Mike (the Paladin)
This is our first meeting with John Clark...if you follow Clansy's novels that tells you the back ground on this one.

This novel is quite a bit more violent than some of Clancy's other works (that's saying something I know) but that will hold true for the Clark centered novels in the series.

You get fast moving adventure with slightly less of the political twists you get when the books are about "Jack". This is an intense read.

This is a repeat reading as I move through the shelves during our "Shelter in Place" during the Coronavirus Outbreak...This is the backstory of the evolution of John Clark from a retired SEAL operative, living on an island in Chesapeake Bay, to the CIA operative that later emerges throughout the "Jack Ryan Universe." ...more
