Newly elected, Jack Ryan has found that being President is not easy: domestic pitfalls await him at every turn; there's a revolution in Liberia; the Asian economy is going down the tubes; and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to assassinate the chairman of the SVR - the former KGB - with a rocket-propelled grenade. Were the potential assassins political enemies, the Russian Mafia, or disaffected former KGB? Or is something far more dangerous at work here? While Ryan dispatches his most trusted eyes and ears, including black ops specialist John Clark, to find out the truth of the matter, forces in China are moving ahead with a plan of truly audacious proportions. If they succeed, the world will never look the same again.… (plus d'informations)
Jack Ryan, el nuevo presidente de los Estados Unidos, deberá enfrentarse a una grave crisis mundial. Problemas nacionales, la economía asiática que hace aguas, una conspiración contra la ex KGB en Moscú y, por si fuera poco, ciertas fuerzas en China avanzan con un plan de proporciones realmente audaces, cuyas consecuencias pueden ser inimaginables. Con una mezcla del realismo y la autenticidad que le caracterizan, una compleja trama, un agudísimo suspense y una extraordinaria galería de personajes, Tom Clancy se supera a sí mismo y eleva aún más la tensión en esta nueva y monumental obra, presentada en dos volúmenes.
No es ni de lejos la mejor de Clancy, aunque como todas mantiene la emoción. Rusia y China se enzarzan en un conflicto armado y el recién elegido presidente de los EE.UU., Jack Ryan, tiene que lidiar con ellos. Hay demasiadas subtramas que se dejan sin explicar, el autor, como viene siendo habitual, hace un planteamiento gigantesco y luego resuelve como puede. ( )

Going to work was the same everywhere, and the changeover from Marxism-Leninism to Chaos-Capitalism hadn't changed matters much—well, maybe things were now a little worse.
