Line of Sight
2By sdghkkbcgvDidn’t expect a travel guide book for most of this reading. When it finally got to the action/adventure part it was forced and unbelievable. Writing is a poor substitute for Tom Clancy.Story lines have lost their way
3By Princess8081Read too much like a romance novel wrapped in a tour guild brochure. Miss the old team working together. Now the last few books have been Superman Jack Jr. with the rest of the campus sitting on the bench.Probably the worst of the Tom Clancy series
1By adammmmmmmmNot worth the read.DD
5By Jaded1209ReB.B. xxletdfyrdddtdtttttdtttfdtgfgzttgccyddxtHard to believe...
4By Rbarr44That Jack Jr. could be so dense! A great story other than that, and I was thrilled that it was so localized to a territory troubled for so long. Jack Jr. needs a strong woman to keep him centered; so he can keep his mind on the business at hand - maybe Adara is the one?!?Line of sight
5By maine 17Non-stop action and intrigue. Complex plot twists and complicated characters. A great read.Interesting history but Maden pans to middle age men
2By BDBLYNHis Jack Jr. character is supposed to be young but has the internal sentiments of a man who’s sperm count doesn’t match his unrealistic sense of his sexual vitality... that said I enjoyed the balkans history and food reviews. More of this and less of the BS... The other characters left something to be desired - development was pretty poor - bad guys not very believable or particularly frightening. The idea that idiot cousin could successfully shoot down an airliner was a real eye roller - even in the “anything’s possible” world of fiction. The Turkish angle could have been better developed given historical context and current affairs. I found it odd that the Russians, as a side plot, far more terrifying... not exactly what you would want here... I get that they were a plot decoy but maybe should have toned them down slightly.Point of contact
4By rjdmdClancy character but not Clancy. Still a great read.Line of Sight
1By GPSDOPlot development was painfully slow with only snippets of Tom Clancy-like action. Character development was ragged. Overall, a poor read relative to other efforts in the Clancy-Ryan genre by this author.Line of sight
5By WccguyGreat book. Well done in the Clancy traditionNot so great...
3By AAPL FreakAs a Clancy fan, this was a major disappointment. Extremely slow. Way too much focus on the history and environment; hey Maden, we get it, you traveled to Bosnia and liked it. But seriously it was overkill and lost me. Also, whoever edited this book should be questioned. How many times did he write “iWatch”?! Seriously?! It’s 2018 and the “Apple Watch” has been out for years! One time I can understand, but throughout the book was embarrassing. Overall, I have read Maden’s other Ryan book and was also disappointed. I wish they would find another author. So far Mark Greaney is by far the best shadow author.TD Global
4By TdglobalconsultingOverall the story line took to long to develop. If I wanted s history book, I would go back to graduate school!Not Clancy
1By IcemanTXNot even close.Tom Clancy has been dead for 5 years
1By mjg45123Don’t botherTom Clancy Line of Sight
1By LJF TNDisappointingAnother riveting Tom Clancy novel
5By HaloDocLike all Tom Clancy novels, you will not be disappointed by this novel. The novel grips you as soon as you pick it up. You learn very quickly that you have no idea who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. If you decide to read this book you had better have some good alibis as to why you did not show up for work. Once you begin this novel, you will be unable to put it down until you complete it!Too much exposition
3By FritzBoMoe... not enough action. I almost didn’t finish this one because I was bored.Slow, Dry and Boring
2By Jim Cerone The Perfect HostApologies to the author, but if I wanted a history lesson, I’d read non-fiction. Slow, dry and boring.Wasted time
1By BejjimSo a novel about Jack Ryan chasing after a woman, being an idiot and then saving the day. This was a pathetic extension of a great storyline.
