Summary

FOR JACK RYAN, THE GREATEST THREAT LURKS BENEATH THE WAVES . . . AGAIN

When a Russian superweapon is let loose under the waves, it's up to President Jack Ryan to find a countermove in the latest entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

US intelligence is reporting turmoil in the Russian navy. Their deadliest submarine, the Belgorod, has unexpectedly launched. Who authorised the departure? What mission is it on? And, most disturbing of all, what weapons do the giant doors on the sub's bow hide?

It's been four decades since a similar incident with the Soviet sub, Red October, ended happily, thanks to a young CIA analyst named Jack Ryan.

Now, President Jack Ryan finds himself with fleets of ships, squadrons of jets, and teams of SEALs at his command, but what he doesn't have is insight into the plans of the Belgorod's commander. It falls to a younger generation of Ryans to do the dangerous work that will reveal that information.

But there's always a price to be paid. When the final moments tick away, will Jack Ryan have to choose between the safety of his country and the safety of his child?

Back to the best.

Outstanding detail and flow. Held you in suspense and made sure you had to keep up and thinking. Great character portrayal and to see the old boys come back totally he party.

Hunt for Red October II

Although this was not of course written by Tom Clancy it is most definitely the sequel to HRO. The parallels are deliberate and very well done. The Campus / JRjnr books are enjoyable but this was back to President JR. Brilliant story, well executed. Thoroughly recommend for any Clancy fans.

So enjoyable

Loved this as much as The Hunt for Red October. Great to meet a new Ryan. Looking forward to the next episode.

Excellent classic Jack Ryan

Fast paced. It's one of the best JR books in the recent era, in my opinion. Great follow-up to the series and Red October. Another Ryan family member emerges as a future principal.

Better than the good Red October

A perfect story, speed, interpretation. I am a bit afraid what's next as it's not too obvious and it works be a pity to stop the series here...😳

A good bock but lots of continuity errors

Another good book with a gripping story but there are a number of continuity errors (sorry I am picky). I have read or listened to every novel in both the Jack Ryan and the Jack Rayan Junior series and the biggest distraction is referring to Katie Ryan and Kyle Ryan as twins. Katie Ryan was born between Sum of all fears and Debt of Honour. It is a key story line in Executive Orders when there is a kidnapping attempt when she is a toddler. Kyle was born after Executive orders the birth was eluded to in Bear and the dragon when President Ryan is talking to Arnie Van Damm about an upcoming supreme court hearing about abortion. I also find it difficult to see Katie Ryan as a naval officer in her mid twenties when her father is still president because of the US constitution on the maximum number of presidential terms of office one man can serve.
