About this ebook
Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!
In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan gets caught in a war between the United States and a Colombian drug cartel and uncovers a shocking conspiracy.
When Colombian drug lords assassinate both the U.S. ambassador and the visiting head of the FBI, their actions trigger a covert response from the American government—a response that goes horribly wrong...
As the newly named Deputy Director of Intelligence for the CIA, Jack Ryan should be privy to operations like the one in Colombia, but he’s been left completely in the dark. With the help of field officer John Clark, Ryan intends to find out what’s really going on. But while they expect danger from without, the greatest threat of all may come from within.

A darn fine story that seems to offer us a look at the little known world of the US Coast Guard. Alas, no. It quickly becomes a jungle tour for the Special Ops team that precedes the Campus. It then bogs down in a morass of morality and high level federal law that is obviously quite meticulously researched but perhaps less exciting than intended..hopefully this information will come in handy in later books..satisfying ending as we get back to action and consequences.

For anyone who has never served in the military, Clancy's work is great. Its packed with action and twists abound. Its great storytelling. The reality is that any Vet can tell Clancy never served and it shows.

I've started reading the Jack Ryan series chronologically again. Even digital, Tom Clancy maintains command over my interest.
About the author
A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October—the first of the phenomenally successful Jack Ryan novels—sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
