About this item

Surviving a helicopter crash in the Vietnamese Highlands is only the start of the challenges facing Jack Ryan, Jr., in the latest propulsive thriller of this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

The vibrant economy of the new Vietnam is a shiny lure for Western capital. Companies are racing to uncover ideal opportunities. Not wanting to be left behind, Hendley Associates has sent their best analyst, Jack Ryan, Jr., to mine for investment gold. And he may have found some in a rare earth mining company—GeoTech.

But a trip with a Hendley colleague to the Highlands to observe the company’s operations takes a treacherous turn when their helicopter is shot down. Some things haven’t changed, and Vietnam is still the plaything of powerful neighbors. The Chinese are determined to keep Jack from finding the truth about what exactly is being processed at the isolated factory.

Now Jack is in a race for his life. He’s got to stay one step ahead of a pack of killers while supporting his wounded friend. He’ll get no help from the government, because in the jungle, it’s the shadow state that rules.

A wonderfully written addition to the Jack Ryan Jr. collection. It stays true to the Tom Clancy previous books. The usual cast of characters from the Campus are included in another daring adventure that will keep you up late reading. You won't be disappointed, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good…but

Just started reading and is excellent as always. Jack just arrived in Saigon (I live here and refuse to call it HCMC lol ). Apparently he had drinks at the Landmark 81 and walks to the Caravelle Hotel, about an 8km walk but doable. Near the hotel he flags down a 3-wheeled tuk tuk taxi. Not possible as they don’t exist here. The 3-wheeled vehicles are used primarily for transporting everything from refuse to furniture but NOT people, e.g. ‘taxi’. He should’ve flagged down a xe om driver, a motorbike and driver for hire. Thought I’d clear that up ????????

5.0 out of 5 stars good guys, bad guys, and the jungle
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
Fans of Jack Ryan Jr. know that he's always going to outwit the bad guys. This time out, he's got to also outwit the perils of a jungle. A jungle in Vietnam with a lot of nasty mosquitos as well as a bunch of people who want him dead. He was in Vietnam to do due diligence but thought something was wrong with the company-turns out he was right. This takes some good turns and has a few surprises. It's topical (if a bit far fetched in some of the details). Don't worry if you haven't been following along because this will be fine as a standalone. Thanks to edelweiss for the ARC. A fast paced adventure that will leave you eager for the next one.
