THE EXPLOSIVE NEW THRILLER IN THE BESTSELLING JACK RYAN SERIES
When brilliant and eccentric scientist Liu Wangshu disappears from his apartment in China, the Ministry of State Security is furious, and certain they know what's happened:
A defection to the Americans.
President Jack Ryan knows how valuable an asset Liu would be - responsible for much of China's recent technological progress, his latest project rumoured to be the biggest yet.
The problem is that none of Ryan's team have any idea where Liu is.
And what's worse, Ryan discovers that China is already watching them closely: A mole, code-named SURVEYOR, has managed to infiltrate US intelligence, with a terrifying level of access.
The new Cold War is about to get very hot indeed . . .

A gripping thriller in Tom Clancy's internationally bestselling Jack Ryan series - inspiration for the blockbuster Amazon Prime television series.
On a crowded tourist beach in Portugal, US operatives use a high-tech drone to watch a French arms dealer flirt with a beautiful woman. It's only when she leaves that they realise she has shot him dead.
In Iran, protests are growing against the oppressive regime, whipped up by a charismatic student. Most external observers are excited, but on the ground a spy of questionable loyalty senses something is badly amiss.
And meanwhile, with the United States reeling from a string of natural disasters, Russian troops and ships are massing on the borders of the Ukraine, bringing the two powers ever closer to war.
Across the globe a conspiracy is brewing, so darkly brilliant that no-one has yet joined the dots. And the distracted President Ryan has little time to play catch-up: little does he know that he faces a madman with a plan more devastating than he could possibly imagine...

It was a text message that started it.
President Jack Ryan's old friend (and former operative) Father Pat West warns of a honey trap, a possible murder and a secret AI project - Calliope - falling into Chinese hands, before going silent.
This leaves Jack Ryan with two pressing problems.
Firstly, find and rescue his old friend, last seen in Indonesia. And secondly, discover what exactly Calliope is and how much of a threat it poses.
But it's not the danger you see that catches you out.
It's the one you never see coming . . .
