A missing Chinese scientist, unexplained noises emanating from under the Arctic ice, and a possible mole in American intelligence are just some of the problems that plague President Jack Ryan in the latest entry in Tom Clancy's number-one New York Times best-selling series.

Aboard an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean, a sonar operator hears an unusual noise coming from the ocean floor. She can't isolate it and chalks the event up to an anomaly in a newly installed system. Meanwhile, operatives with the Chinese Ministry of State Security are dealing with their own mystery - the disappearance of brilliant but eccentric scientist, Liu Wangshu. They're desperate to keep his crucial knowledge of aerospace and naval technology out of their rivals' hands.

Finding Liu is too great an opportunity for any intelligence service to pass up, but there's one more problem. A high-level Chinese mole, codenamed Surveyor, has managed to infiltrate American intelligence. President Jack Ryan has only one choice: Send John Clark and his Campus team deep into China to find an old graduate student of the professor's who may hold the key to his whereabouts. It's a dangerous gamble, but with John Clark holding the cards, Jack Ryan is all in.

Lots of fast action with a plot that doesn’t require the reader to toss the reader’s ability to disbelieve out the window.

Had I not read the prefaced blurb I’d never have known this wasn’t an older book written by Clancy himself.
All the quirks & trivialities of a good Clancy story were there along with a great ending.

Lots of good info, and I am sure you all are still doing a lot of research for the book. As a writer of non fiction research or a good knowledge of your subject is critical. Mr, Clancy was not always spot But in his books either. But I never knew until he got into my specialty of explosives like grenades and such. But it made me suspect his other books, but it was still a very good read every time. You ventured into a lot of technical areas in this book, but seemed to keep in the realm of believability very well. Great job.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2021

A sonar operator captured a queer sound in the arctic ocean. At around the same time, DNI Foley informs the President Ryan about a missing Chinese scientist and their having a mole problem. It’s the beginning of “Shadow Of The Dragon.” The mysterious sound has been kicked up the Navy chain, and was analyzed as a possibility of a submarine in trouble. Foley assigned Adam Yao and Campus operators to search a Uyghur woman and her daughter for their protection. The Navy ordered available vessels rush to the scene, where missing submarine seemed to be stranded. The disabled submarine was found to be testing a newly developed stealth propulsion system in there. Chinese were desperately searching engineers concerned with this technology to prevent the idea flowing out of the country. The scene Chinese XO escapes in only an exposure suit from the stranded submarine is like seeing a deep sea adventure film. Marc Cameron spares the most part of the book for exodus adventure by Uyghur women and Campus operators. John Clark’s weather-beaten experience shines everywhere. Getting a devoted help from Wang Niu, Clark and an Uyghur girl made an exodus. Couldn’t identify, however, meeting with this old man being only a fluke, or having another hidden story in there. Cameron never forget to insert entertainment factor, like an unexpected meeting with JP, Chavez’s son, and Jack Jr.’s nature of easily taking a fancy, into the story. Mole hunter noticed their targets being plural. Cameron cautiously scatters hint of defectors in various occasions, I need to go back to the scene they first appeared for confirmation. Chinese assassin Fu Bohai’s arrogant and inhuman character stands for our hate to the country. BBC News reports recently, Mike Pompeo accuses China of its committing genocide in its repression of the Uyghur and other mainly Muslim peoples. Antony Blinken has said he agrees with this finding. Ryan’s resolute stance to Zhao in the closing chapter makes me feel as if a burden had been lifted off my mind. The book becomes good chance to think about people other than Han-tribe in that country and to re-consider our relation with them.

The Clancy Saga Continues, But Not At The Same Level As Before

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

It has been seven years since the fateful passing of one of the greats in the thriller genre, Tom Clancy. Yet, his estate, with multiple authors, keeps the Jack Ryan series alive their own novels, in addition to the off-shoot “The Campus” series involving protagonist turned United States President’s son, Jack Ryan Junior (Jr.). Graciously splashing the name of each novel switching between Ryan and his operative son, the era of Clancy continues to live on. In Shadow of The Dragon, Marc Cameron delivers another blend of the Ryan family in another attempt of covert operations and joint terrorism attempting to spurn the world and throw the United States into chaos, forcing the hand of John Patrick Ryan to do what he does best, and act appropriately. The writing, while superb by Cameron, falls short in the vein that the detail of previous novels may not be present and that the story moved quickly. While keeping true with the carousel of characters, old and new, it is clear that the stories are aging with the characters and that it brings to the question of when it all may come to an end. For now, readers can take comfort in reading the next story of the Jack Ryan juggernaut and be sufficiently pleased until the next round of novels in 2021.

Up to the usual standard

the convolutions between the different countries/organisations and their different characters keep your mind active.
The Campus operatives are slowly being replaced by gradual introduction of others who we'll probably see more of as the books progress with Jack Ryan Jr. taking a more leading role.
A thoroughly good read

A keen reader

tedious and fragmented

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

Starts with an accident on a Chinese sub which sounds promising. But then there are different story lines, including a mole in the US with it seems 30 different characters to keep track of. (there's a list in the beginning of the book, running to 3 pages...) President Jack Ryan barely features, and his son Jack Ryan Jr even less. Needless to point out, almost a all the Chinese characters are baddies, and all the US people are goodies, except for the mole. Tom Clancy's name should not be associated with this book -- Clancy wrote much better stories. And Jack Ryan should not e mentioned either.
The book is well-written, but does not engage. I only finished by skipping many paragraphs.

I really don't know how I managed to finish the book - other than wanting to get to the end that is. If it was a dessert you would call it stodgy, I found my self skipping whole paragraphs the plot and writing thereof was so geriatric.
