Jack Ryan Jr. will do anything for a friend but this favor will be paid for in blood in the
latest electric entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Jack Ryan Jr. would do
anything for Ding Chavez. That's why Jack is currently sitting in an open-air market in Israel
helping a CIA team with a simple job. The man running the mission Peter Beltz is an old
friend from Ding's Army days. Ding hadn't seen his friend since Peter's transfer to the CIA
eighteen months prior and intended to use the assignment to reconnect. Unfortunately Ding had
to cancel at the last minute and asked Jack to take his place. It's a cushy assignment--a trip
to Israel in exchange for a couple hours of easy work but Jack could use the downtime after
his last operation. Jack is here merely as an observer but when he hastens to help a woman and
her young son he finds himself the target of trained killers. Alone and outgunned Jack will
have to use all his skills to protect the life of the child.
