About this listen

 Newly elected, Jack Ryan has found that being President is not easy: domestic pitfalls await him at every turn; there's a revolution in Liberia; the Asian economy is going down the tubes; and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to assassinate the chairman of the SVR - the former KGB - with a rocket-propelled grenade. Were the potential assassins political enemies, the Russian Mafia, or disaffected former KGB? Or is something far more dangerous at work here? While Ryan dispatches his most trusted eyes and ears, including black ops specialist John Clark, to find out the truth of the matter, forces in China are moving ahead with a plan of truly audacious proportions. If they succeed, the world will never look the same again.©2000 Rubicon, Inc.; (P)2000 Random House Inc., Random House AudioBooks, a Division of Random House Inc.

"When the door blows open and the shooting starts, nobody does it better than Tom Clancy." --The Dallas Morning News

Ryan makes another appearance in this Tom Clancy novel. The build up and creating the atmosphere of the problems that Ryan face is tremendous. The description of what takes place on the boarders of China and Russia is fantastic. It was a good read.

Have both read the book and now heard it on Audible. Have really enjoyed it as I'd forgotten some of it. A must for both techno and Tom Clancy fans. Will now try Executive Order and Debt of Honour.

This is a very abridged version of the book and the story line is very disjointed because so much of the story line has been left out. You will be disappointed at the lack of the usual Clancy detail when telling his stories. Having read the book, this Audible version is a very poor effort. I subsequently discovered there is another Audible version of The Bear and The Dragon which is unabridged and is some 10 hours longer, which gives an indication of just how much has been left out.
