A missing Chinese scientist unexplained noises emanating from under the Arctic ice and a
possible mole in American intelligence are just some of the problems that plague President Jack
Ryan in the latest entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series. Aboard an
icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean a sonar operator hears an unusual noise coming from the ocean
floor. She can't isolate it and chalks the event up to an anomaly in a newly installed system.
Meanwhile operatives with the Chinese Ministry of State Security are dealing with their own
mystery-the disappearance of brilliant but eccentric scientist Liu Wangshu. They're desperate
to keep his crucial knowledge of aerospace and naval technology out of their rivals' hands.
Finding Liu is too great an opportunity for any intelligence service to pass up but there's
one more problem. A high-level Chinese mole code-named Surveyor has managed to infiltrate
American Intelligence. President Jack Ryan has only one choice: send John Clark and his Campus
team deep into China to find an old graduate student of the professor's who may hold the key to
his whereabouts. It's a dangerous gamble but with John Clark holding the cards Jack Ryan is
all in. Story Locale: The Arctic Ocean China Washington D.C. Series Overview: Tom Clancy's
Jack Ryan series is one of the most successful thriller franchises in history. All twenty-one
