Mit modernsten technischen Mitteln bedroht der Terrorismus die zivilisierte Welt – und nur Jack Ryan und John Clark könnten sie retten. Ihr Ziel ist der sadistische Killer, der sich »der Emir« nennt. Ihn gilt es zu stoppen – tot oder lebendig ... Mit »Dead or Alive« legt Tom Clancy den lang ersehnten Höhepunkt seiner Romanreihe vor, die mit »Jagd auf Roter Oktober« begann. Kaum ein Autor befindet sich so auf der Höhe der Zeit, wenn es um Polit- und Technothriller geht.

Der »Krieg gegen den Terrorismus« ist weit von einem Sieg entfernt, doch scheint dieser Kampf für US-Präsident Kealty, den Nachfolger von Jack Ryan im Oval Office, keine Priorität zu besitzen. Der »Emir«, ein weltweit vernetzter Terrorist, der hinter den schändlichsten Terroranschlägen auf die westliche Welt steckt, konnte trotz vereinten internationalen Bemühungen bislang nicht dingfest gemacht werden. Und er plant weitere perfide Anschläge, die Amerika destabilisieren und das Grauen vom 11. September noch übertreffen sollen. Jetzt ist ihm der »Campus« , eine geheime Antiterroreinheit, auf der Spur. Im Verein mit den Neuzugängen John Clark und Ding Chavez erhält Jack Ryan jr. den Auftrag, den Emir herbeizuschaffen – tot oder lebendig ...

      Starred review from January 10, 2011
      After stumbling with The Teeth of the Tiger (2003), bestseller Clancy is back at the top of his game, aided by Blackwood (An Echo of War), with this update on the Jack Ryan story, both father and son. While the senior Ryan is sitting at home quietly penning his memoirs, the real action is taking place at "The Campus," the independent secret intelligence agency he set up when he was commander in chief. Jack Ryan Jr., who works for The Campus as a researcher, has, unbeknownst to his father, begun involving himself in field operations. Uppermost in the sights of The Campus is the deadly Emir (read Osama bin Laden), who has set in motion a new round of attacks. Jack Sr. is furious at current President Edward Kealty, whose liberal administration is stripping the CIA and other intelligence agencies of funding and manpower. In-depth research, continuous suspense, and scores of fascinating characters prove again why Clancy, the man who virtually invented this genre, reigns supreme in the crowded thriller field.

    • AudioFile Magazine
      Tom Clancy's first book in seven years brings together an all-star cast of his greatest characters, including Jack Ryan and ex-CIA agent John Clark, in a joint showdown with the world's most wanted terrorist. In a fast-paced, intense performance, actor Lou Diamond Phillips masterfully commands the pronunciation of names and locations and captures the accents of a myriad of characters. Jack Ryan joins his cousins at the "Campus"--a highly effective counterterrorism organization that operates outside the Washington hierarchy. While the first half is long on character development and conservative political musings, Clancy fans and those who enjoy military thrillers will be more than satisfied. B.C.E.
