The gripping new thriller in Tom Clancy´s Jack Ryan Jr series - the inspiration for the Amazon Prime hit-series Jack Ryan.
On a remote island off the coast of Argentina, a team of elite counter-terror commandos prepare to assault a newly-discovered Hezbollah hideout.
What they don´t expect is to be brutally ambushed themselves - slaughtered with no survivors. And what they don´t realise is that, on screens around the world, the enemies of the West are watching.
Back in Washington DC, the growing obstruction in the Senate has reached crippling levels, as a crucial treaty to strength NATO in Eastern Europe is inexplicably blocked.
Suspecting that key politicians may have been compromised - but aware of the explosive consequences of making such accusations in public - the President dispatches Jack Ryan Jr to Poland to investigate.
In Warsaw, Jack partners with beautiful and brilliant Polish agent Liliana Zaleski, and it´s not long before they find evidence of a tangled web of corruption.
But what Jack and Liliana don´t realise is that this conspiracy stretches further than they could ever have imagined, and the danger has already crept terrifyingly close to home... Praise for Tom Clancy: ´Constantly taps the current world situation for its imminent dangers and spins them into an engrossing tale´ New York Times
´Heart-stopping action . . . entertaining and eminently topical´ Washington Post
´A virtuoso display of page-turning talent´ Sunday Express
