Tom Clancy: Pressure Depth
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where were you, and what were you sipping or snacking on, when this book first grabbed you and wouldn't let go?
Jack Ryan Jr. has been around for 15 books now. Is there a long-running character, from books, TV, or film, who feels like an old friend you keep checking in on?
Thrillers can leave us tense, but they can also comfort us. Was there a moment in the book when you felt yourself relax, or a scene that felt like a warm spot in the cold?
The people in this story depend on each other when things get hard. Who in your own life is the person you'd want next to you when everything goes wrong?
A 'routine' mission turns out to be anything but. Can you share a time when an ordinary day in your life surprised you, for better or worse?
The title evokes deep water and heavy pressure. What helps you stay steady when life feels like it's pressing in, and did any character's way of coping speak to you?
Without giving away how things unfold, was there a choice a character made that moved you or stayed with you after you closed the book? What about it touched you?
By the final pages, how did you feel about the world these characters work so hard to protect? Did you come away more worried, more hopeful, or somewhere in between?
