Summary Jack Ryan, Jr.'s race to stop an international criminal conspiracy is intertwined with the fate of an old friend in this blistering entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. The CIA's deepest secrets are being given away for a larger agenda that will undermine the entire Western intelligence community. Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley wants it stopped but doesn't know who, how or why. Jack Ryan, Jr., is dispatched to Poland on a different mission. The clues are thin, and the sketchy trail dead ends in a harrowing fight from which he barely escapes with his life. If that's not bad enough, Jack gets more tragic news. An old friend, who's dying from cancer, has one final request for Jack. It seems simple enough, but before it's done, Jack will find himself alone, his life hanging by a thread. If he survives, he'll be one step closer to finding the shadowy figure behind the CIA leak and its true purpose, but in the process, he'll challenge the world's most dangerous criminal syndicate with devastating consequences. Suggestions and more Trade Reviews Booklist ReviewSince Maden has taken the job of writing the Jack Ryan Jr. novels, originated by Tom Clancy, he has been adding substance to the series. His latest is no exception. A dear friend whom Ryan has not seen in some time asks to see him. Cory is dying of cancer and requests a favor. Ryan agrees to help, and Cory dies a few hours later. The favor involves finding a CIA agent who is leaking vital intelligence to a criminal organization with a bold plan for world domination. The one thing the bad guys didn't count on was Ryan. Drawing effectively on characters and story lines from the Clancy oeuvre, Maden adds top-notch action and excellent pacing to the mix. Fans of black-ops thrillers who may question the idea of continuing a deceased author's stories should make an exception for Maden.--Jeff Ayers Copyright 2019 Booklist Map It First Chapter or Excerpt Fiction/Biography Profile Large Cover Image Series Librarian's View Displaying 1 of 1
