Jack Ryan Jr. is back in the newest Tom Clancy installment, Target Acquired, written by the insanely talented Don Bentley. On assignment in Tel Aviv, Ryan Jr. runs head first into a Chinese assassin. Before long, Ryan Jr. is stuck in a game between America, Russia, and China.
It blows my mind that the Jack Ryan Jr. universe continues to be relevant after so many years, but at the hands of such incredible writers, like Bentley, the Clancy novels continue to be some of the finest books written. Bentley, as we’ve seen with his own novels, writes amazingly fast-paced action scenes, with relevant political intrigue.
As this novel focuses almost exclusively on Jack Ryan Jr., I missed seeing the other cast from The Campus. I do think this series has a ton of potential looking into the future. Bentley has done a terrific job at kick-starting it and will keep fans of the Clancy novels entertained and locked in.
