Razio Jamata, mocný finančník, dal svým rodičům, kteří zemřeli ve válce, slib, že jejich životy pomstí.

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.

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.

Tento román patří k jeho nejlepším dílům, kde se prolínají osobní příběhy s globálními hrozbami.

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.
