Description
FOR JACK RYAN, THE GREATEST THREAT LURKS BENEATH THE WAVES . . . AGAIN
Tom Clancy Act of Defiance plunges us into a high-stakes world where a Russian superweapon poses an unprecedented threat beneath the waves. President Jack Ryan must devise a countermove in this thrilling new entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
US intelligence reports unrest within the Russian navy. Startlingly, their most lethal submarine, the Belgorod, has launched without prior notice. Questions arise: Who authorised this departure? What mission compels its journey? And, most alarmingly, what do the enormous doors at the sub's bow conceal?
It's been forty years since a similar occurrence involving the Soviet sub, Red October, ended fortuitously, owing to the then-young CIA analyst, Jack Ryan.
Currently, President Jack Ryan commands fleets of ships, squadrons of jets, and teams of SEALs, yet he lacks crucial insight into the Belgorod's commander's strategy. The responsibility falls on a younger generation of Ryans to undertake the perilous tasks necessary to uncover this information.
Ultimately, the stakes are high. As the final moments approach, Jack Ryan may face an agonising decision: the safety of his nation or the safety of his child?
