Synopsis

On a routine intelligence gathering mission in Tehran, Jack Ryan, Jr., has lunch with his oldest friend, Seth Gregory, an engineer overseeing a transcontinental railway project. As they part, Seth gives Jack a key, along with a perplexing message.

The next day Jack is summoned to an apartment where two men claim Seth has disappeared gone to ground with funds for a vital intelligence operation. Jack s oldest friend has turned, they insist.

They leave Jack with a warning: If you hear from Seth Gregory, call us immediately. And do not get involved.

But they don t know Jack. He won t abandon a friend in need.

His pursuit of the truth will lead him across Iran, through the war-torn Caucasus, and finally deep into territory coveted by the increasingly aggressive Russian Federation. Along the way, Jack is joined by Seth s primary agent, Ysabel, a enigmatic Iranian woman who seems to be his only clue to Seth s whereabouts.

Jack soon finds himself lost in a maze of intrigue, lies, and betrayal where no one is who they seem to be not even Seth, who s harboring a secret of his own that harkens back to the Cold War. A secret that is driving him to the brink of treachery.

Racing against the clock, Jack must unravel the mystery: Who is friend and who is foe? Before it s over, Jack Ryan, Jr., may have to choose between his loyalty to Seth and his loyalty to America.

From the Back Cover:

Campus operative Jack Ryan Jr is in Tehran, when he meets an old friend, Seth.

As they part, Seth passes Jack a key, gives him a cryptic message - and vanishes.

Now MI6 and the CIA are after Jack. They're desperate to find Seth. Jack tells them he knows nothing - but perhaps he knows enough to find his friend on his own . . .

In a dangerous foreign country, chased by agents from all sides, unsure who - if anyone - he can trust, Jack has few clues and no space for mistakes.

He's risking everything for Seth. But whose side is his old friend on?

And what if it's not Jack's?
