| | | Clancy takes a bold look at what our nation's leaders are calling "the new world order". A world at peace, where yesterday's enemies are tomorrow's allies. The players are National Security Advisor Jack Ryan and his CIA colleagues. The crisis is a chain of events in which the wages of peace are as complex and devastating as the wages of war.
Annotation:
At the president's request, Jack Ryan returns to national service as the U.S. security adviser. But Ryan's two years as a civilian have left him woefully out-of-touch with the ever-changing world of international relations. As he struggles to learn current approaches to foreign policy, Ryan must contend with a terrorist attack orchestrated by a Japanese businessman whose family was destroyed during World War II.
| Author Bio| Tom Clancy | | An insurance executive well into his late 30s, Tom Clancy first hit fame and fortune with the spy thriller "The Hunt for Red October", the sales of which soared when President Ronald Reagan called it a personal favorite. Though Clancy was never a military man himself, due to poor eyesight, he closely studied declassified military documents and used the technical information he gleaned from them to write his best-selling thrillers. Most of Clancy's novels feature ex-marine Jack Ryan, an intelligence analyst working with the CIA. Often the reluctant hero, Ryan battles foes such as international terrorists and powerful drug lords, often finding himself deeply immersed in the high-stakes world of espionage. |
