INSPIRATION FOR THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN . . .

The spies are being spied on in Tom Clancy's Threat Vector, the latest gripping addition to the Jack Ryan Jr series.

When Jack Ryan Jr, on a highly secret, off-the-books Campus mission in Turkey, discovers that his team's every move is monitored, he knows that US intelligence has been fatally compromised.

Back in the States, President Ryan watches in horror as China's weakened leader bends to a war-mongering general intent on turning the East into a bloodbath. At the same time, America comes under cyber attack from China, crippling government and military infrastructure. President Ryan needs to act: a covert team must go in and neutralise these threats, and the Campus is the perfect fit.

Except a sinister figure known only as the Center is watching the Campus and Jack Ryan Jr's every move. Any misstep will be their last . . .

Jack Ryan is back and he's got everything to play for in Tom Clancy's masterful Threat Vector. The Jack Ryan Jr series also includes The Teeth of the Tiger, Dead or Alive and Locked On.

Reviews

[remo]

De nuevo, God Bless America en formato Jack Ryan. No sé qué porcentaje de la novela ha escrito Clancy, pero la revisión de estilo es suya. Aunque en esta novela, la última por ahora de la saga de los Ryan, había tanto que morder que a los autores no les ha quedado más remedio que pasar de puntillas por grandes zonas del argumento. China quiere ampliar sus aguas territoriales comiéndose las de India, Vietnam y Filipinas, y al mismo tiempo lanza un ciberataque contra los EE.UU. para que no osen meter las narices en el asunto. El Campus de Jack Ryan Junior está por supuesto involucrado en el asunto y correrán más y más aventuras intentando salvar el mundo (el mundo es isomorfo a los USA para Clancy).
Aparte de clarísimas apologías del asesinato de Estado, que Clancy disemina sin rubor, el libro está muy entretenido. Un thriller geopolítico de esos, bien llevado, concluido a duras penas, ya que si desarrollasen todos los temas en igual detalle que la primera mitad del libro nos iríamos a las 1.400 páginas. Lo que no me parecería mal, oiga.

Mi nota: Entretenido
