A virtuoso display of page-turning talent

Mike Maden grew up working in the canneries, feed mills and slaughterhouses of California's San Joaquin Valley. A lifelong fascination with history and warfare ultimately lead to a Ph.D. in political science focused on conflict and technology in international relations. Like millions of others, he first became a Tom Clancy fan after reading The Hunt for Red October, and began his published fiction career in the same techno-thriller genre, starting with Drone and the sequels, Blue Warrior, Drone Command and Drone Threat. He's honored to be joining "The Campus" as a writer in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Jr., series.

Finally taking a well-earned break, Jack Ryan Jr is taken by surprise when he runs into old flame Renee Moore in a scenic Barcelona café. 
 
Curiously, Renee is not so pleased to see him. Distracted, she says she's waiting for someone and can't talk. She promises to call him later, and sends him out onto the street. 
 
Which is when the bomb goes off. 
 
There's nothing he can do to save Renee. But as he cradles her, she utters one last word with her final breath: Sammler 
 
Who, or what, does she mean? What trouble has Renee got herself into? When every thread Jack pulls threatens to make the situation ever more dangerous, he realises he's stumbled into an international conspiracy that might be more than even he can handle. 
 
Because Renee isn't the first to die. And she won't be the last...

There's hardly another thriller writer alive who can fuel an adrenaline surge the way Clancy can

Exhilarating. No other novelist is giving so full a picture of modern conflict.

Grunt-level action, advanced cyber warfare, and plenty of high-tech weaponry...

Freeze or drown. 
He wasn't sure which one would come first. It didn't really matter. Either way, Jack Ryan, Jr. knew he was going to die in the next two minutes. 
 
When Jack Ryan Jr is sent to Singapore on what seems a routine administrative task, he worries he's being sidelined in the war on terror. But it soon becomes clear there's more to the mission - and his unassuming new partner, Paul Brown - than meets the eye. 
 
With North Korean missile testing in full swing and a deadly cyclone bearing down on the island nation, Brown and Ryan are tasked with uncovering a mole threatening an entirely new kind of warfare. And it soon becomes clear someone is willing to kill to cover their tracks. 
 
As they race against time to escape both the murderous storm and a team of trained assassins, they must fight against power, prestige, leverage and blackmail to prevent the launch of another worldwide nuclear arms race. 
 
And they might not make it out alive.
