Tom Clancy Shadow State

A Jack Ryan Jr. Novel, Book 12

By: M.P. Woodward

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Surviving a helicopter crash in the Vietnamese Highlands is only the start of the challenges facing Jack Ryan, Jr., in the latest propulsive thriller of this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

The vibrant economy of the new Vietnam is a shiny lure for Western capital. Companies are racing to uncover ideal opportunities. Not wanting to be left behind, Hendley Associates has sent their best analyst, Jack Ryan, Jr., to mine for investment gold. And he may have found some in a rare earth mining company—GeoTech.

But a trip with a Hendley colleague to the Highlands to observe the company’s operations takes a treacherous turn when their helicopter is shot down. Some things haven’t changed, and Vietnam is still the plaything of powerful neighbors. The Chinese are determined to keep Jack from finding the truth about what exactly is being processed at the isolated factory.

Now Jack is in a race for his life. He’s got to stay one step ahead of a pack of killers while supporting his wounded friend. He’ll get no help from the government, because in the jungle, it’s the shadow state that rules.

New Charater brought into the story

Loved it over all.....some of the lines led to listener to believe very smart and highly trained personnel were either under educated or poorly trained.

Good story line

Love Scott Brick he always makes the story come alive and a lot more interesting

The flow of action was constant and fit in with the story!!!

I loved it can’t wait for the next one!!! They seem to get better with each book.

Lots of action and good plot twists.

I always like Tom Clancy’s method of story telling. It keeps you involved and looking ahead to whatever comes next. And the Jack Ryan Jr. books also give a look into a young man’s trials and troubles learning to do right all the time even when you would rather not( and what can happen then?) glad i can still find this authors works posthumously.

Scott Brick is perfect for Tom Clancy books

This book was shorter than most Tom Clancy novels but decent. Scott Brick takes the narration to another level
