Phenomenal book. Although Jack Ryan is probably the charachter who's perspective the reader is most meant to be seeing the story through, he's not actually in the book all that much. John Clark and Ding Chavez are in the book more prominently. Which is all fine by me, they're my favorite characters in the "Ryanverse" anyway. Michael Pritchard does a really good job on the narration. He adjusts his voice just enough for each character, even the females, to help give them color and identity in conversations, but not overmuch so as to get too close to being cheese. If you are on the fence about what to read next, and you even have a passing interest in Clancy's novels, get this one.
