Publisher Description
Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!
In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan gets caught in a war between the United States and a Colombian drug cartel and uncovers a shocking conspiracy.
When Colombian drug lords assassinate both the U.S. ambassador and the visiting head of the FBI, their actions trigger a covert response from the American government—a response that goes horribly wrong...
As the newly named Deputy Director of Intelligence for the CIA, Jack Ryan should be privy to operations like the one in Colombia, but he’s been left completely in the dark. With the help of field officer John Clark, Ryan intends to find out what’s really going on. But while they expect danger from without, the greatest threat of all may come from within.

Better than the movie
I always enjoy Tom Clancy novels, although I've always avoided reading books after seeing the movie.
Well, I changed up and read "Clear and Present Danger" and I'm very glad I did! Much better than the movie, (aren't they always) the book was a much better story than the movie.
Terrific read.
To the “This Spanish Is Incorrect” Review
You’re right, “mano” is in fact “hand” in Spanish, but it’s also slang for “hermano” which is “brother” in English. We’ll use your example. “Hope you like to run, brother.” Thus, Clancy is using the Spanish slang word “mano” for “brother” correctly.
Great Read
I’m in my early 30s so when I started reading Clancy in high school it was mostly Jack Jr and Campus focused. The only original Clancy I had read at that time was Rainbow Six. Knowing so much about the bond between Clark and Chavez it was refreshing to finally read their origin story. Highly recommend!
