Fiction. Literature. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:This electrifying thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series has President Jack Ryan and his allies facing a treacherous foe threatening to unleash chaos around the globe...

When Russian President Valeri Volodinâ??s ambitions are foiled in Dagestan, he faces a difficult choice. The oligarchs who support him expect a constant flow of graft, but with energy prices cratering, the Russian economy sputters to a virtual halt. Unable to grow the Russian market at home, his hold on power relies on expansion abroadâ??a plan that has been thwarted by the United States in the past.

But this time Volodin has determined that an indirect approach is the best. A floating natural gas facility in Lithuania is blown up. A Venezuelan prosecutor is assassinated. A devastating attack on a Russian troop train kills dozens. A chaotic world is the best camouflage for a series of seemingly unrelated attacks.

Only one man recognizes an ominous pattern in the reports of terror from around the globe. U.S. President Jack Ryan sees a guiding hand in the worldwide chaos, but before he can act he needs proof.

While his intelligence agencies race to uncover the truth behind the attacks, the President struggles to unite a fractious and distrustful coalition of Western nations against the schemes of the Russian dictator.

With five thousand Russian troops poised to invade a NATO nation, can Jack Ryan move swiftly enough to stop Volodinâ??s grand plan of global conflict and conquest? Or will he succeed in changing the balance of world power

Good Read . Perhaps a little less detail would be better at least for me. ( )

A pesar de que ya no las escribe Tom Clancy, ésta me ha gustado mucho. Se ve el estilo de Mr. C y la historia (las historias, pues son varias líneas de acción en paralelo que a veces convergen) está bien llevada y bien contada. El final es abierto, por supuesto, para dar paso a una nueva novela. Las últimas novelas del Campus eran malas, pero esta ha aguantado y ha conseguido lo que espero de ella: un rato de entretenimiento. ( )

I reviewed the last "Tom Clancy" book, "Full Force and Effect" in 2015, just a few months after it was released. That means there are a little over three years of books to read. The next one is the awesome Commander in Chief. I'm 52 years old, and you know something that sucks? In the past when books go back 20 or 30 years for back story, lots of time it was when I was very young, or not even born. Now, 20 to 30 years ago - I was an adult! That's unsettling. Another thing I found out about myself that I didn't know: I do not enjoy military fiction. When the warfare of battle ships, submarines, ground troops, etc is written about I find it confusing and not enjoyable. I enjoyed the classic Clancy characters moments, Ryan Jr, Ryan Sr, Clark, Chavez, etc. I'm feeling good about the next four reads: Duty and Honor by Grant Blackwood, 21; True Faith and Allegiance by Mark Greaney, 22, Point of Contact by Mike Maden, 23; and Power and Empire, 24 by Marc Cameron

This work is unique in my experience. The author, a worthy successor to Mr. Clancy, cleverly inserted the plots for two books in the early pages. He then totally ignored one except for one mention near the end. The plot of the tale he chooses to tell is a tad on the high end but, nevertheless, it is still very readable and enjoyable. With all the Jack Ryan stories that have been written, the world of possibilities has shrunk considerably. Mr. Greaney does introduce one new weapon that I had seen anywhere prior. It would be interesting to know if such a weapon, or rather tool, really exists. ( )

It's just sleazy to publish a book one year after Clancy's death and claim that it's his book. this thriller was actually ripped from the headlines as it was written about the time that Russia invaded Crimea; in this case, the Russians are in the Baltic states--another traditional Russian territorial concern. The politics is spot-on for the NATO allies--wimpy, wimpy. One could only hope that Jack Ryan, Sr would have been in the White House instead of the community organizer there now...results might have been different in the Crimea. Further, it's Clancy/Greaney believe that the US military is only inhabited by naval forces. All that said, the book was exciting and at the tactical level, it's a fun listen with familiar characters. Greaney researched many facets of global life to write this book. It completes my reads in the Jack Ryan universe. ( )
