Description
A missing Chinese scientist, unexplained noises emanating from under the Arctic ice, and a possible mole in American intelligence are just some of the problems that plague President Jack Ryan in the latest entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Aboard an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean a sonar operator hears an unusual noise coming from the ocean floor. She can't isolate it and chalks the event up to an anomaly in a newly installed system.
Meanwhile, operatives with the Chinese Ministry of State Security are dealing with their own mystery--the disappearance of brilliant but eccentric scientist, Liu Wangshu. They're desperate to keep his crucial knowledge of aerospace and naval technology out of their rivals' hands.
Finding Liu is too great an opportunity for any intelligence service to pass up, but there's one more problem. A high-level Chinese mole, codenamed Surveyor, has managed to infiltrate American Intelligence. President Jack Ryan has only one choice: send John Clark and his Campus team deep into China to find an old graduate student of the professor's who may hold the key to his whereabouts. It's a dangerous gamble, but with John Clark holding the cards, Jack Ryan is all in.

4By cjfromdenverCan’t really say anything negative about this book - it does the job of putting you in the story and keeping you engaged. Loved the mother - daughter story and how it connected to the geopolitical landscape.Great read

5By BojonglesI enjoyed the moments of suspense given throughout this book. Tom Clancy does not disappoint!Too many characters
3By Ted GriggThe first half of the book lacked cohesion and a central storyline. Too many characters that made it difficult for the writer to develop them properly.Absorbing
5By mcddbyWas a quick enjoyable read.Lots of plots
5By EkomjyuThis story is excellent. It was several different stories going on at the same time but most come together at the end. Thanks for a good read !This excellent story continues!
5By BusamasterIt’s all about these characters that I feel I’ve known forever.Well Done and Fun

5By skypilot56aAn excellent read. Got my attention and kept it. Have not sat down with a book for a year. Was glad I did and will now read more from this author.Shadow of the Dragon
5By rob👿It was all I expected of the Clancy run it follows what Tom started I think these other writers follow his style well!Shadow of the Dragon
4By 986 driverI enjoy Marc Cameron’s interpretation of Clancy,min this book he does capture a good deal of that spirit. Typical of Clancy’s style the story has a good “hook” and it is complex. I was taken by the relationship that developed between John Clark and Hala the child, it was however a disappointment that it seemed to go nowhere. Lots of action but Cameron appears to write with a limit on the pages to fill, Clancy’s books were long but no loose ends. I still prefer Cameron’s Jack Ryan series including the Campus to the Jack Ryan Jr books.Well done
5By J x JLiked the storyGreat book!
5By Keith Sk.Fast paced action.Still some of the best military/intel fictions available
5By Mwynn2878Grateful for another Jack Ryan and Jr story. I don’t stay up reading all night like I did for some of Clancy originals but that’s because I’m older and not because Shadow was any less thrilling. Can’t wait for another. Thank you Marc.Larry’s review
3By LevittonianStory line is getting a bit old.Great read
5By Can'torI thought Clancy passed. This book is so much like Clancy’s style it’s like he never left us. Tech details like Tom would have liked.Time To Quit Miking Tom Clancy's Legacy
