Publisher's Summary

Against all odds we have made it into the last half of the 1990s. The Cold War looks solved, Arabs and Jews are talking, confrontation is on the wane. In this new harmony, one discord - what becomes of unemployed terrorists?

You can bet they aren't going to retire quietly. Shunned by the Soviets, isolated by Middle Eastern realignment, one cadre hits on a scheme to jump-start the war machine. It's brilliant in its simplicity. With a single act they bring the world to nuclear boil. Jack Ryan and Dan Murray sweat to defuse a cataclysmic response.

©1992 Tom Clancy (P)2011 Random House

Great team!

Clancy is great at spy novels and I believe Scott Brick is the best at performing them. I had to make sure I listened well to this one as the story line comes from different directions. But I got invested in this one early on. Really enjoyed it

Amazing book and performance

One of my novels of all time, and Scott Brick is the best of the narrators of the Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan books.

Great Listen

The narration was quite good, brought life to many of the characters.
The story was fantastic, though has some very technical parts that can be hard to follow.
