Tom Clancy Act of Defiance
The pulse-racing twenty-fourth instalment in Tom Clancy's groundbreaking, internationally bestselling Jack Ryan series
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionUS intelligence reports increasing turmoil within the Russian navy. Their most lethal submarine, the Belgorod, has inexplicably launched. Who authorised this mission? What objectives does it have? Most ominous of all, what armaments are concealed behind the enormous doors on the sub's bow?
This scenario starkly echoes a dangerous Soviet-owned sub, Red October, whose near-catastrophic mission was averted four decades ago by a youthful CIA analyst named Jack Ryan. Now, President Jack Ryan, commanding fleets of ships, squadrons of jets, and elite SEAL teams, faces a dilemma unlike any he has encountered before. Despite his immense power, he lacks critical insight into the Belgorod's commander's plans.
In a perilous twist, it falls to the younger generation of Ryans to undertake the clandestine operations necessary to uncover these secrets. However, in the deadly world of espionage and counter-espionage, every move comes with a cost. As the clock runs down, President Ryan may be forced to choose between national security and the safety of his own son. The tension mounts as personal and political stakes intertwine in a heart-pounding race against time.
