Summary

At what point does criminal activity threaten national security? When can a nation respond to it as to an enemy? These are the questions Jack Ryan must consider when he hears the awful news: Colombian drug lords, tired of being harassed by US law enforcement agents, have assassinated three high American officials, and that is just the beginning. The message is clear: Leave us alone. But they have pushed too far. Someone steps quietly over the line they have drawn, deploying covert-action teams in Colombia, intending to take the fight to the enemy. But does anyone know who the real enemy is? And how much action is too much? Who is doing what? Which line has been crossed? Ryan and his "dark side" counterpart, a shadowy field officer known only as Mr. Clark, must find out. They expect danger from without - but the danger from within may be the greatest of all.

Good yarn

Classic Clancy. Narrator was ok. Passable but pretty monotone. All round though it was a good story.

From the narrator to the story, first class

The story is just brilliant, they have found a voice that fits the characters. Can’t begin to describe how much I enjoyed this . I hope you feel that way too

Mixed feelings

Fantastic story as always from Tom Clancy but not so keen on Michael Pritchard reading.

Many are compared to, but none measure up

I have listened to a few other books penned by new authors of late, each slated as “the new Clancy”.
None have even come close to the originals.

Extra words not always needed

Listen whilst you are harmlessly engaged but pay attention to character names as it can get very busy. Not sure who enjoys the minute details of fire power and helicopter engines however. Great performance by narrator.
