Book Description

President Jack Ryan faces a world crisis unlike any he has ever known. Newly elected in his own right, Jack Ryan has found that being President hasn't got any easier. Domestic pitfalls await him at every turn, there's a revolution in Liberia, the Asian economy is going down the tubes, and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR, the former KGB, with a rocket propelled grenade. Things are unstable enough in Russia without high level assassination, but even more disturbing may be the identities of the potential assassins. Were they political enemies, the Russian Mafia, or disaffected former KGB? Or Ryan wonders, is something far more dangerous at work.
