Synopsis
The old rules no longer apply - anybody with a spare AK47 or a knowledge of kitchen chemistry can become a player. In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, 'The Campus', set up with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan identifies and locates terrorist threats - then deals with them, in whatever manner is necessary. It's an organisation always on the lookout for new recruits - men like Jack Ryan Jr, the President's son. Filled with the exceptional realism and cutting-edge authenticity that are his hallmarks, this is Clancy at his best - and there is none better.

Customer Reviews

Boring
I never dreamed Tom Clancy could produce such a load of rubbish.I imagine it was to try to seem 'with it'that his main charactors use 'BRO; every other word.
That Jack Ryan could oroduce a homicidal zombie son like this is enough to wipe out all the years spent with him
sorry BRO doubt I shall ever pick up a Clancy book again
PRINCE RAFAEL

Oh Tom what have you done
Having read a lot of Clancy books, I was hoping for the same with this, indeed, without remorse is probably one of my favorite books. This on the other hand is not! A squalid tepid affair with no depth and far too much Clancy "this is how the world should be" ism!

Recommended
Another typical Tom Clancy - a big book in all respects, which he handles in his usual competent manner. The plot may be somewhat over the top, though there are some parallels in the real world with unacknowledged covert units operating in the murky world of counter-terrorism. He writes action scenes with authority, and the characters are real and almost entirely believable - recommended.
