About this ebook
THE EXPLOSIVE THRILLER IN THE BESTSELLING JACK RYAN SERIES
A global race against the clock . . .
The Chinese Navy is gaining power. With quieter submarines carrying ballistic missiles, they pose a critical threat to President Jack Ryan's America. And behind their progress is just one man: eccentric scientist Liu Wangshu.
So when Liu goes missing, China suspects America's involvement. What's worse, President Jack Ryan discovers that a mole, code-named SURVEYOR, has infiltrated US intelligence to terrifying depths. Now more than ever, he needs the Chinese intelligence that Liu has to offer.
With the help of old ally John Clark and the Campus team, Ryan faces a double race against time. First, beat the Chinese government in a global hunt for Liu. Then scour the elite ranks of the CIA for SURVEYOR.
The heat is rising in this new Cold War . . .

While it's an interesting read and brings attention to a poor situation for Uighur Muslims in China. The book lacks the detail that the Clancy books had. Not to mention that its probably only about a quarter of the length of the originals. My main gripe is that there is a simple mistake early on in the book. Mini spoiler alert, Ding's son is referred to as JP, whereas when he's born they called him John Connor (JC) Chavez. Given that there has been no mention of a second son it just looks like a careless mistake.
