Tom Clancy Act of Defiance

Description

When a Russian superweapon is let loose under the waves, it’s up to President Jack Ryan to find a countermove in the latest entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

US intelligence says there’s something going on in Russia. While their land forces have been decimated by corruption and incompetence, the Navy seems to be pouring money into some secret project. 

Analysts are stumped, until the knot is untangled by one particularly bright young woman at the Office of Naval Intelligence–Katie Ryan, the youngest daughter of President Jack Ryan. Like her father, she sees patterns where other don’t, and she’s determined that the Russians are about to launch a super missile submarine, the Belgorod. 

Now the race is on to determine where the sub is and whether it poses a threat to the continental US.”Forty years after Tom Clancy’s genre defining debut novel, The Hunt for Red October, a new Russian submarine is moving west… Gripping and powerful, Act of Defiance is Andrews and Wilson at their best!  A fitting tribute to the master. Tom Clancy would be proud.”
—Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Only the Dead
 
“Welcome back to Tom Clancy’s world, where familiar and new characters untangle a conspiracy that threatens to light the world on fire. Andrews and Wilson pack in enough action for three books.”
—Larry Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Arctic Gambit
  
“I expected a lot from Navy veterans Andrews and Wilson—and they exceeded every expectation! Tom Clancy Act of Defiance is a remarkable tale of political intrigue and high-seas adventure. Jack Ryan and friends are in capable hands.”
—Marc Cameron, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Command and Control

“Tom Clancy Act of Defiance slips into the Clancy franchise with the skill and deftness of the Dallas dropping into the baffles of the Red October. For long-time fans, the nostalgic moments hit all the right notes. For new readers, the gripping story features the latest tech but doesn’t overwhelm. For the purists, Andrews and Wilson write with the authentic voice and steady hand of men who have “been there, done that” in the real-world. In short, it’s a great read. I highly recommend it.”
—Mike Maden, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Enemy Contact

“If Tom Clancy was still alive, this is the book he’d write.  Author duo Andrews & Wilson give military thriller readers what they’ve spent 40 years longing for: a tale of submarine warfare that builds upon the seminal Clancy masterpiece, Hunt for the Red October.  Tom Clancy Act of Defiance is simply magnificent.”
—Don Bentley, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Weapons Grade and Forgotten War

“Echoes of Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October reverberate four decades after the late author’s famous debut… Well-paced excitement as the Ryans come through again.”
—Kirkus ReviewsThirty-five years ago, Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
