Jack Ryan Jr. finds that the scars of war can last a lifetime in the latest entry in Tom Clancy’s number-one New York Times best-selling series.
Twenty-six years ago, Dr. Cathy Ryan restored the eyesight of a young Bosnian girl who had been injured during an attack in the Bosnian War. Today, her son, Jack Ryan Jr. has agreed to track down the young woman and deliver a letter from his mother. What he finds shocks them both.
