Tom Clancy Shadow of the Dragon

A Jack Ryan Novel, Book 20

By: Marc Cameron

Narrated by: Scott Brick

A missing Chinese scientist, unexplained noises emanating from under the Arctic ice, and a possible mole in American intelligence are just some of the problems that plague President Jack Ryan in the latest entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Aboard an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean a sonar operator hears an unusual noise coming from the ocean floor. She can't isolate it and chalks the event up to an anomaly in a newly installed system.

Meanwhile, operatives with the Chinese Ministry of State Security are dealing with their own mystery--the disappearance of brilliant but eccentric scientist, Liu Wangshu. They're desperate to keep his crucial knowledge of aerospace and naval technology out of their rivals' hands.

Finding Liu is too great an opportunity for any intelligence service to pass up, but there's one more problem. A high-level Chinese mole, codenamed Surveyor, has managed to infiltrate American Intelligence. President Jack Ryan has only one choice: send John Clark and his Campus team deep into China to find an old graduate student of the professor's who may hold the key to his whereabouts. It's a dangerous gamble, but with John Clark holding the cards, Jack Ryan is all in.

Not his best book

I found the book a bit complicated, too many catastrophes at one time. Could have used some comic relief.

Another wonderful book

This Jack Ryan novel has you turning in so many different directions, the time flies by in an instant.

A Good Listen

I enjoyed listening to this book. The story is what you would expect from a Clancy inspired novel. The narrator was excellent.

Jack Ryan saga continues

A good tale from the series. Enjoyed it and the focus on China and not Russia for a change. A good Spy Thriller.

A Classic Jack Ryan thriller. !

An absolute page turner. Be still my pounding heart! Highly recommended. You won’t be able to put it down.
