Publisher's Summary

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.

Comparing movies with original books

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.

Love Jack Ryan Stories

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

7/10

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

Great story poor quality audio

Really enjoyed the story. Well performed. Some issues with the audio, stopped for periods of time, sounded at times as if there were voices in the background. Would still recommend.

A good story, a rough

Tom Clancy provides an exciting and well written story as always, however the audio quality for this reading is average at best
