But after reading all the currently available Jack Ryan/Jack Jr./John Clark/Campus books I was hungry enough for some more Clancy world to read it. I actually liked it more than I expected. The brief tie in with Dominic Caruso at the very end was intriguing. After all isn't the Campus in need of some additional personnel at this point? Liked the HUMAN aspects: guilt, regret, lust, etc. that are too often missing from the Campus series. Anything Navy SEAL-related always interests me. Liked the Mexico aspects, especially considering the current charged political issues with the border. To me this is classic Tom Clancy to work a story around real-world dangers and possibilities.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Different Tom ClancyBy Carol in ArizonaIf you are looking for a Jack Ryan action thriller, this isn't it. However, it is very entertaining and you don't want to put it down. It is somewhat disjointed until all the characters are introduced and developed. It was a good thriller especially when the action centered on the Mexican drug cartels. Seeing how the different government agencies could work together to bring down the cartels if they put their egos aside, and regular people acting like Americans for a change, made the ending exciting and fun to read. I read it twice and was able to put all the characters in perspective. So much activity and so many characters so the second reading made in that much more enjoyable.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not one of his bestBy AmberI don't normally review books. I'm far from a literary critic. But there were a few things I didn't like about this book.Tom Clancy introduces a new protagonist for this novel but his character isn't as believable as others like Jack Ryan or John Clark. The narrative makes it sound less like he has a troubled past and more like he just really needs therapy for his PTSD. The narrative also doesn't read like Clancy's normal style of writing. It didn't flow as well and the sentence structure was often awkward and forced. I often had to reread paragraphs to discern what the author was trying to convey.
