Jack Ryan Jr. finds that the scars of war can last a lifetime in this
entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Twenty-six years ago, Dr. Cathy Ryan restored the eyesight of a young
Bosnian girl who had been injured during an attack in the Bosnian War.
Today, her son Jack Ryan, Jr. has agreed to track down the young woman
and deliver a letter from his mother. What he finds shocks them both.
The helpless child has grown into a remarkable woman. Aida Curic is a
self-possessed beauty with a big heart and an even bigger secret who
runs a controversial refugee agency near Sarajevo. Jack finds himself
deeply drawn to both her and her country, but soon finds himself in the
crosshairs of the seething ethnic tensions and ancient blood feuds of
the Balkans, the region of Europe where empires go to die. If Jack can't
navigate the world of secret service agencies, special operators and
local mafias to save Aida, Sarajevo will prove the be the fuse that
lights the next world war.
