Part of Jack Ryan
First published 2016
Navy Commander Scott Hagan enjoys a family dinner in Princeton after months commanding the USS James Greer at sea. An armed Russian attacks him in the restaurant, shooting Hagan before the commander fights back. The dying assassin reveals his brother died when Hagan destroyed his submarine, but he cannot explain how he knew Hagan's location. Meanwhile, a CIA operative enters Tehran's airport using his Canadian cover identity. His fingerprints trigger immediate detention by Iranian officials who somehow know his true identity despite a dozen successful previous missions. Similar attacks target American military and intelligence personnel worldwide. The pattern reveals a massive security breach that has given America's enemies access to classified information. With intelligence agencies compromised, John Clark and The Campus must trace the leak to its source. Their investigation exposes a threat embedded within America itself. Only President Jack Ryan can stop the conspiracy before time runs out.
