Espionage

Clear and Present Danger

by Tom Clancy · Jack Ryan Universe series

Jack Ryan uncovers a covert U.S. war against Colombian drug cartels, where American soldiers are operating without oversight and the rules of engagement have collapsed. Clancy pivots from the Cold War to the War on Drugs, with moral ambiguity creeping into his usual procedural clarity.
