About this listen

JACK RYAN IS TRAPPED. AN ASSASSIN INCOMING. TIME TO TAKE CONTROL.

A Russian plot to seize the Panama Canal plunges President Jack Ryan into a desperate fight for his life in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

President Jack Ryan travels to Colombia to support the president who is facing a challenge from autocratic forces. What seems like an ordinary opportunity to preach the values of democracy quickly turns into a nightmare when a full-blown military coup erupts.

President Ryan and his Secret Service team are cut off and out of communication. In Washington, the Vice President is coordinating a military response, but there's still one more obstacle.

One of the main forces behind the coup is the ruthless criminal organization known as the Camarilla. They've had their tentacles deep inside the plot to overthrow the government. And now they have an unexpected opportunity they can't resist - the chance to kill President Jack Ryan.

This book ties up Marc Cameron's Red Winter and brings us to the present day. The campus had expanded with 2 new rookies. Adam Yao is running a CIA op in Columbia when a plot to assinate the Panamanian President and Vice President is uncovered. It coincides with a low-key visit by President Ryan and his Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Folley. Will they survive? Marc does a fantastic job as always keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Look, Cameron is no Tom Clancy, but he does a better job than most of the other ghost writers since his passing. (Mark Greaney excepted -still miss him from the Ryanverse but live Sierra Six!!)

Not quite as kitch as the JR jnr writers and pulls a lot of the pieces together nicely, but the dialog is still a little “Mills and Boon for blokes”

All said, still worth a listen.

Good pace and works all the storylines together well.

"I was captivated by the thrilling storyline filled with an array of formidable villains posing a relentless threat to the USA, Jack Ryan Senior, the CIA, and the dedicated members of the Campus. The introduction of new recruits into the Campus added an exciting dynamic, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next novel in the series. A special commendation goes to Scott Brick for his exceptional narration, immersing listeners in the story with a skillful and commendable performance. Well done indeed!"

The plot never disappoints!

Tom Clancy’s Command and Control continues the high-stakes tradition of the franchise, delivering a story packed with geopolitical tension, advanced military strategy, and relentless action. This installment focuses on the delicate balance between leadership, technological supremacy, and the human element of modern warfare.

The narrative follows a multinational task force embroiled in a race to prevent a rogue state from deploying a devastating bioweapon. The stakes are sky-high, and the plot intertwines multiple subplots featuring cyber sabotage, battlefield tactics, and political maneuvering.

Strengths:
Complex Plot: The story offers a multilayered narrative that feels relevant to contemporary global threats. The interplay between different factions—military, intelligence, and political—is well-crafted.
Authenticity: True to Clancy’s style, the attention to detail in depicting military technology, operations, and chain-of-command dynamics is top-notch. Readers with a penchant for realism will appreciate the meticulous research.
Dynamic Characters: Protagonists and antagonists alike are given depth, with personal dilemmas and motivations that elevate the tension.

Weaknesses:
Heavy Jargon: The use of technical and military terminology, while adding realism, may feel overwhelming for casual readers unfamiliar with the genre.
Sluggish Middle Act: The second act dips slightly in pacing as the story sets up its climactic resolution, which may test the patience of readers looking for constant action.

Overall Impression:
Command and Control is a satisfying addition to the Tom Clancy universe, blending technological intrigue with the human drama of command decisions. Though it may lean heavily on technical details and slow moments, the payoff is a well-executed finale that underscores the fragility of control in a complex world.

My Review Tom Clancy’s Command and Control

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This has to be one of worst books I have ever read. Boring, no substance and totally unprofessional writing. Why would audible sell this?. Guess this is why it was on sale for $5.
Not a good look for audible 🤬
