Clear and Present Danger (A Jack Ryan Novel) Paperback – July 3, 2018

good story

The book was way better than the movie, the book was more realistic and explains the story better. typical Clancy detail.

This one has a bit of everything, from political shenanigans to spy stuff to military action. And along the way, Ryan finally meets John Clark. It's also a heck of a lot better than the movie.I know a lot of folk don't like Clancy's attention to detail. I do, having been in the military, and having been a geek for so long that the word wasn't used when I started.I also like his books because many of his characters are intelligent, honest, and ethical people. I find that refreshing, since these attributes are no longer "in fashion", much to the detriment of our society.

Reading it now. Love all of Tom Clancy's books. I would like to read some of his non-fiction books too.RIP Tom Clancy. You were such a wonderful and great author.Sylvia Lyons

Excellent thriller keep you wandering what comes next if you like action and a thriller novel this is the novel you want to read better than the movie

What makes Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels so special, is that they are not simply just action spy thrillers with espionage, explosions, etc. They feel more realistic, like as if the issues raised in the books were ripped straight out of a newspaper headline, and 'Clear and Present Danger' is no exception, as it raises the issues of U.S. American Policy; the War on Drugs; the abuse of political and military power by a government bureaucracy with no accountability; etc., and was even written with relevance to not just the War on Drugs but also the Iran–Contra Affair during Reagan's Presidency in the 1980's. But even then, the book's sociopolitical issues still feels relevant today, even in this post–Trump era.But anybody who is a Jack Ryan fan, or a general fan of political thrillers, 'Clear and Present Danger' is worth the read, and oughta be read alongside watching the movie, as well.SPOILER ALERT:Unlike in the movie where Jack Ryan is more of a main central character, in the book, he is more of a secondary character who becomes important by the second–half. And the film's ending did leave me feeling somewhat a bit frustrated, but calmed down after reading the book's ending.

I’m not the biggest fan, this and the previous Jack Ryan books started off really slow, but once they pick up speed, you cannot put the book down. I will most certainly read the rest of the Jack Ryan series.

This was another impressive installment in the Jack Ryan series. Clancy is brilliant in the way which he brings the story to life. This tale was certainly one of twists and turns and kept me at the edge of my seat, waiting for the next peak in the storyline. Definitely a must read...on to book five!
