Suspense 3.5* This 13th book of the Jack Ryan series is the first one Clancy co-wrote with another author and I felt that I could detect a slight difference in the prose. While Clancy never had Jack (or other characters) hide their political and/or ethical beliefs, in this book they came across a bit more pontifical. The action was still gripping though! Most of the action in this book centers around Jack Jr. & his work at the Campus. While I had read the previous book that started this plot line, it was years ago so I was struck by the appearance of the 2 Caruso brothers twins who are Jack Jr.'s first cousins - I hadn't remembered there being extended family. Lou Diamond Phillips does an excellent job narrating. Cuando la CIA no puede responder a la amenaza del terrorismo internacional entra en juego el Campus, una organización secreta creada por el ex presidente Jack Ryan que cuenta con sus propios fondos. Su principal objetivo es el Emir, el cerebro del 11-S, que se dispone a realizar nuevos atentados en territorio norteamericano. Mientras los agentes del Campus intentan descubrir su paradero, Jack Ryan decide abandonar su retiro para luchar por la presidencia del país.
this latest book, like the most interesting of Clancy's work, has a tendency to both pander to popular fantasy (in this case, revenge) and, simultaneously, to play against it with hard-headed insights into the real world of military and intelligence operations. It's a fruitful tension that lends his books a quirky, appealing unpredictability that sometimes can survive even the author's eye-rolling politics.
