President Jack Ryan faces a global threat on the verge of going nuclear in this thriller in Tom Clancy´s #1 New York Times bestselling series.

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City. A package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr., and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don´t have...

The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. As the international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade, a young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the country´s nuclear ambitions, a program impeded by a lack of resources-until now.

A recently discovered deposit of valuable minerals has caused a dramatic change in the nation´s economic fortune. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage. There´s just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan...the elimination of the president of the United States.
