Tom Clancy Executive Power

An international incident may fracture the Ryan family in the latest entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Luanda, Angola
An American intelligence team on a routine mission is wiped out. The sole survivor: Kyle Ryan, youngest son of President Jack Ryan.

But the massacre of his colleagues is just the prelude to an even more devastating conflict—a deadly military coup in the central African nation. The next step is a shocking escalation, the seizure of the American Embassy and the taking of numerous hostages including the ambassador and the younger Ryan.

As US forces fight insurgents street by street in the African capital city, Lieutenant Katie Ryan leads the effort to untangle the mystery behind the coup and the identity of the plotters. Is it the Chinese government? Is it a corrupt Angolan general? Or is there a darker force pulling the strings?

In the White House Situation Room, President Jack Ryan and his National Intelligence Team anxiously await the answers. He may have a full Marine Expeditionary Unit at his command, but the full executive power of the presidency is useless if they can’t find the target.

One thing’s for sure, Kyle and his fellow hostages sit at the center of the bullseye—human shields to deflect an American response. Jack Ryan has faced many challenges as President, but solving this problem is no one-man job. It’s going to take all three of them to get through this.

Fantastic listen, didn't want to stop my car

I always listen to my audio books in the car and listen my entire Christmas vacation ride! so good, like getting to know all the Ryan kids!

Great story about Kyle Ryan

This one was much better than the last Clancy book in the Ryanverse! Its nice to see them focusing more on the younger members of the Ryan family.

A banger

This was an excellent listen. One of the best Jack Ryan books in a while. I like the direction. Yeah you have to suspend a lot of disbelief, but I’m cool with that. I was getting tired of Jack Jr’s whining and princess attitude. I do miss the good ole campus at times. But this one I sure did enjoy.

Too many model #

Used too many tla’s for equipment, ie AH501c means nothing to most readers. Just describe the equipment. Thats Dale Browns biggest shortfall. This book had much more of this than previous Clancy novels. Scott Brick the best and in a class of his own. Story was great but a bit predictable

Great combination of story, depth of character and narration, ALL FANTASTIC!

This is a good continuation of the Jack Ryan story and the legacy of Tom Clancy!
