AMERICA'S SECRET WAR AGAINST SOUTH AMERICAN
DRUG CARTELS SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL, IN
TOM CLANCY'S HIGHLY ACCLAIMED #1 BESTSELLER -
WHICH BECAME A MAJOR HOLLYWOOD FILM

 
Colombian drug lords, tired of being harassed by US law
enforcement agents, have assassinated the American Ambassador
and the visiting head of the FBI. Their message is clear:
leave us alone.

 
But they have pushed too far. The decision is made to send
undercover teams into Colombia. Back in the USA, men armed with
the most sophisticated tools their country can devise prepare
to take the fight to the enemy. But does anyone know
who the real enemy is?

 
Jack Ryan and CIA field officer John Clark must find the
answer. They expect danger from without - yet the greatest
danger of all may come from within...

 
'Clancy's most politically sophisticated and
philosophically complex thriller.'

BOB WOODWARD, TIME
 
'A rousing performance... a crackling good yarn.'
WASHINGTON POST
 
'A jump ahead of the headlines... moves
with the speed of light.'
