As mounting tensions between China and the United States push the
world's two great powers to the brink of war, it falls to President Jack
Ryan to identify the lethal chess master behind the scenes in this
thriller in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Jack Ryan is dealing with an aggresive challenge from the Chinese
government as the G20 Summit approaches. Pawns are being moved around a
global chessboard: an attack on an oil platform in Africa, a terrorist
strike on an American destroyer and a storm tossed American spy ship
that may fall into Chinese hands. It seems that Premier Zhao is
determined to limit Ryan's choices in the upcoming negotiations.
But there are hints that there's even more going on. A routine traffic
stop in rural Texas leads to a shocking discovery--a link to a Chinese
spy who may have intelligence that lays bare an unexpected revelation.
John Clark and the members of the Campus are in close pursuit, but can
they get the information in time?
