Publisher's summary

If there’s one thing Jack Ryan, Jr’s father taught him, it’s that freedom isn’t free, but nothing can prepare Jack for the price he must pay in the latest electrifying entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Jack Ryan Jr. is in a world of trouble. When a benign surveillance operation takes a deadly turn, Jack finds himself locked in a struggle with an unseen enemy bent on destroying the Campus. The chase leads Jack to the South China Sea where a midair collision between aircraft from rival nations threatens to serve as a flash point for the entire region. As Jack frantically tries to put the pieces of the conspiracy together, the Campus is hit with a crippling attack. When the dust settles, Jack is one of the few operators still standing and the Campus’s de facto leader. But the fight is just beginning.

As tensions escalate, Jack’s mysterious adversary executes a brilliant campaign to paralyze the American government even as China inches closer to invading Taiwan. With the odds stacked against him and no help in sight, Jack and his shattered team must stop the world’s two remaining super powers from stumbling into war even as the noose around the Campus grows ever tighter.
Every operation has a cost.

This time the bill might just be too much to pay.

Jack Ryan Jr at his BEST!!!

Bentley is in elite company as one of the handful of military thriller authors with a true gift for writing fully developed characters AND thrilling action, while incorporating bleeding edge technology and geopolitics. Flashpoint is an ambitious novel, because it tackles the highly kinetic and rapidly evolving East Asian theater. The book's title is both thematic and prescient, because the South China Sea and Taiwan straight are a tinderbox for naval engagement that could escalate rapidly out of control—which sets an undercurrent of tension and suspense throughout the entire novel.

The other aspect of this book that Clancy fans will love is Junior's continued evolution as a leader. Bentley has done a masterful job of taking the younger Ryan on a journey, from a inwardly focused, occasional hot head with an almost pathological need to step out of his father's shadow, to a man who is comfortable in his own skin and trusts his instincts. I think his relationship with Liasanne is part of that growth as Jack starting to recognize the importance of family and the values he's actually fighting for.

This review barely scratches the surface of the multiple layers and themes Bentley has working in this latest installment, which is a PERFECT Clancy thriller!

What happened to Midas He's not mentioned anywhere

overall not a bad Jack Ryan Jr series book. progress some characters. however the campus is reduced down to Jack's team and there's no mention of Midas anywhere in the book.

Good Story

Slow at first but picked up. Good character development but story implausible. Enjoyable but not his best work.

Fast paced and well performed.

Grabbed my attention from the beginning. The story line was plausible (yet predictable) but the narrative was so good that you want to "keep turning the page ".
