The Bear and the Dragon

Jack Ryan finds being president doesn't get easier. 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 has tried to take out the chairman of the former KGB with a rocket-propelled grenade. Then, forces in China start moving ahead with a plan of truly audacious proportions.
