Jack Ryan is trapped. An assassin incoming. Time to take control. In this high-octane twenty-third instalment of Tom Clancy's heart-pounding, #1 New York Times bestselling series, President Jack Ryan finds himself caught in the middle of a military coup in South America. President Jack Ryan travels to Colombia to support the president who is facing a challenge from autocratic forces. What seems like an ordinary opportunity to preach the values of democracy quickly turns into a nightmare when a full-blown military coup erupts. President Ryan and his Secret Service team are cut off and out of communication. In Washington, the Vice President is coordinating a military response, but there's still one more obstacle. The Russians recognize an opportunity when one presents itself. They've hired a private military contractor to do the unthinkable - use the cover of the coup to assassinate President Jack Ryan.
