About this ebook

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.
 

Ratings and reviews

Doesn't it bother anyone that the president of the United States' kid is running around getting shot at and gunning people down?? Is there any sense of the old Clancy novels that seemed to be so detailed and thought through, the details of planning.. I used to love that about his books.. Now it's just a B movie in word form.. Oh, and while I'm complaining about this book, and it's not only this book;, almost every action book I've read lately, the president of the united states some how seems overly involved in the situation.. right past the Sec Def. Right Past all the bureaucrats at the NSA, CIA, All military branches.. OMG, The president seems to have so much time to deal with a few people running around the world even if they currently present no threat at the current time? Well that's my rant.. took an interesting plot and over-run the book with mindless filler..

I enjoyed this book and couldn't stop reading it until, in the middle of chapter 1 I felt lost and realized pages were missing from the book, I kept reading it to see if it was just an error in the technology but it seemed that every chapter i read had more and more pages missing, please fix and I'll rate 5 stars

A real page turner that I only wish could come true as it involves the elimination of that maniac kid in North Korra.

About the author

A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October—the first of the phenomenally successful Jack Ryan novels—sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” 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.
