______
The spies are being spied on . . .
When Jack Ryan Jr, on a highly secret, off-the-books Campus mission in Turkey, discovers that his team's every move is monitored, he knows that US intelligence has been fatally compromised.
Back in the States, President Ryan watches in horror as China's weakened leader bends to a war-mongering general intent on turning the East into a bloodbath. At the same time, America comes under cyber-attack from China, crippling government and military infrastructure.
President Ryan needs to act: a covert team must go in and neutralise these threats, and the Campus is the perfect fit.
Except a sinister figure known only as the Center is watching the Campus and Jack Ryan Jr's every move.
Any wrong step might just be their last . . .

I can't remember reading a book this fast ever since I first read "the hunt for the Red October" decades ago. The story lines are clever, the characters beautifully defined and (if your imagination is up for it) the action is awesome. It's amazing, how close to reality, this novel seems. I can only recommend to take some time off, as you won't be able to put it down.

Tom Clancy has yet again shown his fine skill of weaving an exciting novel around facts and realities. He maintains the right degree of detail, educating readers while not boring them. This novel also presents an excellent partnership of the formidable father-son duo that Jack Ryan Senior and Junior are.

A brilliant book. Typical Clancy mix of detail, cunning and an oh too realistic storyline.
