Tom Clancy's Patriot Games is filled with the exceptional realism and authenticity that distinguished the author's two previous bestsellers, Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising . Patriot Games puts us on the cutting edge of another type of war — the international battle of terrorism. It is fall. Years before the defection of a Soviet submarine will send him hurtling into confrontation with the Soviets, historian, ex-Marine and CIA analyst Jack Ryan is vacationing in London with his wife and young daughter, when a terrorist attack takes place before his eyes. Instinctively, he dives forward to break it up, and is shot. It is not until he wakes up in the hospital that he learns whose lives he has saved -- the Prince and Princess of Wales and their new young son -- and which enemies he has made -- the Ulster Liberation Army, an ultra-left-wing splinter of the IRA. By his impulsive act, he has gained both the gratitude of a nation and then enmity of hits most dangerous men -- men who do not sit on their hate. And in the weeks and months to come, it is Jack Ryan, and his family, who will become the targets of that hate.

Over nine novels, Tom Clancy has captivated millions with his compelling plots and narrative skill, establishing himself as a master storyteller. In this installment, the focus is on John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL known for his secret operational missions. Clark, familiar from previous works, is efficient and deadly, yet he carries the weight of his past. As the newly appointed head of an international task force against terrorism, he eagerly anticipates a new mission. However, incidents begin to escalate unexpectedly: a crisis at a Swiss bank, the kidnapping of a trader in Germany, and a violent attack at an amusement park in Spain. Each event appears isolated, but the timing unsettles Clark. He suspects a connection and wonders if he is being tested. With the support of his close associates, including executive officer Alistair Stanley and strike team leaders Domingo Chavez and Peter Covington, Clark seeks to uncover the underlying threat. They soon realize they are up against a group of terrorists unlike any before, whose success could spell the end of life as we know it. The stakes have never been higher, and Clark must confront the ultimate challenge.

Pero eso no es todo. Muchos ojos están puestos en él, y muchos de ellos son hostiles. En Pekín, Teherán y otras capitales mundiales, hay quienes están ansiosos por aprovechar la situación, algunos de los cuales albergan un profundo resentimiento hacia Estados Unidos, y otros, del pasado de Ryan, sienten una intensa animosidad hacia el nuevo presidente. Pronto comenzarán a actuar y le presentarán a Jack Ryan una crisis tan grande que ni siquiera él puede imaginar.
