In Tom Clancy's Shadow of the Dragon, President Jack Ryan faces a dire threat as he races to find a missing scientist and uncover a mole in the CIA.
In Tom Clancy's Shadow of the Dragon, the stakes are higher than ever as a new Cold War unfolds. The Chinese Navy is rapidly advancing, equipped with quieter submarines capable of carrying ballistic missiles, which poses a significant threat to the United States. At the center of this escalating tension is an eccentric scientist named Liu Wangshu, whose knowledge could tip the balance of power. When Liu mysteriously disappears, China suspects foul play, leading to a frantic search that intertwines international relations and espionage.
As President Jack Ryan grapples with the implications of Liu's disappearance, he uncovers a deeper problem: a mole within the U.S. intelligence community known only as SURVEYOR. This revelation intensifies the urgency of Ryan's mission, as he must not only locate Liu but also identify and neutralize the internal threat. With the help of his trusted ally John Clark and the Campus team, Ryan embarks on a double-edged quest, racing against time to outmaneuver both the Chinese government and the treacherous forces within his own ranks.
Tom Clancy's Shadow of the Dragon weaves a gripping narrative of suspense and intrigue, highlighting the complexities of modern warfare and the delicate balance of global power. As tensions rise, readers are drawn into a world where every decision could have catastrophic consequences, making this installment a must-read for fans of the series.
