Although comparatively short on action and long on narrative, this is a provocative novel of espionage and terrorism. In typical Tom Clancy style, the heroes prevail, but this time justice is done outside the law by a secretly financed vigilante agency. The main character is Jack Ryan, Jr., with generously sprinkled references to his father's adventures in prior Clancy stories. Stephen Hoye's understated yet masculine voice is well suited to the novel, especially given Jack, Jr.'s, major role. But accents are not Hoye's strong suit; the Hispanic and British characters would have been better portrayed with subtlety. Another minor complaint: This complicated story requires slightly longer pauses between scenes. N.M.C. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine - AudioFile Reviews : AudioFile Reviews 2005 April/May
Tom Clancy continues the saga of Jack Ryan, except that Ryan doesn't actually show up in the story. He's mentioned only as part of the background. Instead his son, Jack, Jr., takes center stage. Junior and two of his cousins work in deep cover for "The Campus," an organization that studies the electronic traffic of terrorists and then avenges their actions. Our heroes go after a terrorist cell, using the strategy of cutting off the head and letting the body die. Stephen Lang joins the ranks of readers such as Paul Michael and Scott Brick, whose styles are young, fluid, and well chosen for the thriller genre. D.R.W.

Jack Ryan Jr., the son of the U.S. president, jumps into his father's footsteps in Clancy's newest thriller. A privately funded vigilante organization recruits Jack and his twin cousins to smoke out terrorists. In a series of action-packed sequences, the three young men use their considerable talents and any means possible to outplot the bad guys and save the country. Reader Hoye ably contrasts the cousins' earnest idealism with the veterans' more world-weary tones. His clipped delivery keeps the action brisk and the plot moving on all cylinders. Sure to be popular with Clancy fans. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
