Description

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War is out now on Prime Video!

A Russian plot to seize the Panama Canal plunges President Jack Ryan into a desperate fight for his life in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

For a century, the Panama Canal has served as the path between the seas. Control of this vital waterway is the difference between free trade and chaos in world markets.

So when Panamanian President Rafael Botero asks for a show of support against the socialist opposition, his old friend President Jack Ryan can’t turn down an invitation to visit the country, but what seems like an ordinary opportunity to preach the values of democracy quickly turns into a nightmare when a full-blown coup d’état erupts.

President Ryan and his Secret Service team are cut off and out of communication. In Washington, the Vice President is coordinating a military response, but there's still one more obstacle.

One of the main forces behind the coup is the ruthless criminal organization known as the Camarilla. They’ve had their tentacles deep inside the plot to overthrow the government. All of their hard work has just presented them with an unexpected opportunity they can’t resist—the chance to kill President Jack Ryan.

Marc Cameron knocked it out of the park with Command and Control. Such a great book and a roller coaster ride. The settings were familiar. The action was fast and believable, the characters were incredibly well done! Get it now!

I thought I’d never tire of the JR universe, but these last few installments are pinky finger shallow and pretty obvious money grabs.

In this latest grab for cash, the campus
is adding more members to the squad but somehow forgets about regular characters from the Jack Jr series…is that IP not allowed into the broader Jack Sr universe?

This plot is a stretch of the imagination even by Tom Clancy standards and any interesting plot points developed throughout the book are undone by a sprint to the finish finale that leave this reader feeling dirty, in not a good way.

As I continue to throw money at these cash grabs, because I’m an idiot, I do wonder if in doing so I’m promoting this nonsense and actively taking away from the legacy of the original books that were actually good?

Do I need to get off this cash grab mobile and leave this universe in order to help save it?
Another Fabulous Clancy Style Yarn
