About This Audiobook

Shadow of the Dragon, the thirty-first Jack Ryan Universe novel, weaves together three converging crises: a missing Chinese scientist, unexplained sonar phenomena beneath Arctic ice, and a mole potentially compromising American intelligence. John Clark leads the Campus team into China to find the scientist while the broader intelligence apparatus races to understand what is happening under the ice. Cameron writes in Clancy's tradition of tightly plotted geopolitical thrillers with technical specificity and institutional authenticity.

Scott Brick narrates the Jack Ryan Universe with the gravitas the franchise demands — his voice carries the institutional authority of the American national security apparatus without making the characters sound indistinguishable from each other. At just over thirteen hours the audiobook maintains the pace of a multi-thread thriller while honoring the series' commitment to plausible procedural detail.
