I prefer to go by release order vs chronological because there are inconsistencies sometimes with prequels and well, that’s how you had to read them when they were new.
For the Jack Ryan books:
The Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games
Cardinal of the Kremlin
Clear and Present Danger
The Sum of All Fears
Debt of Honor
Executive Orders
The Bear and the Dragon
Red Rabbit
Executive Orders is where I stopped. Cardinal of the Kremlin is my personal favorite, a great spy novel, great pacing. Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger next both far more detailed than the movies.
Clear and Present Danger is where he started to get way more complex and Debt of Honor was the “jump the shark” book for me. Still entertaining but not nearly as good as the early stuff

I think Patriot Games was first. Jack was a professor at Annapolis at the beginning and it's how he became a spook.

Definitely the crown jewel of Clancy's career.
