Description
Tom Clancy's bestselling back-list titles in a modern livery for 2013 President Jack Ryan faces a world crisis unlike any he has ever known. Being President isn't getting any easier. Domestic pitfalls await him at every turn and in Moscow someone may have tried to take out the chariman of the SVR with a rocket-propelled grenade. Even more disturbing may be the identities of the potential assassins. Were they the Russian Mafia, disaffected former KGB or something far more dangerous at work? Even while Ryan dispatches his most trusted eyes and ears to find out the truth, forces in China are moving ahead with a plan of audacious proportions. If they succeed, the world will never look the same. If they fail... the consequences will be unspeakable.
Author Biography
Thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. But he had always dreamed of writing a novel, and his first effort, The Hunt for Red October, catapulted on to the New York Times bestseller list. From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
