Description

Jack Ryan, Jr., will do anything for a friend, but this favor will be paid for in blood in the latest electric entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Jack Ryan, Jr. would do anything for Ding Chavez. That's why Jack is currently sitting in an open-air market in Israel, helping a CIA team with a simple job. The man running the mission, Peter Beltz, is an old friend from Ding's Army days. Ding hadn't seen his friend since Peter's transfer to the CIA eighteen months prior, and intended to use the assignment to reconnect. Unfortunately, Ding had to cancel at the last minute and asked Jack to take his place. It's a cushy assignment--a trip to Israel in exchange for a couple hours of easy work, but Jack could use the downtime after his last operation.
Jack is here merely as an observer, but when he hastens to help a woman and her young son, he finds himself the target of trained killers. Alone and outgunned, Jack will have to use all his skills to protect the life of the child.

LOTS of action … way on the too-much-to-be-remotely-credible side. LITTLE character development.
I’ll keep reading the series because I’m hooked, but disappointed that it isn’t better.

Worst Clancy Book ever

I’ve read almost every Jack Ryan/Jr book, sad it has gotten this bad.

Great build up to a whirlwind of excitement and action filled suspense! The unraveling had me pausing to get a cup of coffee to better accompany the plot as it threw surprise after surprise at me. Although the superhero and double “o” agent fusion portrayal of Jack Jr seemed a little off character, it was still exciting to read. If anything can be said to be missing is a more appropriate wind down from the action. Not only does it leave one panting as if just stopping mid sprint, it left some threads of the story hanging without closure. Feels like a mission debrief was in order after the mother of potential crisis has just been tamed! It feels like an epilogue or a closing chapter was somehow forgotten somewhere.

Not great writing…

A roller coast of a ride reading Don Bentley’s Target Acquired. Action throughout. Good storyline from the ground to the air. Locked and loaded.

Terribly written.

As captivating as jack ryan jr’s character is their was a disconnect. Unlike prior reads, there was no time spent with reviewing the perspectives of the story as seen by jack ryan sr. nor his comrades at the Campus. The story really lacked the perspective of including his father’s, the President as well as the DNA and his comrade Ding and his boss. Really missed the boat and I have read every Jack Ryan senior and junior book

Very disappointing. Bentley went way over the top with the Jack Ryan character making him look like super man. Even with being nailed to a cross, stabbed, shot, broken shoulder, still he managed to complete his unauthorized mission without flying like Super Man. However, there were some very good chapters as well that were page turners, most were just BLA!
Very disappointing.

Another Whiff

Why waste a whole book on another Jack Ryan screwed up adventure. He’s a small character in the Campus organization and goes rogue again! Too many coincidences and a simple plot line. At least take us in the world of the bad guys. These books have lowered down to a simple beach read.

Best of the Jack Jr Ghost Writers

Way too much time spent on ridiculous injuries suffered by the hero and his Superman ability to overcome them.

Poorly written

The worst! Jack Ryan Jr morphs into Duke Nukem, completely out of character.
