sure I would recommend. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either.

Not What I Expected!

Don't get me wrong I think Grant Blackwood is a good author but with Scott Brick as narrator this book took a nose dive for me personally.

Probably the most underwhelming Jack Ryan book.

I wasn't impressed by this book, I've read every other book in the series leading up to this and thoroughly enjoyed them all, with the possible exception of Locked on.


Locked on was still much better than Under Fire though.

I would only recommend if you are reading the entire series.
