Publisher's Summary:
The U.S. president, unsatisfied with the success of his "war on drugs", decides that he wants some immediate success. But after John Clark's covert strike team is deployed to Colombia for Operation Showboat, the drug lords strike back, taking several civilian casualties. The chief executive's polls plummet. He orders that the unofficial plan be terminated, leaving no traces.
Jack Ryan, who has just been named CIA deputy director of intelligence, is enraged when he discovers that he has been left out of the loop. Several of America's most highly trained soldiers are stranded on an unfinished mission that, according to all records, never existed. Ryan decides to get the men out.

Great book, terrible audio quality.
When you listen to this book you want to check your tape player, and clean the head and rollers, but wait, you can't because it is a digital recording. The quality of the recording is horrible. The person who produced this version of the recording needs to be fired along with the quality assurance people who you would expect to be checking the recording. This is not a Audible problem, the MP3 recordings from Brilliance are the same horrible clipped compression. I bought the Hunt for Red October on MP3 cd and it has the same flaws. Someone should have caught this.
Hard listen
First I want to say this is a great book, in print! I spend my days driving and love to listen to books on my Ipod.
The first thing I noticed was the narrator talks like he is dictating a long letter. I do not think he ever takes a breath and he talks very fast.
Sometimes he moves from one chapter to the next without a pause and I get lost. I also find it hard to distinguse between characters because his voice never seems to change.
These things may not bother some people but this is a very long book and the narrator of a book can either make or break a book.
Computer Spliced Voice
Don't bother buying this book, the computer spliced voice is extremely anoying. I wish I could get my money back.
ROBOT VOICE
terrible voice. great book. for the first ten minutes i couldnt pay attention to the storyline because i was trying to accertain if i was listening to a computer running a text to speech program.
Starts slow but ends in riveting action.
I read this book in hardback. I was surprised at how long it took to set up the storyline. It took patience, I never cared for the mechanical details in Clancy's work and usually breezed by it as a reader.
However, his characters are so well developed and believable. After the ball finally got rolling in the second part of the reading, I could not stop listening. The action and suspense are nothing short of remarkable.
