Summary

A floating natural gas facility in Lithuania is blown up. A Venezuelan prosecutor is assassinated. A devastating attack on a Russian troop train kills dozens. A chaotic world is the best camouflage for a series of seemingly unrelated attacks. Only one man recognizes an ominous pattern in the reports of terror around the globe. US president Jack Ryan sees a guiding hand in the worldwide chaos. Faced with collapsing energy prices, the Russian economy depends on expansion abroad. But it's a strategy that has been thwarted by the United States in the past. And now it seems the Russian leader Volodin, fearful of losing his grip on power, is pursuing is ambitions more indirectly. While Jack Ryan's intelligence agencies race to uncover the truth behind the attacks, he struggles to unite a fractious and distrustful coalition of Western nations against the schemes of the Russian dictator. With five thousand Russian troops poised to invade a NATO nation, can Jack Ryan move swiftly enough to stop Volodin's gran plan of global conflict and conquest? Or will he succeed in changing the balance of world power for ever?
