Jack Ryan's ally, ex-navy seal John Clark, must fight an unimaginable new threat to global safety. Newly named head of an elite multinational task force, John Clark faces the world's greatest fear: international terrorism. And following each terrifying new outbreak - the ghosts from his own past. The challenge of a new mission is just what Clark needs, but the opportunities come faster than he expected. Hostage-taking at a Swiss bank. The kidnapping of an international trader. Carnage at a theme park in Spain. Each incident seems separate, yet the timing disturbs Clark. Is there a connection? Is he being tested? Or is there a bigger threat out there, from terrorists so extreme that no government is ready to admit their existence. 'Action-packed and full of guns and suspense . . . a skilfully crafted plot and high readability.' Express 'The action scenes are superlative, and the complex, multi-stranded narrative is orchestrated with Bach-like precision.' Evening Standard 'The action comes thick and fast.' The Times
