Tom Clancy Under Fire: (Jack Ryan Jr. Novel) | Summary & Analysis

This is a Summary & Analysis. Grant Blackwell, follows Jack Ryan, Jr., as he navigates the world of semi-official espionage in the Middle East. An easy read, it offers entertainment for casual readers, a bit more insight into the Clancy world for long-time readers and an easy point of entry for new readers.

The novel follows Jack Ryan, Jr., as he is swept into missions not of his own choosing, first seeking out a suddenly-vanished friend and then working to secure that friend’s own operations against interference from a presumed ally. Those operations end up working out optimally, offering some hope that matters in an unstable and too-little-attended part of the world can be made to work out for the betterment of people, increasing self-determination without overt conflict and violence. It is a message that needs more repetition in an all-too-harsh world.
It is an entertaining, undemanding read, a suitable way to pass an idle day. It continues to operate in a milieu made popular and successful by Clancy without focusing overly much upon the “major” characters.
