Could have been more tightly written. Somehow these verbiage seemed to be pumped up rather than carefully focused. My guess is a well directed editor could have culled 25% of the pages and created a taut thriller!

Super.

Pretty thin connection to the Jack Ryan series.

Couldn’t finish.

I’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.

Murder. Mayhem. No mystery. Not worth a skim.

Everyone should read this and then remember who our enemies are.

I thoroughly enjoyed the pace and story through the first three quarters of the book. The final chapters though felt rushed through and lacking content.

Good

This 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.

This is one of the best books. It is different not reading of the same players but I find it refreshing at the same time.

This 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!!!!

Entertaining, 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..?

I'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.

As usual Tom Clancy's style and " this could happen here" story telling keeps you on the edge. Great read.

Great book, keeps you on the edge throughout.

As 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...

It's like reading todays papers with global language expresions, as usual, Tom Clancy's work is very well resourced.
