520 1 $a"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?".
520 8 $a"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.
