The story started slow, but I was determined to continue. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? The narration at the beginning did not grab, but by the end the narration was more on point. I can't put my finger on why this story seems to start slow. Still he's not as good as some other narrators.ĭid the narration match the pace of the story? Still, he is easy to understand and his pacing and pronunciation were very good. Many of his "voices" sound very similar, and at times it's difficult to keep track of which character is speaking, especially in a 3-way "conversation". The narrator, Michael Prichard, was competent, but undistinguished. The operation itself is described with an enormous amount of detail, from the planning, supplies, strategy, tactics, and of course, weapons. The political infighting is fascinating - a study in personal gain, leverage, and back-stabbing. This is a fine story about America's attempt to use a covert military operation to stem the drug trade from Columbia, an action sanctioned by the president during an election year. Also, as you might guess from the review headline, I think Jack Ryan makes a great hero character. I like the military, political and even the personal intrigue. I love the jargon, the level of detail, the technology described so completely. Preface: I have been a fan of Tom Clancy novels long before I started audiobooks.
