Two Tom Clancy novels in one collection.
Locked On
Although his father had been reluctant to become a field operative, Jack
Ryan Jr. wants nothing more. Privately training with a seasoned Special
Forces drill instructor, he's honing his skills to transition his work
within The Campus from intelligence analysis to hunting down and
eliminating terrorists wherever he can--even as Jack Ryan Sr. campaigns
for re-election as President of the United States. But what neither
father nor son knows is that the political and the personal have just
become equally dangerous. A devout enemy of Jack Sr. launches a
privately funded vendetta to discredit him by connecting the
presidential candidate to a mysterious killing in the past by John
Clark, his longtime ally. A shadowy mercenary team is dispatched to
capture the former Navy SEAL. With Clark on the run, it's up to Jack
Ryan Jr., along with Ding Chavez, Dominic Caruso, and the rest of the
Campus team, to stop a threat emerging in the Middle East: A corrupt
Pakistani general has entered into a deadly pact with a fanatical
terrorist to procure nuclear warheads, which can be used to blackmail
any world power into submission. With the breakneck speed and military
action scenes that have made him the premier thriller writer of our
time, Tom Clancy delivers a novel of high-tech warfare in which the
enemy within may be even more devastating than the enemy without.
Threat Vector
Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced
with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's
Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to
agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have
declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion
of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China's
ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of
powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to
protect the island. Meanwhile, Chinese cyber warfare experts have
launched a devastating attack on American infrastructure. It's a new
combat arena, but it's every bit as deadly as any that has gone before.
Jack Ryan, Jr. and his colleagues at the Campus may be just the wild
card that his father needs to stack the deck. There's just one problem:
someone knows about the off-the-books intelligence agency and threatens
to blow their cover sky high.
