Readers will hope for a more worthy foe in the next entry. Jack Ryan Jr., a member of the Campus, “an off-the-books quasigovernmental intelligence organization,” is mostly background noise, though Cameron introduces new Campus members, who are developed enough to merit their own series. An organized team of fanatical but well-trained terrorists, they seal off the entrances, turn the waterslide into a watchtower, and train their sights on the families below. The plot is singular, with few sub-plots, yet it’s at times difficult to follow due to the sheer number of characters involved which require their own POV in order to build tension. The writing is clean, simple, but a bit over descriptive at times.

Cameron skillfully depicts the audacious and bloody kidnapping, but it’s all in service of weak and contrived motives, which a last-second gotcha moment makes superfluous anyway. Marc Cameron’s thriller, Act of Terror, is a triller on par with James Patterson. In order to distract the president from ensuring its passage, Malhotra hires Señor Gil, the founder of the Camarilla, a secretive cadre of ruthless mercenaries, to abduct First Lady Cathy Ryan, among other no-less-violent crimes.
