Book description
Jack Ryan Jr. returns in Dead or Alive, the gripping new
thriller from Tom Clancy.
The world's number one terrorist is about to unleash a holy war.
Only one agency, one man, can stop him . . .
The Campus was secretly created by President Jack Ryan to
covertly eliminate terrorists. Now it faces its greatest threat: a
sadistic killer known as the Emir. Mastermind of countless horrific
attacks, the Emir has eluded capture by every law enforcement agency
in the world. And he is about to unleash a monumental strike at the
heart of America.
But on the Emir's trail is intelligence expert Jack Ryan Jr.
Following in his legendary father's footsteps, he and his allies at
the Campus are on a manhunt that will take them across the globe, into
the shadowy arenas of political gamesmanship, in a race to prevent the
fall of the West.
Dead or Alive is the nerve-shredding second thriller in Tom
Clancy's Jack Ryan Jr. series. The Teeth of the Tiger was the
first.
