Threat Vector

The Campus, the covert intelligence organization that operates outside official channels, has been exposed, and someone with the resources to destroy it is closing in. Meanwhile, China's internal political instability is pushing its leadership toward a military confrontation with Taiwan, threatening to draw in the United States and escalate toward open conflict between nuclear powers. President Jack Ryan faces the crisis from the Oval Office while his son and the Campus team scramble to survive long enough to be useful.

Lou Diamond Phillips brings a propulsive energy to the narration that suits Clancy's high-stakes military and political thriller formula. His command of the large ensemble cast, from presidential advisors to field operatives to Chinese military commanders, keeps the sprawling parallel plotlines organized and accessible. At over eighteen hours, this Goodreads Choice Award winner is one of the more ambitious entries in the Jack Ryan universe.
