Tom Clancy Terminal Velocity is all gas no breaks. From the Pacific Northwest to the Indian subcontinent, the intrigue is high, the action is hot, and the consequences of mission failure are dire. M.P. Woodward has delivered another absorbing Clancy-verse thriller, creating a sense of urgency to fly through each suspenseful page in a desperate attempt to see how it all unfolds.
A wave of brutal killings across the U.S. leads the FBI to a startling connection: the victims were all tied to a past mission that crippled a dangerous terror group, the Umayyad Revolutionary Council. Now, a new leader has emerged, seeking revenge. Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley authorizes the Campus to strike. John Clark sends ex-Delta operative “Midas” Jankowski on a mission to eliminate the threat deep in the disputed hostile mountain territory of Kashmir. But when the mission goes sideways, Jack Ryan Jr. must ditch the Indian wedding festivities he’s attending with his fiancée, cross the Himalayan wilderness with a battle tested Mujahadin fighter, save Midas and stop a global crisis before it ignites.
As you would expect, this latest Jack Ryan Jr novel is filled with kinetic action and covert ops that bring some of our all-time favorite characters into the mix to save the day…again. But it also feels timely and relevant with the disputed region of Kashmir in play and how a terrorist organization can thrive in that environment to create chaos between India and Pakistan, as well as the rest of the world. Throw in some relationship drama, deception, and life-or-death decision making and you’ll find yourself fully engaged and invested in the characters and the outcome. And the ending leaves a bit of a cliffhanger that provides multiple avenues for the future direction and development of Jack Ryan Jr. Leaving us readers eagerly awaiting the next book in the series and contemplating the many possibilities of what could happen next.
