Description
Jack Ryan, Jr. is out to avenge the murder of an old friend, but the vein of evil he's tapped into may run too deep for him to handle in the latest electric entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
While on vacation in Barcelona, Jack Ryan, Jr. is surprised to run into an old friend at a small café. A first, Renee Moore seems surprised to see Jack, but then she just seems irritated and distracted. After making plans to meet later, Jack leaves, only to miss the opportunity to ever speak to Renee again, as the café is destroyed minutes later by a suicide bomber. A desperate Jack plunges back into the ruins to save his friend, but it's too late. As she dies in his arms, she utters one word, "Sammler."
When the police show up they are initially suspicious of Jack until they are called off by a member of the Spanish Intelligence Service. This mysterious sequence of events sends the young Campus operative on an unrelenting search to find out the reason behind Renee's death. Along the way, he discovers that his old friend had secrets of her own—and some of them may have gotten her killed.
Jack has never backed down from a challenge, but some prey may be too big for one man.
Reviews
Firing point
5By jacobhillGreat, as usual.Good, fast read
4By yallcomebacknowA page turnerTerrible
1By ElMooon42Worthless ghost writing all over the place. No more for me.Not a worthy successor…
4By A is epicProbably the worst I have read in an otherwise decent series. Hopefully he won’t be writing another.Lazy writing
2By bigkjbFar to much ‘filler’ that distracted from the story. Why do writers fill books with all this useless information about streets and neighborhoods that have nothing to do with the plot. Never saw this when Ludlum and Clancy were still alive and writing.Energy ridden explosive read
5By Philip & AnitaWhen a book presents a realistic premise the reader sits up and pays attention. This novel by Mike Madsen is an excellent example of that kind of book. It’s a shame he won’t be continuing with the series. He was outstanding at it. This is a magnificent book.Firing Point
4By JPB 9871A good read and a nice thriller.Firing point
3By Lmr760Too many plot threads going on. Some of the language was unnecessarily vulgar and trite.Done
1By BluebllsThe first time I’ve ever disliked a Tom Clancy novel. The last two or three books seem to have the same predictable formula. I stopped reading a little more than halfway through. I’m done.You Never Really Know the Bad Guys
5By LakewacoJuniors on vacation until it all blows up. Then it gets nasty and moves across the globe. Never know what might come next. Even the good guys aren’t always the good guys. Jack’s Techie friend saves the day.
