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.

Some People Ain't Gonna Like This One

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

A big part of the story is Chinese government officials persecuting indigenous Uyghur people under the pretext that they are inferior to Han Chinese. There's a scene where two bureaucrats visit an Uyghur home to inspect it on grounds that an absent family member--sister of the head of the household and mother of the child living there with her aunt--is a traitor to the People's Government. One of them takes a shower while there and pointedly leaves behind his bath soap for his Uyghur hosts' personal use, stating that Uyghur hygiene products aren't as good in terms of cleanliness. The little girl is outraged by this obvious bigotry, but her aunt in a stern it-is-what-it-is lecture cautions her against showing that outrage. If this sort of thing happened anywhere in the West, it would be condemned as systemic racism, but certain elements here in the West who have a lot of political power nowadays believe racism of any kind is practiced only at home in their own country.

Not as good as others

The hendley group sets out to find a scientist who has created a system which makes a submarine’s noise undetectable. In the Bering sea, there seems to be a submarine in trouble and the scientist is aboard.

The group is broken up into groups searching for a woman and her daughter. The CIA and FBI are searching for a mole who is giving secrets to China.

I thought the book was too scattered. It seemed folks were all over the place and the book didn’t flow easily. Mr. Cameron is an excellent author, not sure what happened with this book. It’s just not up to his usual writing.

Marc Cameron never disappoints

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this latest addition to the Jack Ryan books, and I am so glad Mr. Cameron has been tagged to continue this series. I have read all of Mr. Cameron’s books except the westerns ( on my kindle, unread) and I have enjoyed every one of them.
This book was interesting, I found myself going to the internet to learn about the Uyghurs. I had read some but this inspired me to do more research. I loved that there seemed to be different stories going on that all intersected at the end, I really enjoyed action sequences. Interesting characters, good and bad.
Mr. Cameron does not write a book that is not enjoyable. If you have not read his Jericho Quinn series and his Arliss Cutter series, you have some reading ahead of you. As far as continuing the Jack Ryan books and the Tom Clancy world of characters, I’m so relieved he has this!

Clark is now 75? Ryan in his 4th term?

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020

I really liked this book and it was really well-researched. It's hard to put it down once you get to the last 100 pages. Deep dive into culture and how the ChiComms subjugate ethnic groups and get away with it. Very real depiction and so believable. I'll buy them as long as they produce them. However, as much Jack Ryan novels have been a part of my life for over 30 years, at some point his continuing on as POTUS (pre Smart phones) is starting to strain credulity. The books keep up with the tech but it has been many moons since he defeated Ed Kealty and lots has changed in the world. I believe I had my brand new IPhone 2 at that time. How much longer can Foley, Arnie, and the loyal crew go on? Clark is 75 now? Chavez is 50? Damn. They can work in a lot once Jack and Kathy are out of 1600. Challenges to the Campus. Jack actually going on missions. Jr getting involved in politics? It can go on forever. As much as I believe John Patrick. Ryan was the greatest POTUS who ever lived, all good things have to come to an end at some point.

A Jack Ryan thriller

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

This author is definitely no Tom Clancy, but this author does keep you engaged from page to page. Tom Clancy just had writing style that grabbed you and did not let go until the last page of the book. The one thing I did like about this book was the research done on the indigenous people of China and their struggles. I am sure the incidents portrayed in the book happen all the time, but with the restricted access and government paranoia running rampant over there we never hear about it. It is too bad a government does this to their own people, in this day and age. The author could have just done a whole book on that issue itself and probably been able to fill a decent size book. And it still would have been enjoyable. Now the mole hunt and submarine story lines almost became side notes compared with the rest of the novel.

Linda Schmidt-

Marc Cameron creates a fun way to learn!

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020

Marc Cameron carries on the Tom Clancy tradition of exciting plot with lots of informative current events. In this President Jack Ryan administration, the free world’s leader must deal with communist China which is hiding a special submarine from the West. John Clark, Domingo Chavez and the team must go secretly to China to rescue a woman scientist who can help the stranded sub. The team travels over much of China and helps as well as is helped by the persecuted Uyghurs. Shadow of the Dragon is full of action and information

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.

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

Quite Boring

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.

Started well then became a little complicated, Marc obviously knows his weaponry and insight into military and politics. The plot was okay but the submarine was a bit of a RED herring. Not your best storyline. Jack Ryan played a backseat in this book of the series.
