Jack Ryan Jr battles terrorists in the disputed mountains of Kashmir to save a comrade in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
A string of savage murders in the United States seems unrelated until the FBI makes a shocking discovery: a decade ago, all of the murder victims were involved in a raid to eliminate the Umayyad Revolutionary Council, a vicious terror group that--were it not for John Clark and the Campus--would have perpetrated the most devastating attack against critical American infrastructure in history. Now it appears they're back, with a next-generation leader hell-bent on revenge.
Mary Pat Foley, Director of National Intelligence, greenlights an op for the Campus to cut the head off the snake. Clark taps ex-Delta commando Bartosz "Midas" Jankowski to lead a kill team deep into the mountains to snuff out the charismatic terror leader. But when the hunters become the hunted, it's up to Jack Rayan Jr. to avert disaster amid a deadly power game of nations vying for control of the disputed region.
On a rapid covert ingress from neighboring India, he'll traverse the Himalayan wilderness with a rifle on his back and a tough Mujahadin fighter by his side. Jack knows time is growing short--he must save his team and lead them into position to be the first to hit terminal velocity.

First.Jack Ryan book, I thought it was greatGoing to look for an original Jack Ryan book nowNext up?
Book Review — Tom Clancy Terminal Velocity — M. P. WoodwardAuthor M. P. Woodward clearly knows his “stuff” with his penning of his third Tom Clancy Jack Ryan, Jr. novel entitled, “Terminal Velocity.”This well told geopolitical, military operations, techno thriller felt credible, plausible and well-researched.Woodard delivers another pulse-pounding global intrigue Clancy book from the Ryanverse. It entails an espionage mole in the intelligence community, terrorists scheming across continents, and covert missions stretching from Washington state to India and Pakistan.The pace is brisk with plenty of action and the Clancy style is very prevalent throughout the storyline.There’s a lot to enjoy in this book — secret ops, cross-border tension, and high stakes. I also commend Woodward for the inclusion of other familiar characters from the Clancy Jack Ryan universe.Terminal Velocity is a high-octane spy thriller with rich Clancy-like geopolitical backdrops and covert-ops flair spotlighting “The Campus” — the "off the books" intelligence organization and private military company established by President Jack Ryan, Sr. and works for the U. S. government.Woodward’s storytelling delivers more than enough to satisfy. Book 14 in the Jack Jr. series may not be the best in the series, but it’s a solid, well-written addition.
The author created an outstanding story that fits well with the Jack Ryan DNA and series. A fun book to read with a plot that is relevant in today’s world. Excellent!
Another Clancy that keeps you engrossed enough to forget about putting the book down.
Jack Jr needs to reevaluate his values. Once again he has put his own selfish interests ahead of others. He is married to his job and wouldn’t make a very good husband.
