In this 14th installation of the Jack Ryan Series, Jack Jr, is an operator for The Campus - the off-the-book intelligence agency that hunts down terrorists. The plot includes arch enemy the Emir, who has resurfaced as the fanatical leader of the Umayyad Revolutionary Council, a deadly situation threatening the Middle East, and a plot to stop Ryan Sr. from re-election to the US Presidency.

Una nueva novela de Clancy, la tercera sobre las andanzas de Jack Ryan Jr. En esta ocasión hay amenaza de guerra nuclear, daguestaníes islámicos armados, una caza de la CIA contra sus propios agentes y unas cuantas historias paralelas más. Las novelas de Toma Clancy son buenas para lo que son buenas: pasar un rato muy entretenido y ver cómo hace Clancy (y su adlátere de turno) desfilar el mundo paralelo ante nuestros ojos. De vez en cuando, en sus novelas, Clancy hace paradas y detalla de manera bastante técnica técnicas de espionaje y policiales. En esta novela hay muchas páginas detalladas sobre cómo es un seguimiento en coche o sobre cómo se colocan cámaras espía en una casa. Para los que tenemos cierto interés, están muy bien.

Por supuesto, Clancy ofrece su habitual sobredosis de barras y estrellas forevah, hay que tolerárselo porque si no no escribiría estas novelas. Hoy mismo, 4 de diciembre, sale publicada la siguiente de la serie: China invade Taiwán. Promete. Esta ha sido muy entretenida. (
