About this listen

Surviving a helicopter crash in the Vietnamese Highlands is only the start of the challenges facing Jack Ryan, Jr., in the latest propulsive thriller of this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

The vibrant economy of the new Vietnam is a shiny lure for Western capital. Companies are racing to uncover ideal opportunities. Not wanting to be left behind, Hendley Associates has sent their best analyst, Jack Ryan, Jr., to mine for investment gold. And he may have found some in a rare earth mining company—GeoTech.

But a trip with a Hendley colleague to the Highlands to observe the company’s operations takes a treacherous turn when their helicopter is shot down. Some things haven’t changed, and Vietnam is still the plaything of powerful neighbors. The Chinese are determined to keep Jack from finding the truth about what exactly is being processed at the isolated factory.

Now Jack is in a race for his life. He’s got to stay one step ahead of a pack of killers while supporting his wounded friend. He’ll get no help from the government, because in the jungle, it’s the shadow state that rules.

While it’s felt like many in this series have had trouble finding their footing, this novel was great. Not terribly quick out of the gates, but increasingly satisfying as time went on. I’m a bit worried about their limited use of some campus members but pleased that Dom didn’t get gravely injured for the fiftieth time, and it was nice to have Mr. H and Gavin back in the fold, even if they didn’t seem totally in line with their characters in earlier books.

My only real gripe was Gavin complaining about being exhausted when trying to locate Jack - part of their friendship has always been that he’d drop anything to help his buddy.

Nice return to form

I used to love Scott Brick but the constant overemphasis hyperinflective wore me out. I’m four hours in and struggling. 😳

Narrator is tiresome
