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.
