The plot was hard to follow and very frustrating to read. The story continued to rotate around the characters without any resolution; going from one country to the next and finally back again. The story didn't advance any further than when I began the story and left me with too many unanswered questions - ending with a cliffhanger for the next book.
This is my first 3-star review for Jack Noble, and it looks like I'll be looking for a new hero as the Noble mystique seems to have vanished.

Book Review - Right out of the gate, “Noble Ultimatum” by Author L.T. Ryan will grab you and keep the reader fully immersed. The story is another action-packed thriller that was quick, engaging and had lots of twists and turns. Following the assassination of a regular CIA character, main character Jack Noble disappears because the CIA wants him for the murder of that character. They don't want to bring Noble in to find out what happen, they – the CIA are in full attack mode, and they just want him dead! Outmanned and outgunned, Jack Noble, wanting to clear his name, faces the toughest challenge of his career, running from the CIA! And to make things worse, another shadowy agency is after him and his partner Bear Logan for no unknown reason. Ryan tells an explosive tale of hunt and chase interwoven with lots of blood and dead bodies during the adventure. Ryan is known for writing some extremely aggressive action scenes and in this story, there is plenty. He also surprised me with incorporating a little romance in this story as well. Always against the wall, Jack Noble and Bear Logan always seem to find their way out of trouble in this series. Noble Ultimatum, book 13 of the series, is no different. Very exhilarating storyline but the ending concluded with some loose ends. I’m not a fan of cliffhanger endings but I will most likely read the next Jack Noble book just because I enjoy this series, very solid and robustly entertaining.

The problem?Skinner covered his tracks well.Now time is catching up to Jack as well as to the people he holds dear. Most will live, but not all. Non stop action!!!! Another excellent read in this series!!

Don't Buy!!! -- One too many in series.
Poor writing. Sad story compared to prior books. Story line was uninspired; boring; segments contradicted other segments; decisions Jack made clearly made no sense for the character, built personality; and no it did have depth.
If you buy this book--anyway, after reading this review, consider yourself leaning toward masochism.
You were warned...

A lot to unpack here. Somebody is trying to kill Jack. Maybe several different somebodies. No surprise there. Maybe one of those groups is trying to protect him. Maybe. Somebody is also trying to kill Bear. If he is in danger, that means Mandy is too. She has become a very strong willed young lady at only 13. On top of that Clarissa is being accused of stealing $200,000,000. There is no proof that she did, but she needs to find out who did do it so she goes off grid. One thing she is good at is disappearing. Clive and his group want Jack and Bear to find her, so they can protect her. But is that the real reason? Bear takes a beating in this one. If you have like the Jack Noble series, you should love this one!

Not sure why I keep reading these books. While being potentially a good read, it is hard to follow. The plot seems to wander all over the place. Not wander, jump. As usual it is difficult to know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Clive seems to start out as a bad guy, then ends up helping out with his people and tech. Maybe it’s Jack’s paranoia that creates this doubt. This story, we still don’t know who the top bad guy is. If we do, then I missed it. One thing stands out: I pity the person who has to ride more than a couple of miles on a Vespa.

Too many questions, not enough answers
L.T.Ryan has done it again! Jack Noble finds himself running from a group who want him dead; he finds Bear in a hospital going through recovery which leaves him with limited abilities. Every corner, every hallway brings trouble, painful encounters, lots of blood. Where does he go to find help? Keep reading, the story slowly unfolds: more questions, more trouble.

Sloppily written and edited
Boring, circuitous plotline made worse by poor editing (as examples - the word breath instead of breathe; and who can spell Mick Jagger as Mic?!). Seemed very sloppily written, and I didn’t enjoy it, especially the supposed cliffhanger ending. Will take a lot to make me want to pick up another book in this series, and I’ve read almost all of them to date.

Jack Noble on the run for the entire book
A good outline of how to stay hidden in a world of constant surveillance. With plenty of descriptions of hand-to-hand combat winding up with dead bodies on the floor. I kept wondering where I was headed following Jack in this book. And when I finally reached the contrived surprise ending I did not know where I was at. And, spoiler alert, Jack does not know what he is getting into next.

Needless to say this was excellent and sad at the same time . I felt so sorry for Bear. He lost Sasha and almost lost Mandy. But that's to Clive and Sadie to the rescue. Unfortunately the whole story involving Jack, Clarissa and Beck remainsa mystery. There is 200 mi)ion reasons for things continue to go wrong for everyone. So we shall see whats next. 10 stars plus. Great story!!! Thanks, Carl Clause

Confused!
Guess you can say that I am not used to a story that's ending with more questions than answers, but that's what this story did for me. Started out great, picking up after Frank Skinner execution. The story was leading somewhere where I assumed the answers to Clarisa demise would eventually be answered. Who were the people targeting them and for what. Guess this story leads to buy the next installment if you want the answers!

