Description

When a catastrophic plane crash decimates the Capitol Building, killing the President and most of Congress, an unprepared Vice-President is suddenly thrust into the nation's highest office. Jack Ryan, a man who never sought political power, must navigate the impossible task of rebuilding a government from scratch while the nation reels from unprecedented tragedy. As adversaries around the globe—from Beijing to Tehran—sense weakness and prepare to exploit the chaos, Ryan faces mounting international crises that test not only his leadership but his very survival. With the world watching and enemies circling, he must find the strength and wisdom to hold a fractured nation together and confront threats that exceed even his darkest imaginings. Tom Clancy delivers a gripping political thriller that explores what happens when an ordinary man is forced to become an extraordinary leader in America's darkest hour.
