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.

Jack Ryan Jr at his BEST!!!
Revisado: 05-25-23
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!

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Simply Remarkable
Revisado: 08-05-21
A science fiction masterpiece addressing ethical, geopolitical, and existential questions that humanity must collectively face in the real world. Porter's narration is phenomenal and the characters Weir penned are both flawed and inspiring. The novel deserves the accolades and 4.9 rating it has with 50K reviews.

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

A heavy lift from a modern sage
Revisado: 01-24-19
I selected this book after reading Homo Deus, a profound book that left me intellectually comatose with nihilism. This well crafted philosophical exploration of purpose and being was a life preserver but... I m left wishing for more. It deserves a second and maybe third read. Thank you Mr Peterson for your courage and insight. Thank you for being a candle in a world of candle snuffers.
