Executive Orders [Hardcover] [rare books] by Tom Clancy

Jack Ryan is the new US President – in the record-breaking No 1 bestseller from the world’s leading thriller writer – now published as a Trade Paperback.

At the dramatic climax of his last No 1 bestseller, Debt of Honour, a runaway Jumbo Jet crashes into the Capitol Building in Washington, leaving the President dead, along with most of the Cabinet and Congress. Dazed and confused, the man who minutes before had been confirmed as the new caretaker Vice-President is told that he is now President of the United States. President John Patrick Ryan.

And that is where Executive Orders begins – as Ryan’s new responsibilities crush in upon him with stunning force. But how do you run a government without a government? Where do you even begin? He knows that the eyes of the world are on him now – and many of them are unfriendly. In Beijing, in Tehran and even in Washington, there are those eager to take advantage. Soon they will make their moves; soon they will present Jack Ryan with a crisis so great even he could not imagine it.

Filled with the exceptional authenticity, acute political insight and intricate plotting that are his hallmarks, Executive Orders confirms
Tom Clancy’s position as the world’s greatest storyteller.
