LDP is great at reading novels. the book itself is ok but just lacks the thrill of his earlier stories

Normal Great Clancy Page Turner

Great story. Lou Diamond Phillips great narrator. Exceptional character development of Ryan & son. Another reason I'm listening to the entire series.

Solid & Enjoyable Thriller and Jack Ryan Additio

On audiobook version, I had difficulty keeping Jack senior straight from Jack JR. Never for long but I do hate being pulled out of a thriller for even a few moments. I like the contrast between the two men. I'm ready for the two Jack's to split the storylines and let Junior explore a romantic interest (a tiny bit) so he has a rounded life outside the adventure side.

really enjoyed listening to last 4 books

Really enjoyed listening to Lou Diamond Phillips read these last 4 books. While MarkGreaney is a pretty good writer, this isn't Tom Clancy. Still not bad but made better with excellent narration.

Mark Greaney Has learned from the master!

Lou Diamond Phillips is a FANTASTIC reader! even better than his acting WOW! he brings the story to life!

Mark Greaney has become every bit as good as Clancy was. (See the Gray Man books to prove it)

Great job, I look forward to more from this story line with Greaney writing to the standards of Clancy!
