Válečné jizvy na duši Japonska se zdají být zhojeny, avšak stále existují jedinci, kteří nezapomněli na ponížení od vítězných Spojených států a na oběti války. Razio Jamata, mocný finančník, dal svým rodičům, kteří zemřeli ve válce, slib, že jejich životy pomstí. Jeho plán na pomstu spočívá v promyšlených operacích, které zasáhnou nervovou soustavu nenáviděné velmoci, a to bez konvenční války. Jamata usiluje o to, aby Americe vyvstaly miliony zoufalých občanů, což by mohlo vyvolat ozbrojený konflikt. Americké vedení si uvědomuje, že se hraje nebezpečná hra, ale nezná protivníka. Jakmile ho identifikují, je už téměř pozdě. Do akce se pouští Jack Ryan, bývalý agent CIA a nynější poradce prezidenta pro národní bezpečnost.

Tom Clancy vás vezme na fascinující detailní exkurzi do prostředí americké námořní pěchoty. Patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co může Amerika nabídnout. Příslušníci americké námořní pěchoty sloužili vždy s vyznamenáním a dosáhli téměř mýtický status mezi obránci amerického národa. Tom Clancy zachytil ve své knize skutečnou tvář mužů a žen, kteří slouží v té nejproslavenější složce amerických ozbrojených sil. Jako i v jeho ostatních knihách nonfiction Fighter Wing, Armored Cav a Submarine (v přípravě) autor bedlivým okem a se smyslem pro detail líčí fascinující obraz příslušníků námořní pěchoty tak, jak dokáže jenom on.

Válečné jizvy Japonska se zdají být dávno zhojené, avšak stále existují jedinci, kteří nezapomněli na ponížení od Spojených států. Razio Jamata, mocný finančník, se rozhodne pomstít své rodiče, kteří zemřeli během války. Místo konvenční války plánuje zasáhnout ekonomiku a nervovou soustavu USA promyšlenými operacemi. Jeho cíl: vyvolat chaos a zoufalství mezi miliony Američanů, což by mohlo vyústit v ozbrojený konflikt. Jamata ví, že jeho plán je odvážný a reálný, a americké vedení si brzy uvědomí, že čelí nebezpečné hře, jejíž protivník je neznámý. Do záchranné akce se pouští Jack Ryan, bývalý agent CIA a nynější poradce prezidenta pro národní bezpečnost. Ryan ví, že čas běží a události se rychle vyvíjejí, přičemž krize ohrožuje nejen USA, ale i celý vyspělý svět. Situaci komplikuje i nevyzpytatelné Rusko a znepokojená Čína. Tom Clancy mistrně vykresluje napětí a chaos, které krize vyvolává, a přitom se zaměřuje na obyčejné lidi, jejichž životy jsou dramaticky ovlivněny mocenskými hrami. Tento román patří k jeho nejlepším dílům, kde se prolínají osobní příběhy s globálními hrozbami.

John Kelly, former Navy SEAL and Vietnam veteran, is still getting over the accidental death of his wife six months before, when he befriends a young woman with a decidedly checkered past. When that past reaches out for her in a particularly horrifying fashion, he vows revenge and, assembling all of his old skills, sets out to track down the men responsible, before it can happen again. At the same time, the Pentagon is readying an operation to rescue a key group of prisoners in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp. One man, they find, knows the terrain around the camp better than anyone else they have: a certain former Navy SEAL named John Kelly. Kelly has his own mission. The Pentagon wants him for theirs. Attempting to juggle the two, Kelly (now code-named Mr. Clark) finds himself confronted by a vast array of enemies, both at home and abroad - men so skillful that the slightest misstep means death. And the fate of dozens of people, including Kelly himself, rests on his making sure that misstep never happens. Men aren't born dangerous. They grow dangerous. And the most dangerous of all, Kelly learns, are the ones you least expect... As Clancy takes us through the twists and turns of Without Remorse, he blends the exceptional realism and authenticity that are his hallmarks with intricate plotting, knife-edge suspense and a remarkable cast of characters.

Generál Tony Zinni, známý jako „válečný diplomat“, se během čtyřiceti let služby stal významnou osobností armády a politického establishmentu. Prokázal své schopnosti ve Vietnamu, Somálsku a při přípravách na akce proti Iráku a al-Kajdá. Získal uznání za vedení nebezpečných mírových misí v různých regionech a sloužil jako zvláštní zmocněnec ministra zahraničí Colina Powella na Středním východě. Jeho nesouhlas s válkou v Iráku v roce 2003 přispěl k jeho odchodu z armády, avšak nezabránil mu vyjadřovat své názory na konflikt a jeho důsledky. Zinniho pohled na válku kontrastuje s odchodem jeho otce do druhé světové války, kterou považuje za poslední „poctivou válku“ s jasným nepřítelem a jednotou národa. Vietnam však přinesl problémy, které vedly k profesionalizaci armády, a poslední válka v Iráku ukázala pokles zájmu o vojenskou službu. Válka proti Saddámovi se spojila s hrozbami terorismu a Zinni upozorňuje na nové výzvy, jako jsou nadnárodní kriminální sítě a extremistické organizace. Regionální hegemoni a „ničemné státy“ se poučí z iráckých konfliktů, což klade netradiční nároky nejen na ozbrojené síly USA.

The President dead, most of the Cabinet and the Congress dead, the Supreme Court and Joint Chiefs likewise. Dazed and confused, the man who only minutes before had been confirmed as the new Vice-President of the United States is told that he is now President. President John Patrick Ryan. And that is where Executive Orders begins. Ryan had agreed to accept the vice-presidency only as caretaker for a year, and now suddenly, an incalculable weight has fallen on his shoulders. How do you run a government without a government? Where do you even begin? With stunning force, Ryan's responsibilities crush in on him. He must calm an anxious and grieving nation, allay the skepticism of the world's leaders, conduct a swift investigation of the tragedy, and arrange a massive state funeral - all while attempting to reconstitute a Cabinet and a Congress with the greatest possible speed. But that is not all. Many eyes are on him now, and many of them are unfriendly. In Beijing, Tehran, and other world capitals, including Washington, D.C., there are those eager to take advantage where they may, some of whom bear a deep animus toward the United States - some of whom, from Ryan's past, harbor intense animosity toward the new President himself. Soon they will begin to move on their opportunities; soon they will present Jack Ryan with a crisis so great even he cannot imagine it.

Because Filitov, code-named Cardinal, is America's highest agent in the Kremlin, and he is about to be betrayed to the KGB. His rescue could spell the difference between peace and war, and it is up to Jack Ryan to accomplish it -- if he can -- as, in a breathtaking sequence of hunter and hunted, Filitov's life, and Ryan's and that of the world itself literally hang in the balance.
