The discovery of an oil field off the coast of Guyana plunges Jack Ryan, Jr into a cauldron of lies in the latest entry in this New York Times bestselling series.
It starts with the destruction of a US Coast Guard cutter and the loss of her entire crew. But the USCG Claiborne was on an innocuous mission to open a sea lane between an oil field off the coast of South America and the refineries of southern Louisiana. The destruction of the ship, tragic as it is, won´t stop that mission from continuing.
So who would sacrifice twenty-two men and women just to slow down the plan? That´s the question plaguing Jack Ryan Jr. He´s in Guyana to work a deal to get his company, Hendley Associates, in on the ground floor of this new discovery, but Russia´s Wagner Group and a pack of Venezuelan narco-terrorists have other ideas-and will risk war with the United States to see them through. It´s up to Jack to identify the killers before they draw a bead on him, but how can he do that when the line of demarcation between friend and foe is constantly shifting?
