About this listen
President Jack Ryan faces a world crisis unlike any he has ever known. A high-level assassination attempt in Russia has the newly elected Ryan sending his most trusted eyes and ears - including antiterrorism specialist John Clark - to Moscow, for he fears the worst is yet to come. And he’s right. The attempt has left the already unstable Russia vulnerable to ambitious forces in China eager to fulfill their destiny. If they succeed, the world as we know it will never look the same. If they fail, the consequences may be unspeakable. Blending the exceptional realism and authenticity that are his hallmarks with intricate plotting, razor-sharp suspense and a remarkable cast of characters, this is Clancy at his best.

Critic reviews
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because it's a brilliantly detailed and twisting scenario that builds from small acts and unlinked conversations and espionage into huge mobilisations of national armies and tank battles and missiles and jet figher battles! A rip-roaring military adventure!What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Observing from different perspectives how perceived slights on one side can be the gravest insult, where as the other side is completely unaware they have done anything wrong, and the fates of nations rests of these mis-interpretations due to cultural differences.Have you listened to any of Michael Prichard’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I thought he was a very good narrator, I laughed my head off the first time he tried an english accent, very well done!If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Thunder is building in the east...Any additional comments?
Very bloody long! But that's what I got it for! I have an hour's drive each way on my commute every day! This book lasted a month. Thinking back now over all the events, it feels like I've read 3 or 4 different books; there are so many separate story lines going on which all get tied together at the end, exceptionally well done by Clancy.Favourite character has got to be the old sniper, Pavel Petrovich Gogol
"Before I killed Germans with this rifle, now I will kill Chinese"
"Help me with my wolves boy!"
"I've never shot a General before"
The ending had my heart pounding in my chest!

I am not a Gung ho type of person but as a armed forces veteran and retired police firearms officer I do like the Tom Clancy way of portraying his heroes and baddies (those in black hats) plus his treatment of career politicians all in all its a great one to listen to as well as read!
