Tom Clancy fans should welcome Greaney's fast-paced fourth solo Jack Ryan novel (after 2015's Commander in Chief), in which once again a small group of heroes tackles a daunting national security threat. Ryan is now president, and his son, Jack Ryan Jr., works for a covert group known as the Campus. Both are tested when an information leak leads to carefully planned hits on members of the military and the intelligence community, apparently carried out by ISIS. The proliferation and scope of the attacks somehow don't result in widespread panic. President Ryan is able to resist pressure to respond militarily, which he believes would play into the terrorists' hands. Meanwhile, Jack Jr., an analyst as well as a skilled field agent, races against time to forestall further loss of life by tracing the leak. Those who don't mind major improbabilities (America's director of national intelligence flies to Iraq to supervise an operation without notifying the president) will be more than satisfied.

When key members of the American military and intelligence communities start getting murdered and undercover agents start getting their covers exposed, it becomes evident that a major data breach has occurred. Clancy regular John Clark and the Campus get involved in tracking down the hack. The well-paced action takes place from Iran and Malaysia to Sicily and the suburbs of Washington, DC. There is something in this story for everyone-a great intellectual mystery to be solved and action in droves-and the reading of Scott Brick is simply splendid. The richness of his performance makes for a great audiobook. The narration gives life to the variety of characters (Russian, Arab, Iranian, etc.) by providing subtle yet realistic accents without them becoming stereotypes. VERDICT Greaney does a magnificent job of keeping the legacy of Tom Clancy alive.-Scott R. DiMarco, Mansfield Univ. of Pennsylvania Lib. © Copyright 2017.
