Could you explain the series numbering on the Jack Ryan and Jack Ryan jr series? I am finding conflicting numbering and series' names! Thanks.

Alex Shrugged Some books are also labelled as the "Campus" series which is also accurate since a lot of the story involves more than simply Jack Jr. However, I agree with Triciareader. Jack Ryan senior is the major reference point for the series and he appears occasionally in these novels, so my main reference continues from the previous series, but I also counted the sub-series separately. That became confusing and was not worth the trouble, imho.

Triciareader This is confusing. He started with the Jack Ryan series; then there were mentions of Jack Ryan, Jr. and, eventually a 'Jack Ryan, Jr.' series was identified. Unfortunately, if you check titles, they're often (see list below) the Jack Ryan series. If you check multiple sites, you'll get multiple different answers. Some days, I think publishers/authors like to sow confusion. :( As the cataloger at a public library, I made the decision to follow the numbering of the Jack Ryan series, since it is the original and more popular.

This is what I set up for patrons at my library:

Tom Clancy -
Jack Ryan series overlaps with the Jack Ryan, Jr. Series, to wit:
Jack Ryan #12 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #1
Jack Ryan #13 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #2
Jack Ryan #14 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #3
Jack Ryan #15 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #4
Jack Ryan #16 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #5
Jack Ryan #17 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #6
Jack Ryan #18 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #7
Jack Ryan #19 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #8
Jack Ryan #21 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #9
Jack Ryan #23= Jack Ryan, Jr. #10
Jack Ryan #25 = Jack Ryan, Jr. #12
