From the author SSN.

President Jack Ryan faces a world crisis. Domestic pitfalls await him at every turn and in Moscow someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR with a rocket-propelled grenade. Even more disturbing may be the identities of the assassins. Were they the Russian Mafia, disaffected former KGB or something far more dangerous at work?

John Clark is the man who conducts the secret missions. President Ryan can have no part of.
