Don't mess with family

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would to anyone who loves it when terrorists get what they deserve.

What did you like best about this story?

That Jack Ryan is able to do what needs to be done to save innocents, especially his family.

What about Michael Prichard’s performance did you like?

He is too monotonous.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Already been done reasonably well, but as usually changed way too much.

Still a great story.

Even after multiple, repeat listenings this is a keeper and though Mr. Clancy is dead this story of his will continue to be part of my listening experience.

awesome old school story

the book is like an old Hollywood movie without any high tech stuff and thats awesome. the recording quality is not great and that made following the characters difficult.

great book

narrations audio quality could have been better intro and outro being HQ but the book itself sounds like it was recorded in the 80s
