Description
This electrifying thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series has President Jack Ryan and his allies facing a treacherous foe threatening to unleash chaos around the globe...
When Russian President Valeri Volodin’s ambitions are foiled in Dagestan, he faces a difficult choice. The oligarchs who support him expect a constant flow of graft, but with energy prices cratering, the Russian economy sputters to a virtual halt. Unable to grow the Russian market at home, his hold on power relies on expansion abroad—a plan that has been thwarted by the United States in the past.
But this time Volodin has determined that an indirect approach is the best. A floating natural gas facility in Lithuania is blown up. A Venezuelan prosecutor is assassinated. A devastating attack on a Russian troop train kills dozens. A chaotic world is the best camouflage for a series of seemingly unrelated attacks.
Only one man recognizes an ominous pattern in the reports of terror from around the globe. U.S. President Jack Ryan sees a guiding hand in the worldwide chaos, but before he can act he needs proof.
While his intelligence agencies race to uncover the truth behind the attacks, the President struggles to unite a fractious and distrustful coalition of Western nations against the schemes of the Russian dictator.
With five thousand Russian troops poised to invade a NATO nation, can Jack Ryan move swiftly enough to stop Volodin’s grand plan of global conflict and conquest? Or will he succeed in changing the balance of world power forever?

5By Kidney diseaseOld friends in a fast-paced, well-written adventure.Missing Pieces
4By Cdlester2Definitely not Clancy but still an overall good book. Author seemed to jump through and over parts of the book and kind of left you out to dry.Not Clancy
4By Shordan1A fairly good read but not Clancy. Tends to move a bit slow here and there.Commander In Chief
4By Bad Habit :)))A page turner. As in the previous books of this series, exciting as always. Hope the series continues.Commander-in-Chief
5By JPB 9871Excellent! Almost as good as Clancy at his very best.Commander in chief
5By farnswdA good readCould’ve been so much more
1By Bxa312This read like an outline of the real story, and would have been great had it been written like Red Storm Rising. Gone is the detail about military hardware and tactics so loved in the early Clancy books, instead we get an armed conflict — with a love story intertwined — driven by character study rather than action.Commander in Chief
2By Corrales JackDisappointing. Definitely not on a level near books written by Tom Clancy. I won't read another Mark Greaney Tom Clncy book.Another win
5By MegaflyaaThe Ryan's continue to excite and defend the nation!Read only if you are from a War College
2By NaplesnutVery disappointed in a book that is not a real Tom Clancy novel. Forget about a gripping spy novel and be ready for tiresome pages on war and political jargon. There is a story hidden among these chapters but there is too little of it.Action Packed from Cover to Cover
5By Cyber_GruntGreat read, keeps you at the edge of your seat!Negative review
4By SouzahamI'am observing negative reviews on books that have not even been published. Consider the source...Under Fire
1By 54Fytng12The person writing the Jack Ryan story is not even close to Tom Clancy, so if you are looking for a Tom Clancy book you better buy his older books. This book was horrible, I will not be duped in to buying another one
