If there’s one thing Jack Ryan Jr. learned from his father it’s that freedom isn’t free but
nothing can prepare Jack for the price he must pay in this electrifying entry in the #1 New
York Times bestselling series. Jack Ryan Jr. is in a world of trouble. When a benign
surveillance operation takes a deadly turn Jack finds himself locked in a struggle with an
unseen enemy bent on destroying The Campus. The chase leads Jack to the South China Sea where
a midair collision between aircraft from rival nations threatens to serve as a flash point for
the entire region. As Jack frantically tries to put the pieces of the conspiracy together The
Campus is hit with a crippling attack. When the dust settles Jack is one of the few operators
still standing and The Campus’s de facto leader. But the fight is just beginning. As tensions
escalate Jack’s mysterious adversary executes a brilliant campaign to paralyze the American
government while China inches closer to invading Taiwan. With the odds stacked against him and
no help in sight Jack and his shattered team must stop the world’s two remaining superpowers
from stumbling into war even as the noose around The Campus grows ever tighter. Every
operation has a cost. This time the bill might just be too much to pay.
