Fabulous read.
Another great riveting chapter in the Clancy series.
The youngest of President Jack Ryan's children, Kyle, is on an intelligence tech team in Angola, when they are ambushed. Kyle is the only survivor and makes it to safety in the American Embassy, following a harrowing chase through the back streets and alleys,
But the American Embassy is not as safe as he had hoped, as once again they are attacked by rebels and kidnapped.
A great read with familiar and new characters, as solidly introduced as ever and a story line that focuses on both Kyle, and the fine diplomatic line the President has to walk as father and leader simultaneously.
Impatient for the next chapter.

irst, I will love most any Ryanverse novel just because I've been into this whole world since the beginning. However, I REALLY liked the first two Andrews & Wilson Ryanverse books. This one, their last, while good was not as good as the first two. At times, there was just something missing that kept this book from being great. I DID like the focus on Kyle Ryan - the one Ryan we really haven't had much interaction with. I also love the increased emphasis on Katie Ryan. I hope with the new author taking over we don't lose traction on the invovlement of all the Ryan children.

Some minor issues I had also involved the conversation President Ryan would've had with Cathy about Kyle being missing - we don't see this. We barely even see Cathy in this book. Being as invested in this family as I am, I felt this was an important reaction and should've been something we witnessed.

Also, why does anyone not ever suggest that maybe President Ryan would need to step away from being in charge of a situation involving his child being a hostage. I'm not suggesting he would need to, but why didn't we see anyone even suggest it?

Overall I did really like this book and am sad to see Andrews and Wilson leave the series.

Thanks to G.P. Putnam and Sons and NetGalley for this ARC. #TomClancyExecutivePower #NetGalley

Executive Power by Andrews & Wilson, like classic Tom Clancy novels, continues to captivate me after years of reading Jack Ryan books. This fast-paced drama explores family vs. military responsibilities in a story with the entire Ryan family. Really like how the series has evolved to include the next generation. Hope this series continues.

Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson wrote a fantastic twenty sixth entry in the Jack Ryan series, it had that element that I enjoyed from the previous entries and enjoyed the overall concept of this book. The characters continued to feel like they were supposed to in this world and was glad it had that element that I wanted.

Review: The action sequence writing in this novel was incredible. I was riveted anytime there was a bang bang exchange. The tension and excitement leading to the conflict is just the right amount of time. Really, this author should just write a novel that is non-stop movement with ZERO interpersonal exchanges outside of a conflict.

Let me start by thanking Netgalley for this advanced copy in exchange for this review. What a ride. Tom Clancy introduced me to Jack Ryan a lifetime ago, and thankfully the franchise keeps going. This was a fast paced, real war possibility drama and a love story, maybe two. In one of the few stories that include the entire Ryan clan, Andrews and Wilson do a superb job demonstrating family vs military duties. No matter what your favorite genre, Executive Power has something for everyone.

I am always excited when a new book drops in the Ryanverse. I also get excited when it’s about Katie or Kyle, who we get much more of in this book. As much as we all love Jack and Jack Jr I think it is great the series is branching off to the other kids to get their backstories and their take on events. Overall, as any Ryanverse book, plenty of action and what seems to be current political ties into the present. Fun book and great story!

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
