About this audiobook

Debt of Honor ends as Jack Ryan is confirmed vice president minutes before a mammoth act of terrorism kills the President, most of his cabinet, all but a few members of Congress, the entire Supreme Court and all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Suddenly Ryan is President, which is where Executive Orders begins.

Ryan's responsibilities crush in on him. Where should he begin? He must calm a nation, pacify world leaders, arrange a massive funeral -- while he rebuilds a government as quickly as possible. But that's not all. Enemies abroad and at home see opportunities, and they'll soon present President Ryan with an unimaginable crisis. How will he tackle his greatest challenge ever?

Ratings and reviews

Thrilling story!! But the narrator ruined it. I literally fell asleep at the wheel listening to this doofus on the drive home from work. Thanks for detracting from my Clancy experience. That said, he has a career in curing insomnia!

the book isn't the issue here. its the narrator and the editing done to the audio files. I should not hear ever deep gasping breath the narrator takes. it seriously degrades the quality of the listening. so much so that I have to stop listening only after 30 minutes or so. Either have publish with a new narrator, or have someone go through and fix this. this is amateur hour.
