Tom Clancy's Under Fire is the latest breakneck Jack Ryan Jr. adventure novel from one of Clancy's most successful collaborators: Grant Blackwood.

***
On a routine intelligence gathering mission in Tehran Jack Ryan, Jr. has lunch with his oldest friend, Seth Gregory, an engineer overseeing a transcontinental railway project. As they part, Seth slips Jack a key, along with a perplexing message.

The next day Jack is summoned to an apartment where two men claim Seth has disappeared, gone to ground with funds for a vital intelligence operation. Jack's oldest friend has turned, they insist, leaving Jack with a warning: If you hear from Seth Gregory, call us immediately, and do not get involved. But they don't know Jack. He won't abandon a friend in need.

Joined by Seth's primary agent Ysabel, an enigmatic Iranian woman who is his only clue to Seth's whereabouts, Jack's pursuit of the truth leads him across Iran, through the war-torn Caucasus, and finally deep into territory coveted by the increasingly aggressive Russian Federation.

Jack soon finds himself lost in a maze of intrigue, lies, and betrayal where no one is who they seem to be - not even Seth. It seems Seth has a secret of his own. A secret that is driving him to the brink of treachery.

Racing against the clock, Jack must unravel the mystery: Who is friend and who is foe? Before it's over, Jack Ryan, Jr., may have to choose between his loyalty to his friend and his loyalty to his country.

Another great story.

How close to the real truth is this story. Russian block country wanting independence, and what are they prepared to sacrifice to get it.

Jack's back but I really miss Tom

Reviewed in Australia on 3 September 2015

Verified Purchase

It's great to have another Jack Ryan novel to read but I have to say that I really miss Tom Clancy's writing style and prefer Mark Greaney. There was quite a lot of character detail that at times was a challenge to follow and it took a while to get going. It wasn't until the final third of the book that I found it so compelling that I had to keep reading chapter to chapter. Was still good to have a new Jack Ryan book to read and like the fact that Clark and Dom were still involved but lacked the good old depth and colour that we are used to. Still worth a read but I set the bar high, hence the two stars.

Crushing disappointment!

Reviewed in Australia on 6 January 2017

Verified Purchase

Having just finished Full Force and Effect by Mark Greaney and loved every minute, I anticipated another Clancy Proxy stunner. The storyline was so confusing, characters so shallow, Ryan Junior so maverick and Campus characters so absent or late arriving I really struggled to finish it. I thought it was me and my failure to follow or that I'd Clancy overdosed, but reading other reviews I had to add my voice.

This book was a bit of a fizzer. The bad guy was responsible for lots of deaths but the good guys met him several times during the book and could have "offed" him. In the end all that happened was that he lost his job. Big deal!

Extremely weak plot, not well written.
Need a different writer. I was very disappointed as I had been looking forward to the new Tom Clancy. Will not go down this road again.

Good Ryan storyline

Good story line in Ludlum style. I prefer the full team together rather than focus on Jack but this has the political thriller and suspense we enjoy. A good read.

I couldn't keep going with this one. Workmanlike, well written, but just another day in the office for Jack Ryan. What that man has been through!

I got to chapter 10 and skipped to the end ... a Tom Clancy novel masquerading as a police procedural - unconvincing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2016

Verified Purchase

I got to chapter 10 and skipped to the end. Not because I was dying to know the ending, but because it was such a boring book I just wanted to find out what happened before binning the book.

Oh dear. This is what happens when you turn a Tom Clancy novel into a police procedural. It sticks out like a badly-made bed in the canon of Jack Ryan Jr books. It is so different from the rest of the series it must have been an experiment to see how far you can push your readership into accepting something that is off-piste in terms of style and pace.

Maybe this is a more realistic take on the cloak-and-dagger world, but I found it unduly complicated and I got lost after the first few chapters. The plot was unconvincing. I never quite understood why Jack Ryan Jr felt so strongly about his friendship with Seth who I wanted to double-tap because he had "trouble maker" written all over him from the start. Ysabel started off as what I thought was the potential love interest and ended up as an operative with good tradecraft.

And it was boring. I wish I'd read the reviews before I bought this book and not succumbed to my need to read all the Jack Ryan Jr books because the early ones were so fantastic. My only consolation is that I bought it second-hand and so didn't pay full price.

Ryan jnr one man killing machine!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2019

Verified Purchase

A long rambling story of Jack Ryan going solo. I have decided that the attraction of the series was because he was part of a team - in this book he turns into a ‘superman’. Unrealistic plots, one moment in east Europe and then skips over to Scotland and in a week discovers and saves s kidnapped daughter of a prominent politician. Given the story the hero should be the IT chap back at base who provided all the answers, sorted out CCTVs in hotels, cracking codes. A disappointing book which far too long.

Mediocre

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Lacked a lot of the usual Clancy-esque type of story telling. Not very fast paced and the usual disparate story.lines all coming together at the end, just didn't materialise.
The main character just isn't his Dad, or Clarke, or even Dom.

Disappointing in every respect

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2015

Verified Purchase

The first Blackwood novels continued with the great Tom Clancy characters, and the style was very similar to the earlier books in the series. This book has lost the plausibility that was the Clancy trademark, and has some ridiculous sections. Errors have crept in. Grant, FYI an OBE is a minor honour, awarded to successful sportsmen and women, popular entertainers and charity workers. To refer to a fifty pound note and a fifty pound bill is careless. Why invent a country? Weak plot, not worthy of Clancy
