Great action
"Tom Clancy Flash Point" continues the legacy of the late Tom Clancy's action-packed espionage thrillers, delivering another adrenaline-pumping adventure that fans of the genre will find hard to put down. Written by [Author's Name], this book keeps the spirit of Clancy's iconic characters and intricate geopolitical intrigue alive while adding a fresh perspective to the series.The story follows familiar faces, including Jack Ryan Jr., as they are drawn into a high-stakes mission to uncover a global conspiracy with potentially catastrophic consequences. The plot weaves a complex web of international espionage, cyber warfare, and political maneuvering, creating a narrative that is as relevant to today's world as it is thrilling.The characters in "Flash Point" are well-drawn, with their personal struggles and complexities adding depth to the narrative. Jack Ryan Jr. remains a compelling protagonist, grappling with the weight of his family's legacy while striving to make his mark in the intelligence community. The supporting cast, both new and familiar, are equally engaging and contribute to the book's overall appeal.One aspect where "Flash Point" excels is in its exploration of contemporary geopolitical issues. The story touches on themes of cyber warfare, international tensions, and the blurred lines between government agencies and private entities in the digital age. These elements give the plot a sense of relevance and urgency that is often missing in traditional spy thrillers.

authrntivc action
It is hard to believe that Don Bentley also wrote the Clancy novel Weapons Grade. It is the worstClancy plot I have ever read and I have read them all. I still believe by the way that the last chapter of Debt of Honor gave the idea for the 9-11 plot in 2001. This book is very authentic in terms of the challenge posed by China and some excellent action sequences. A first rate read. It is also the first Clancy novel whereby the Campus is outsmarted and needs to be rescued with most of our favourite characters badly wounded and integrated into the wider intelligence community. I will be very interested to see how this develops in future books. Whatever you do not part with money for Weapons Grade. The plot is ludicrous and Jack Ryan is basically superman who with one bound he is free from too many impossible situations.

I love the series and I'm a big fan, although I would prefer if they were in Spanish. However, this reading helps me practice my English. It's important to me that two new operators have been introduced to the Campus, but I feel it's not consistent with Clancy's original idea. The Campus should be an organization under the radar, and Junior shouldn't have direct contact with Mary Pat but through Jerry Heandley, not even Clark. This sounds not only confusing but also inconsistent. This time, the plot has been incredible, and I love how it has been narrated (except for some boring episodes with certain characters of nonsense names). But if it continues like this, it might lose its charm, especially since the Campus now seems to have resources from the CIA and the military. No one questions anything? This is incongruent and headed in the wrong direction.I believe it should stick to Clancy's original concept and keep the organization secretive, without giving so much prominence to Ryan Jr. I know he's important, but what about Dominic? His role should be more significant, just like Adara, who makes an incredible undercover pair. On the other hand, was Midas on vacation? He's the strongest operator with the most experience after Ding; there's no excuse for that. Moreover, Clark hasn't been part of field operations since his time with Rainbow; he's now a 70-year-old man. Ding should be leading on-site. With the addition of Cary and his partner, they could form a better squad in the upcoming installments, but Lissane should step back. Even the ending was quite dull, without a clear reason for its existence.I want this universe that I love to persist and continue. I enjoy the narration, the action, adventure, and the realistic vehicles, but the storyline should have more continuity and return to Clancy's original vision. Lastly, I'd like to recommend reading this book; it's very exciting. It will take you to incredible locations, fantastic situations, and a lot of action. Please excuse my writing, I used a translator.

Para aqueles que gostam de ação, espionagem e aventuras
Livro para aqueles que são fans de espionagem, aventuras em lugares exóticos. Não é mais escrita diretamente por Tom Clancy, mas mesmo assim vale a pena. Todos os personagens de outros líberos estão presentes, alguns, desta vez, não saem ilesos.

Fabulous! World Class
Flash Point is the best thriller I’ve read since AJ Quinell was active. It’s the right mix of geo-politics, critical thinking and cool weapons. He actually walks the reader through some cool weaponry, about which I happen to know a little.There is a lot written by different authors about Tom Clancy’s hero, Jack Ryan, and now about him and his son, so well have a chance to compare authors’ skills in a bounded environment. It’s a bit like the food fight that has been going on with Robert B. Parker’s Spenser and Jesse Stone, where you know the character well and get to see how well authors treat him in prose. It’s time for a new Clancy, (Red-October, et al) or Quinell (Man on Fire, et al). This may be it.I’ve been noodling the term, ’National Security Techno-thriller’. Maybe we should create a new category for that with an annual winner—maybe call it a Henry, for the Good Dr. who just turned 100. I just read a ‘Henry’ worthy novel named Flash Point. This guy is good. The editing is superb. Big chunks of necessary explanatory chunks are smoothed with spacing, tags and probably, experience. Copy-editing is flawless, unlike so much of what is published today in this genre.Jack Ryan, the protagonist, can go a lot of places and do a lot of things, which makes it easier to come up with a good story setting or plot. If he spoke Arabic or Cantonese the opportunities would be endless.The thread of the old jack Ryan together with the new President, his father, is done well. There is just enough.In character development, he takes a lot of time explaining the impact of duty fighting emotion. Again, nicely done.I suspect female readers might tire quickly of the techo-guns stuff detail. I got quite a bit of feedback to that effect from my smart female first-readers with The Mahdi. That is the just finished manuscript of this type of thriller, my fourth, that I await from copy edit. I have to credit Bentley with noting the Heckler and Koch 416 with the attached 40mm grenade launcher; that round is the close combat weapon of the near future. Make it more accurate, up the quality of the explosive, drive it with software. Magic.Flash Point got hairy at the 50% mark, after lots of great shoot-‘em-up. One is required to think beyond that point.I was fascinated with the pilot chatter, full of stuff I had never thought about. And the whole P-8 narrative was fantastic. This guy Bentley is connected.I’ve been noodling the term, ’National Security techno-thriller’. Maybe we should create a new category for that with an annual winner—maybe call it a Henry, for the Good Dr. who just turned 100. I just read a Henry.Great read.Robert Cook, author of Pulse
