Marine officer. CIA analyst. President. Jack Ryan has devoted his life to protecting the United States. What if this time, he can't? President Ryan and the Campus return in this entry in Tom Clancy's number-one New York Times best-selling series.

Freedom may have finally arrived in Iran. As protests break out across the country, the media rejoices over the so-called Persian Spring. Western leaders are ecstatic. Members of Congress and the Cabinet clamor to back the rebels. Only President Jack Ryan remains wary.

Meanwhile, he has plenty to handle at home. A deadly strain of flu is ravaging the United States as spring floods decimate the Southeast. An unethical senator wants to bring down the Ryan presidency and is willing to lean on fabricated bot-planted stories to do it.

But the scariest story is the most closely guarded one. Two Russian nuclear missiles have been hijacked. The Campus gets their first break when Jack Junior connects with a rogue Russian intelligence officer in Afghanistan - only to be abducted soon after arriving. John Clark and the rest of the Campus team race to track the missiles and rescue their colleague.

As sensationalized stories spin out of control and the stolen missiles remain out of reach, President Ryan's toughest challenge emerges: How do you meet an enemy head on, when he won't even show you his face?

The first since Clancy to read like a Clancy novel

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

For a few years, I kept buying and reading the novels out of habit, keeping up with the characters but always feeling let down by plot and characterizations. That was until I read this one. Cameron captured the key players very well, handled minor players and cameo appearances with skill not seen since Tom Clancy was doing the writing, and finally coming up with and executing a plot that had enough intricacy to be worthy of Clancy. Welcome back.

Loved It

I won't give you the plot since you can read that elsewhere. I loved this book and I think it's the best Marc Cameron book in the Clancy series. A case can be made that it's the best non Tom Clancy book in any of the series.
For the first time, I liked this Clancy representation as much as Cameron's wonderful Jericho Quinn books. Thankfully, he is a prolific writer and we get Jack Jr., Jericho, and a new character I'm looking forward to meeting.
For a great story, read this book.

Very dissappointing

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Very dissappointing. I stopped reading when I realized that I am at the midpoint of the book and still do not know the main story. The prose is full of cliches that are repeated much too often. A great number of irrelevant details are mentioned about each character and location—mentioned once and never appear again. We are told how tall each person is and how old he or she is, as if this were a medical insurance claim, and then no other reference is given to the age or height of the person. Why was it mentioned? Despite these details it is impossible to visualize or temember anything about the people in the book. There is no cohesion to the events. If a thousand students (or computers) were assaigned to write an episode each, the result would read like this novel. I should not even call it a novel: it is a steady stream of scenes with a great many names of people, streets, and organizations, and no plot that I could explain even though I have read half of the book.

Complex challenges of the US Presidency

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

"...Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense..." (location 6141 on Kindle). Cameron continues with these attributes, offering perspective on what today's President experiences daily. I am glad that the cast of good people remains familiar, because new characters hail from many countries and backgrounds, varying from very evil to ethical. The various plots give equal opportunity to women, some who die and some who prevail. Jack Ryan the younger shows more maturity, guided by John Clark. The team spreads itself very thin, depleted by injuries as well. I spent more time than usual thinking about the connections and time lines in search of a logical path to the end of the story. Much that happens for President Jack Ryan can be illogical and nonlinear until details can be sorted by trusted staff and colleagues. Loose ends happen, waiting for another day or another novel. In addition, an angry opponent (Chadwick in this story) promises defiance and non-collaboration, challenging the best of ethical and social skills of the President. Yes - exceptional realism and authenticity portray a scary world out there.

Oath of Office

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

The interwoven subplots, the pacing and the way the story slowly comes together and leads up to a tense, suspenseful fourth quarte, this book actually felt like Clancy himself could have written it. But Cameron does it in half the length. The book actually would have benefited if the subplots with the senator, the stand-off in Cameroon, and a few others were given more attention, but better to have too little than risk having too much going on and dragging the book out. Cameron is definitely a great choice to continue the Clancy novels, and he even surpasses Mark Greaney's later installments. Cameron's prose is even reminiscent of Clancy's writing, and he has a solid grasp of the characters and incorporates excellent research into the story. This is the best Clancy book since "Locked On" or "Threat Vector" and one of the best thrillers of 2018. If you're one of those readers who felt like the series has become tired and trite, do yourself a favor and read this one.

Getting too complicated

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

I’ve loved the Jack Ryan books and even watched the Amazon TV show. But this is too cute with too many subplots which are meaningless.And of course it ends as though the writer wanted to get on with another book. I could have made the ending so much more vibrant and exciting, but this ended with a DUD. Let’s get back to the Clancy we all loved in Hunt for the Red October and Patriot Games. Complicated single plots with very little sub action.

Clancy is dead...:-(

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Anything w/Jack Ryan I like and I appreciated that about this book. I also like Mark Cameron and I read some of his books. However, there are parts of this that just seemed more Mark Cameron than Tom Clancy. Please note, I said parts because I read the whole darn thing. However, this let's keep publishing when someone passes away with someone else writing it I just don't understand. However, I'm the guilty fool who keeps buying it so I guess that explains it.

Only the 2nd Tom Clancy Collection book I can't read - TERRIBLE

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

After Clancy passed, there was a terrible book written by an author who wrote in a manner of the "Anti-Clancy" style. They must have brought the same terrible author back for this book. I am 38% of the way through this book and can't tell you what has happened so far since the writing is SO distracting. The author uses way too many words to describe completely unnecessary aspects. He used over 20 words to describe a type of binoculars, material of a jacket, and the fanney-pack for a bodyguard - BUT I can't tell you what happened in the story so far. TERRIBLE - PLEASE NEVER BRING BACK THIS AUTHOR IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT THE CLANCY FRANCHISE!!!!

Definitely not Clancy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

From "The Hunt for Red October" I have read every Tom Clancy book. All were excellent but I think it unfair the books have now been entitled "Tom Clancy's etc"for some time when that author is long deceased. it appears to me that with each one by Mr. Cameron, he relies on that selling the book and has long ceased trying to continue the way Tom Clancy did. Another disappointing read from this author and disappointing too he now makes a living using the name of a great author when his books do not come anywhere near to that author's skill for writing an exciting and believable story and all could be read just wondering what the next chapter might bring.

It's not by Clancy, it's not very good, and it's not worth buying

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

The 'Tom Clancy' mill keeps churning out these books, and they get ever worse.

Oh dear.

At least in the past they'd make a great beach/airport read, but now they're pretty much drivel, written by authors that don't seem to care and produced by publishers that just want to keep cashing in on Clancy's name.

What I find hard to understand is why the author isn't capable of creating new characters, and why the publishers don't at least make the author go back and examine what made the early Clancy's enjoyable and readable.

All we're left with at the end of the day is a pale shadow of the early, tense and dramatic techno-thrillers that Clancy became famous for.

Too many threads to follow

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the first Jack Ryan book I've read written by this author and it is not up to the standard of others.

There were just too many threads to the story, so it jumped all over the place and therefor made the story line hard to follow, so I lost interest quite early on.

Good techno-thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

It's not a "Tom Clancy" - too short, for a start 😀 - but any story that you can describe as "too short" is definitely not all bad. The problem here, is one I have with practically all writing (and all writers, not just Marc Cameron) ... it's too obviously written as part of a series. The ability to write a standalone novel, with no unresolved plot lines and no obvious "new" character introduction seems to be a dying art. That said, this is a well researched, believable and entertaining contribution to the on-going "Jack Jr." saga. It's a good techno-thriller - without in any way feeling like a technical briefing document (that is not always achieved in this field). Definitely worth a read
