I am a huge Jack Ryan fan. I love the characters in the Amazon Prime Jack Ryan series and in the movies, so I thought I would give one of the books a try. I looked up the order of the books and Without Remorse came up as the first in the series chronologically, so I thought I would begin with it. That being said, Jack Ryan is just a side character in this series, and I am assuming he becomes more prominent in some of the other books. Sadly, I was underwhelmed by this book. I did not connect with the protagonist, John Kelly, and there were so many subplots I found the book hard to follow. I enjoyed the main plotline but found myself skipping over the portions of the book that dealt with the other plotlines. This book was just okay to me. I do plan to read the next book in the series eventually because I am hoping when Jack Ryan becomes the main protagonist, I might like the books a bit better; however, if the movie adaptations of the other books follow along the same lines as this one, the books are nowhere near the same as the movies.
