TOM CLANCY'S ACCLAIMED HERO
JACK RYAN IS HUNTED BY IRISH TERRORISTS
IN THIS PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL
INTERNATIONAL #1 BESTSELLER - WHICH BECAME
A MAJOR HOLLYWOOD FILM

 
When Jack Ryan foils an Ulster Liberation Army terrorist attack
on the Prince of Wales and his family, his courageous actions not
only win him the admiration of an entire nation, they also arouse
the enmity and hatred of that nation's most dangerous men.

 
Now a ULA target himself, Ryan plunges into the murky world
of counter-intelligence, where he uncovers a connection between the
ULA and an international underground network that places him
at the forefront of the deadly battle against international terrorism,
and pitches him into the most desperate struggle of his life...

 
'Tom Clancy has done it again! Compelling
and spine-tingling, superb ... highly imaginative,
believable and horrifying. He sustains a high pitch
of excitement ... a splendid read.'

WALL STREET JOURNAL
 
'Tom Clancy has picked up the fiction mantle
where Frederick Forsyth left off ... the fast action
thriller that Clancy fans have come to expect.'
