Jack Ryan Jr. is on forced leave from his job with The Campus, a secret organization that works outside the government. While shopping one night someone tries to kill him and now he must find out who is after him and if it is attached to a former case, a random act, or because he is the son of the President.

As he delves into discovering who is after him, he must do so alone because he no longer has Campus resources. What he discovers is the founder of Rostock Security Group, an ex German Special Forces operator, Jurgen Rostock has a plan that could cause serious international damage if Jack Ryan Jr can't stop him in time.

Grant Blackwood is one of the two authors who have taken the reins and continued to write the characters created by Tom Clancy. This particular book was one of his better ones and I like the direction he is taking the character. I'm not a particular fan of the current girlfriend so, maybe it was that she is not a major part of the book. Though I do miss the other members of The Campus. Somehow she doesn't seem a good fit for the son of the President. But I digress, DUTY AND HONOR has all the hallmarks of a great thriller, intrigue, mystery and action. Jack Ryan Jr again proves he has some growing to do and it is good to see him finally realize it. Lets hope his time away from The Campus helped him grow and learn, now he can go back and work with the guys. Please....
