READ THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE THRILLING AMAZON PRIME SERIES JACK RYAN
Has Jack Ryan Jr lost his nerve?
After a freezing mission in the North Sea which nearly costs lives - including his own - US Campus agent Jack Ryan Jr is taken off black ops.
Ordered onto routine surveillance, he is sent to Singapore to check out a company with US interests.
But he soon finds the task anything but routine . . .
It's clear there's a mole who must be uncovered - and quickly.
As the mole attempts to cover their tracks, Jack finds himself dodging a team of highly trained killers as a tropical storm rolls in.
What are the assassins trying to hide? And can Jack survive long enough to stop them?

'A virtuoso display of page-turning talent' Sunday Express
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Maden (Drone Threat and three other Troy Pierce technothrillers) bases this taut, exciting thriller an entry in the Jack Ryan Jr. division of the Tom Clancy universe on the seemingly mundane premise of a corporate audit. Jack Ryan Jr., partnered with forensic accountant Paul Brown, is working for Hendley Associates, a top financial analysis firm, on a study of Dalfan Technologies, a Singaporean company that former U.S. senator Weston Rhodes intends to acquire. Rhodes has a clandestine secondary mission for Paul: installing a CIA diagnostic program to sniff Dalfan's files for potential cyber-espionage. Tight security delays Paul's infiltration, and as the deadline nears and Rhodes becomes more agitated, Paul suspects his mission is far more sinister. The not-merely-accountants must outrace international assassins and a massive typhoon to thwart a global financial disaster. Clancy fans can rest assured that the state of the franchise is strong.
Customer Reviews
More Hardy Boys than Tom Clancy
Sorry to say this might have some of the Ryanverse characters in it but it’s a far cry from a Tom Clancy quality read. Simple and linear plot with some jarring writing. Quite disappointing to follow on from the last Mark Greaney books.
