Jack is not superman but very entertaining

the Tom Clancy legacy should be kept alive by going to the cleverness of the old books and moving away from the superhero persona that Jack has become. Jack is supposed to be clever but the books are making him to infallible in brown and not in brain

not so great

an odd balance between incredible minutia, and a rush to finish the story left me with a feeling of being cut to soon.
I missed Jackbinteractions with the rest of the capus, it was very brief

Spellbound action

An unforgettable Jack Rayan performance.Can’t wait for the next book.Non stop action page after page.

These stories are getting ridiculous

The near superhuman climax reads more like Matthew Riely than Tom Clancy. I wish they'd go back to the epic plots that ended with Clancy. The ghost written stories are getting more ridiculous with each itteration. Still enjoyable, but not what it once was.

Scott Brick saves the day.

Honestly if it wasn’t for the narrator I’d have given up.

STOP killing strong female characters, it’s demeaning. It’s not heroic.

Also why is Jack morphing into a cross between Rambo, Bruce McLean & Bruce Wayne?

I can’t wait for more Campus novels, these are going nowhere.
