Description
Racing from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.-Mexico border, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Clancy delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is frighteningly close to reality.
Working behind the scenes for the CIA, ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore arrives at a rendezvous to take charge of a high-ranking Taliban captive and barely escapes with his life. Undaunted, Moore is relentless in his quest to find the terrorist cell responsible, but what he discovers leads him to a much darker conspiracy in an unexpected part of the globe...
After years of planning, the Taliban have come to terms with a vicious Mexican drug cartel and agreed to supply them with opium. For the cartel, the deal means money, power, and ultimate control of the drug trade. But for the Taliban, it is a long awaited opportunity: to exploit the cartels and bring the fire of the jihad to the hearts of the infidels, striking against the very heart of America.

5By wadenofSuper.Below average tale.
2By Hammer917Pretty thin connection to the Jack Ryan series.Amateurish
2By Longhorn5555Couldn’t finish.First I’ve read of Clancy.
1By RenelawI’m sorry, but it may be the last. The story was contrived, characters were flat (really introduced just to be killed and by mid story you figured that out). Oddly written with seemingly endless unnecessary descriptions of military equipment. I kept wondering if it was mostly written by the co-author so an elderly Clancy can still use his name to sell books. I’ll probably go back to give one of his books from his earlier years a chance, but if it’s like this one, I’m moving on.Against all Enemies
1By 06460Murder. Mayhem. No mystery. Not worth a skim.Against All Enemies
5By Roadrunner787Everyone should read this and then remember who our enemies are.Final Chapters
3By JCEDO65I thoroughly enjoyed the pace and story through the first three quarters of the book. The final chapters though felt rushed through and lacking content.Against all
4By Eddie.11GoodVery disappointing
2By graybeard56This was not the well-written, well-researched, well put-together book that one usually expects from Tom Clancey. Several times I thought about not reading any more, but kept reading, hoping in vain that it would improve. I will try to research better any future books by Clancey before investing in another.One of his best book
5By Zombie man2012This is one of the best books. It is different not reading of the same players but I find it refreshing at the same time.Against all enemies
5By Martin RosasThis was a very good read it only took me 5 days to read it on my iPhone. I was not dissatisfied at all recommend it highly all his books are well written and fast paced I will add this one I hardback to my collection with all the rest of his novels in my library!!!!Good, but....
3By USMCLawyerEntertaining, but lacked the Tom Clancy character and plot development that I am used to expecting from a Clancy novel. I still recommend the book, but warn readers to temper their expectations. Tom Clancy, where art thou..?Against All Enemies
5By Sdav406I've read all off the Clancy books. This one had a bit of a different style, but well worth reading. It will be needed to understand Moore in the following books. Forget all of the negative reviews and go for it.Against all enemies
4By HollysignAs usual Tom Clancy's style and " this could happen here" story telling keeps you on the edge. Great read.Excellent read
3By JL121765Great book, keeps you on the edge throughout.I own all of Clancy's books - wish I hadn't bought this one
1By Dawn and Derrell JamesAs good and deep as Clancy's earlier books were - even his studies in leadership series with gulf war generals - this is neither deep, nor well researched, nor worthy of being on my bookshelf. This was obviously not written by Clancy, and appears that his last novels only have his name in bold to get a paycheck. If you see a second name on ANY Clancy book, DO NOT BUY IT! What a shame...Against all enemies
4By Isaac RMXIt's like reading todays papers with global language expresions, as usual, Tom Clancy's work is very well resourced.Enjoyable But Not Clancy
3By DBM6858This was an enjoyable read, but I find it hard to believe that is sprang from Clancy's fingertips. At the end of a Clancy book, we know the main protagonist and quite a few other characters very well. At the end of this book, I barely knew Moore at all; he lacked texture and depth. It was also surprisingly bereft of technical detail, the stuff that made Clancy a legend in the world of espionage and military fiction. Finally, the author's descriptions of SEAL life, training and and operations were more like those of a starry-eyed kid than the respectful but matter-of-fact tones used by Clancy in the past. So all in all, this was a good book, it just wasn't a Clancy book. I'll read Dead or Alive soon enough, and hope that it's more in line with what I expect from a Clancy book.
