Noble Beginnings by L.T. Ryan
3.0
I liked this book mainly because I'm really interested in the military thriller genre. However, this book lacked the complexity and character development of the earlier Tom Clancy novels.
There was a lot of action, but not all of it felt realistic. Jack got into a conflict in *every* scene he was in and got out of them too unscathed. A bullet wound was stitched up and then that person was running around almost like nothing happened just hours later.
That said, I'm still likely to read the rest of the series. I have a feeling that I'll rank it below Clancy, and below the Mitch Rapp series, but I have hope that some of the initial flaws will be worked out as the series continues.

And the situation with his ex, Jessie? Something to do with his job broke them up 5 years before this story and she was like, "Oh well, he's here now, let's pick right back up with no discussion whatsoever!" That just doesn't ring true. Also, that she'd just leave her job, house, and all of her possessions without a single backward look? Not likely.That said, I'm still likely to read the rest of the series.
