Command Authority

INSPIRATION FOR THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN

Summary

INSPIRATION FOR THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN . . .

Command Authority sees the return of Tom Clancy's greatest hero, Jack Ryan.


Decades ago, as a young CIA analyst, President Jack Ryan, Sr. inadvertently uncovered the existence of a KGB assassin, code-named Zenith. He never found the killer.

In the present, President Valeri Volodin has risen to power in the Russian republic. But the foundations of his empire are built on a bloody secret from the past, and he'll eliminate anyone who comes close to that truth.

When an old friend of the Ryans is poisoned by a radioactive agent, the trail leads to Russia. And for Jack Ryan, Jr. it's time to finish what his father started . . .

Tom Clancy's Command Authority is a brand new full-throttle all-action adventure, and follows Threat Vector and Locked On as the newest Jack Ryan novel.

Praise for Tom Clancy:

'Exhilarating. No other novelist is giving so full a picture of modern conflict' Sunday Times

'The inventor of the techno-thriller' Daily Telegraph

About the authors

Tom Clancy

Thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. But he had always dreamed of writing a novel, and his first effort, The Hunt for Red October, catapulted on to the New York Times bestseller list. From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
