Threat Vector BY Tom Clancy


This IS Only the second   Tom Clancy BOOK THAT I HAVE READ, DIDN’T REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PART OF MULTIPLE BOOKS OF A CHARACTER CALLED Jack Ryan.  None the less the book was interesting read and had nothing to do with the earlier books. If an action packed thriller is what you are looking for then this is the book for you. The book deals with the new age espionage where cyber links have replaced humans. One of the few books I   have read which deal with the conflict between the two heavy weights US and China.

The book opens with the assassination of a group of ex Gaddafi loyalists by a bunch of American guys.  These americans who are a part of a highly secret task force are caught off guard when they realize that their covert mission was not so covert after all. On the other side of the world in China the president of  the country is contemplating suicide as he finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy  to oust and arrest him. How the Chinese chairman of armed forces manages to infiltrate the entire US information systems and bring the world on the brink of a world war forms  the plot of the book.

The book offers a crash course in Chinese political system and the Vern ability of entire world’s information systems with the advent of internet.