Noble Ultimatum by LT Ryan
This was the 12th book in Jack Noble series that I read. Pretty hectic with lots of action situated mostly in Europe. Both Jack Noble and Bear (Riley Logan) end up seriously injured but not fatally. Jack is sort of getting to a normal life routine with his daughter Mia but is sucked back Into another mission in which Clarissa’s life could be in danger.

Fast-paced, action-packed thriller!
This story is full of intrigue, suspense, and surprises. Jack Noble and Bear Logan are being hunted by several different groups of people. Bear had a tumor and part of another tumor removed from his brain. Unfortunately the remaining part of the tumor could not be removed because it was to close to his brain stem and spinal cord. Clarissa is now being hunted because it is believed that she stole two hundred million dollars. L.T. Ryan writes this book in a most compelling way that holds your interest to see what will happen next. I could not put down this book; it was amazing! Jack and Bear are lovable characters, and you will want to see how this story unfolds. Looking forward to the next book! Happy reading! 😊

Lookout! Cause you won't see it
Another great rollercoaster ride with Jack and the gang. There were so many twists and curves to this story that I had to reread just to keep the story straight. If you love Jack, Bear, Mandy and Shasa don't miss this heart jerker. Sorry, you will have to read to find out what happened.

Jack Noble in Trouble
Jack Noble has been hiding from the CIA. He has been found to be a threat by someone, and they are hunting him down. During the chase, many are maimed, killed or kidnapped. Some are friends, some are enemies. There is a lot of action, and a cliff-hanger ending. ENJOY!

Well worth the wait!
Well, thank goodness! Finally, another Jack Ryan novel! It's well worth the wait. It's been so long since I read the last one,I almost couldn't remember some of the other places and characters from all the other Jack novels that I have read! And you will need them all. This is one of the best ones I've read and I like all of them an awful lot!

Jack is baa-aack!! (along with the whole crew). Another great read; fast paced, great suspense, great inter-play between the characters. The only trouble with L.T. (good trouble), is that he has many different "series", so the the gap from one book the next, in a particular series, can be frustratingly long :-)

Surprisingly Good
This was not your everyday Jack Noble book. This was quick, engaging and had lots of twists and turns. Part 1 of 2 so unclear how they will wrap us a bunch of the loose ends. Bear and Mandy end up in a life together so that turned out well in the end. Worth the read to see how all if this ends for Jack and Clarrisa.

L.T.Ryan——Thank you
I’m thoroughly exhausted. Not from running a marathon,but from reading non stop. This was a grueling adventure with my blood pressure going up,up,up. I am so hooked on Jack and Bear.
I highly recommend you begin with book one. If that one doesn’t grab you, don’t bother with the others. Your loss!!!!

Jack is back!
Ryan just keeps Jack going, great story! Can't wait to read the next one. Bring it on. Always like to read about Jack. Fast paced running just a step ahead of the 9mm that was fired two seconds ago Jack is almost history so many times. I know you'll enjoy this one IF you are a Jack fan. Enjoy.

Missed a few stories
I read the first 2-3 Jack Nobles, but reading this I find myself lost. Hadn’t heard of Clarissa, Sasha, Mandy etc.
The storyline is great, as usual, but would like to see the complete list of Jack Noble books.
And for my fellow readers; do read them in sequence.

Jack On....
the run. Bear, Sasha, Mandy and Clarissa all involved in whomever is after Jack. Jack is trying to do the right thing but first an innocent reporter is killed by a sniper, then others die. Bear is seriously hurt. Jack is going to find out which is behind the attacks.

Amazing! Simply amazing.
It’s been quite a number of years since I started reading the Jack Noble series, and the spinoff series, but by the third chapter I was hardcore into this book and the whole Noble, Logan fight for right. Kudos to @LTRyan for keeping it true the very end!
Oh goodie, hopefully book 14 is out and I can’t wait to start reading “Bear & Mandy Logan”! WOOt!

Gaps
Or abracadabra, poof! Except I didn't sign up for hand waving.
Too many unanswered questions , lots of concussions and silent looks. Although several characters supposedly know, wé're left without knowing who or why. And Jack just lets them drop it?

These are some of my favorite books. I love Jack Noble and all the other characters too. There is so much action and suspense it’s hard to put these books down. Can’t wait for another one.

Jack and Bear are unsure who they can trust!
This is another action-packed thriller that will keep the reader fully engrossed. Right out of the gate, this story will grab you. Looking forward to the next in the series.
