Publisher's Summary
Decades ago, when he was a young CIA analyst, President Jack Ryan, Sr. was sent on what was supposed to be a simple support mission to investigate the death of an operative looking into the suspicious banking activities at a Swiss bank. Ryan’s dogged tenacity uncovered not only financial deceit, but also the existence of a KGB assassin code-named Zenith.
He was never able to find the killer.But in the shadowy world of covert operations, nothing stays hidden forever.In the present, a new strong man has emerged in the ever-chaotic Russian republic the enigmatic President Valeri Volodin. His rise to power was meteoric, but shrouded in deception and treachery.
The foundations of his personal empire are built on a bloody secret from his past, and he will eliminate anyone who comes close to that truth. For he has set in motion a plot to return Russia to its former glory and might with the rest of the world once again trembling in fear of the mighty Bear.When an old friend of the Ryans is poisoned by a radioactive agent, the trail leads to Russia. And Jack Ryan, Jr. aided by his compatriots John Clark and the covert warriors of the secretive Campus must delve into an international conflict thirty years in the making, and finish what his father started.
With President Ryan fighting a desperate campaign to thwart Russian aggression, and his son fighting a silent war against a ruthless foe, the chances for global conflict grow greater ? and the possibility of survival may soon be lost for all...

Russia vs Ukraine…Tom Clancy gets it right
Interesting story and like the switch between last and present. So many similarities between the story and what is going on now as Russia invades Ukraine. Narrator is generally good but British accents are appalling…distractingly and laughably bad.

Great story made better by Lou Diamond Phillips
I'm loving the Jack Ryan series, but Lou Diamond Phillips' narration makes this feel like a movie every time I turn the audiobook on. A great shame the narrator changed in the next book.

Enjoyable to listen too
Many twists and turns in this story.
I liked the way the events of the past with Jack Ryan senior were woven with present life ‘of Jack Jr.

Another Clancy classic
What is there to say? So intricate, so well put together. A seamless and brilliant storyline that is uniquely Tom Clancy, brilliantly performed by the reader. I now have all the Tom Clancy books and several of the Jack Ryan universe... all great stuff!
