Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Tom Clancy's Line of Sight by Mike Maden, read by Scott Brick.

Jack Ryan Jr is in an assassin's sights . . .

Sent to the Balkans on an analytical mission, Jack Ryan Jr visits Sarajevo to meet Aida, the girl whose eyesight his mother saved in the war twenty-five years ago. He finds a selfless, attractive woman helping refugees in a restless country where a new war is brewing.

Coming to her aid, Jack is soon tangling with the Serbian mafia while dodging assassins from the mysterious Iron Syndicate. Alone and defying recall orders, he believes this is more than local trouble.

Has someone lit the fuse on the next world war?
Is Jack endangering Aida trying to find out?
And what can he alone do to stop it?

PRAISE FOR TOM CLANCY

'Heart-stopping action... entertaining and eminently topical... Clancy still reigns' Washington Post

'Highly entertaining' The Wall Street Journal

PRAISE FOR MIKE MADEN

'Maden's trail of intrigue will captivate you from page one' Clive Cussler

Good apart from politics messaging

The overall book is worth reading but Mike’s clumsy attempts to add in current politics to polarize whoever he doesn’t like goes against the rest of the theme in the book.

Lacking Ingredients of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan books

The story is almost lost amongst the overwhelming detail.

In this Tom Clancy Jack Ryan book, Jack Ryan’s role is only a cameo in the first half of the book.

The author Mike Maden, seems to have moved away from Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan & begun to transpose his own voice onto Jack Ryan.

When Mike Maden joined the Tom Clancy franchise, he was told, 'Feel free to add to the canon — just don't mess it up.'

Well, in ‘Line of Sight’, he has strayed too far. Jack Ryan Jr seems to have become less trained then he has previously been portrayed. He has also basically dropped ‘The Campass’ involvement in his Jack Ryan books.

Cliched boredom

Sorry, as much as I love this book series, the cliched parade of baddies is getting as boring as old cowboy & Indian movies.

Couldn’t even finish.
