About this listen

The US President, along with most of the Cabinet and Congress, is dead. Dazed and confused, the man who only minutes before had been confirmed as the new Vice-President of the United States is told that he is now President.

President John Patrick Ryan.

With stunning force, Ryan's responsibilities crush on him. He must calm an anxious and grieving nation, all while attempting to reconstitute a Cabinet and a Congress with the greatest possible speed.

But that is not all. Both within Washington DC and across the globe, there are those eager to act on the animosity towards the United States and others from Jack Ryan's past that harbour a grudge towards the new President himself. Soon they will present Jack Ryan with a crisis so big even he cannot imagine it.

Critic Reviews

"His plotting here is masterful, as is his strumming of patriotic heartstrings. This is heavyweight entertainment." ( Publishers Weekly, Starred Review)
"Vintage Clancy ... The conclusion features the most harrowing battlefield prose Clancy has written since Red Storm Rising." ( Bookpage)

I read all the Clancy, Jack Ryan series in proper form many years ago. I decided to give the audio version ago as my eyesight isn't as good now. while I think I preferred actually reading, this audio option is very good. Tom.Clancy's storyline and attention to detail is excellent.

Second time reading - Still great 👍

Great book. Tom Clancy never disappoints. Here he provides a blueprint for governments on how to handle an outbreak of a deadly virus with no cure. If only future presidents could be bothered to read it. Plenty of action and intrigue thrown in and this is an all time top 5 for me.

If only.

You can tell it is fiction by the way certain people immediately reacted to a viral outbreak.

Life does not imitate art here

Great book. Love listening to Clancy if there were a few more time based predictions of future events people would think he is the modern Nostradamus

Pritchard is back!!! Really makes up for the forgettable narration of the previous two books

Amazing! Especially right now

Clancy is so well researched that his writing makes you feel you are living an alternate life. He is so technical but doesn't overwhelm with terminology and explains acronyms and procedures and processes without detracting from the suspense of the story.

Clancy is solid

Excellent story, but as a female, I found all the extended battle talk did drag on a little . Good book to read in these uncertain times 2021😭

I read a few of The Clancy books over the past couple of decades and loved them. That was when I was working the long hours and fitting reading in when I could. Now with eyesight gone and a lot more time on my hands I’m going through the Audio series and loving them. Executive Orders of course has its slow moments but boy oh boy Clancy certainly knows how to put it all together for an absolute CLIMATIC FINALE. The last 10 hours I could hardly drag myself away from the book. Also nobody could outdo Michael Pritchards brilliant narration. I’m hooked and don’t think a month will pass without my listening to a Tom Clancy Epic.

Tom Clancy magic but let down by the narration which had numerous places where there were jerky transitions, fluctuating volume levels and many strange pronunciations.

Great story well written
