Both the volume and the dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition. AS NEW/AS NEW. The end of history. The new world order. Fine phrases, but as Jack Ryan is about to discover, history isn't dead yet -- and only the nature of the threat is new. On the Pacific island of Saipan, a wealthy Japanese businessman regards his new-bought land with satisfaction. In the Indian Ocean off Sri Lanka, a foreign navy begins a series of highly unusual exercises. At the headquarters of America's major stock-clearing corporation, an engineer brings a customized computer program on-line for the first time, and smiles at his own private joke. Three seemingly unrelated incidents, but all just the first links in a chain of events that will stun the world. Called out of retirement to serve as the new President's National Security Advisor, Jack Ryan quickly realizes that the problems of peace are fully as complex as those of war. Enemies have become friends, friends enemies, and even the form of conflict has changed. What he cannot realize, however, is just how close the next conflict is. And when one of those new enemies readies a strike not only at America's territory, but at the heart of her economy, it is Ryan, with the help of CIA officers John Clark and Domingo Chavez, who must prepare an untested President to meet the challenge, if Ryan can only figure out how. For there is a debt of honor to be paid -- and the price will be terrifyingly high. "One of the most popular American authors of suspense thrillers, Mr. Clancy's amazing first book was the very successful "The Hunt for Red October, " featuring the character Jack Ryan; was later made into a blockbuster movie of the same name. This book, "Debt of Honor" is one of nine books written around the Jack Ryan or John Clark characters which include "Without Remorse, " "Patriot Games, " "The Cardinal of the Kremlin, " "Clear and Present Danger, " and, most recently, "Rainbow Six" and "The Bear and the Dragon. " Known for his attention to detail and the deep research that requires, Mr. Clancy has earned the respect of the military experts about whom he writes, fellow writers and readers alike. . 1st Edition.
