About this listen

CIA analyst Jack Ryan, historian and former Marine, is vacationing in London with his wife and young daughter. Suddenly, right before his eyes, a terrorist group launches its deadly attack. Instinctively, Jack dives forward to intervene. By his impulsive act, he gains both the gratitude of a nation and the enmity of its most dangerous men who will not sit on their hate. In an explosive wave of violence, Jack's new enemies will seek to make him pay for his act of salvation...with his life.

I can remember much of the story as I visualise the scenes from the movie. I realise that movie makers have a license to change the original story but this one diverges quite a bit from the movie. "Reading" it again with Audible caused me to wonder if I had actually read the book before, but by the end I was confidant that I had.

Wasn’t as action packed as Hunt for the Red October but still a good listen.

I have actually read this before, at least twice. Last time was about 15 years ago but I am surprised how little I remembered. Tom was such a skillful novelist it still kept me gripped from start to finish.

Outstanding writing

A believable thriller and using the politics of the day entwining throughout the story that had me on the edge of my seat all the way through

Absolutely fantastic

Excellent story. Felt the performance didn't do it justice though. Age well, considering when the story was written.
