"Yesterday's mistakes are paid for with today's blood in the latest exciting entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.As President of the United States, Jack Ryan wields unimaginable power, but there's one foe he can't hope to defeat: the shadows in his past. Now, one of them has resurfaced and threatens not just his presidency, but the security of the entire Western world."
Authors have been writing serial novels for a long time - once you have established a character it’s like anannuity that pays off once a year or so. The challenge comes when the author starts to run out of creativity, gets older and takes on a co-author (whether credited or not), or the character starts to age out to the point of no longer being believable. Frequently, the result is a decline in quality of the product. The estate of Tom Clancy has for the most part selected excellent authors to continue the Jack Ryan universe, and Marc Cameron has avoided the aging out of Jack Ryan by starting to fill in the rather large gaps that haven’t been covered in prior books. Some of the critical reviews I have read of this book make good, but rather small points, others seem little more than quibbles. Overall, and particularly compared to the hundreds of other books in this genre, Cameron has done an excellent job of getting things both correct and believable. It is an enjoyable read, as are the books about his own characters.
