Tom Clancy FAQ - The Bear and the Dragon
 This
book was announced by Clancy as described in this message:
Clancy
Speaks on Something Else. You'll notice in the post,
he taunts us about a "new job" for another character and
the newsgroup participants having guessed right. This turned
out to be Robby having a new job. Release date was August 14,
2000.
This was taken from http://www.randomhouse.com:
Time and again, Tom Clancy's novels have been praised not only
for their big-scale drama and propulsive narrative drive, but for
their cutting-edge prescience in predicting future events. In The
Bear and The Dragon, the future is very near at hand indeed.
Newly elected in his own right, Jack Ryan has found that being
President has gotten no easier. Domestic pitfalls await him at every
turn, there's a revolution in Liberia, the Asian economy is going
down the tubes, and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to take
out the chairman of the SVR - the former KGB - with a rocket-propelled
grenade. Things are unstable enough in Russia without high-level
assassination, but even more disturbing may be the identities of
the assassins. Were they political enemies, the Russian Mafia, disaffected
former KGB? Or, Ryan wonders, is something far more dangerous at
work here.
Ryan is right. For even while he dispatches his most trusted eyes
and ears, including black ops specialist John Clark, to find out
the truth of the matter, forces in China are moving ahead with a
plan of truly audacious proportions. If they succeed, the world
as we know it will never look the same. If they fail--the consequences
will be unspeakable.
