Like Father, like son it's time for the next generation...
In the Brave New World of terrorism, where anybody with a spare AK-47, a knowledge
of kitchen chemistry or simply the will to die can become a player, the old
rules no longer apply. No matter what new governmental organizations come into
being, the only ones that could be truly effective are those that are quick
and agile, free of oversight and restriction...and outside the system.
Way outside the system.
In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, a firm named Hendley
Associates does a profitable business in stocks, bonds and international currencies,
but its real mission is quite different: to identify and locate terrorist threats,
and then deal with them, in whatever manner necessary. Set up with the knowledge
of President John Patrick Ryan, "The Campus" is always on the lookout
for promising new talent, its recruiters scattered throughout the armed forces
and government agencies—and three men are about to cross its radar.
The first is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico,
whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case. The
second is Caruso's brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first
combat action in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch. And the third is
their cousin...a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr.
Jack has always grown up around intrigue. As his father rose through the ranks
of the CIA and then into the White House, Jack received a life course in the
world and the way it works from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Service
men, and black ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez. He wants
to put it all to work now—but when he knocks on the front door of "The
Campus," he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to
encounter. For it is indeed a different world out there...and it is about to
become a lot more dangerous.
