Summary:
"Newly elected in his own right, Jack Ryan has found that being
President has gotten no easier: domestic pitfalls await him at every
turn; the Asian economy is going down the tubes; and now, in Moscow,
someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR - the
former KGB - with a rocket-propelled grenade. Things are unstable
enough in Russia without high-level assassination, but even more
disturbing may be the identities of the potential assassins. Were
they political enemies, the Russian Mafia, disaffected former KGB?
Or, Ryan wonders, is something far more dangerous at work here?".
"Ryan is right to wonder. For even while Russian investigators pursue
the case, and some of his most trusted eyes and ears, including
antiterrorism specialist John Clark, head to Moscow, forces in China
are moving forward with a plan of truly audacious proportions. Tired
of what they view as the presumption of the West, eager to fulfill
their destiny, they are taking matters into their own hands. If they
succeed, the world as we know it will never look the same. If they
fail...the consequences may be unspeakable."--BOOK JACKET.
