Executive Orders

Description:

Jack Ryan reluctantly agreed to accept the vice presidency of the United States for a year, but when the president is assassinated, he is catapulted to the nation's highest office. With Congress depleted in the same tragedy that killed the president, Ryan is alone as the shattered country faces threats from international and domestic forces.

Selected Reviews:

"As usual, some of the Clancy plotting is fiendishly inventive, and he has a technically sharp command of the realistic detail, like the horrifying use of Ebola as an instrument of war rather than of nature....The book's true spirit lies in its dedication to 'Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th President of the United States: The Man Who Won the War.'"
