Publisher Description
Debt of Honor ends as Jack Ryan is confirmed vice president minutes before a mammoth act of terrorism kills the President, most of his cabinet, all but a few members of Congress, the entire Supreme Court and all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Suddenly Ryan is President, which is where Executive Orders begins.
Ryan's responsibilities crush in on him. Where should he begin? He must calm a nation, pacify world leaders, arrange a massive funeral -- while he rebuilds a government as quickly as possible. But that's not all. Enemies abroad and at home see opportunities, and they'll soon present President Ryan with an unimaginable crisis. How will he tackle his greatest challenge ever?
Customer Reviews
Great book
This is a continuation of the Jack Ryan stories. Do not start with this one. But if you've gotten here by the proper route, and especially if you'veread Debt of Honor, this is terrific. The depth and scope of his stories is amazing. Some people don't like the reader. I think he's a perfect match. He can do tension when the time is right. And he reads the matter of fact stuff in a matter of fact voice. And that seems right to me. He doesn't try to bend the text and shovel in a bunch of anger and gravitas that isn't in the text like Brick does (I mention him because he seems to be re-reading a lof of the Clancy books, sadly).
