Clear and Present Danger


When a US Coast Guard Cutter stops and boards a yacht in the Caribbean, they discover that the owner and his family have been murdered. CIA Analyst Jack Ryan is assigned to find out what it was all about. When Ryan briefs the president on the facts of the murders, the president is upset. The murdered man was a personal friend of the president for many years. The president authorizes Operation Reciprocity, in a
roundabout fashion, through Admiral Cutter, the National Security Advisor, by stating that the Cali Cartel is a Clear and Present Danger to the National Security of the United States. Reciprocity turns out to be a covert attack on the production facilities of the Cali Cartel. In the meantime, Admiral James Greer, Deputy Director of Intelligence, has become ill and enters the hospital. Ryan is appointed Acting Deputy Director of Intelligence until Greer recovers. He is the one who must brief the Congressional Oversight Committee on Reciprocity to get the money for it. Cutter and Robert Ritter decide not to tell Ryan what Reciprocity really is, claiming that it is aid to the Colombian government for their fight against the Cartel. Ryan briefs the committee and assures them that no US troops are involved. The money is granted. A small team of US Special Operations troopers are inserted into Colombia and Reciprocity begins. Ryan continues his investigation of the yacht murders and uncovers startling information. As a consequence, Ryan in is Bogota when the Cartel retaliates for the attacks. As each side escalates the undeclared and secret war, Jack Ryan is beginning to understand that he has been tricked into lying to Congress. The international situation heats up as Jack tries to discover what is really going on. As he gets closer and closer to the truth, Cutter and Ritter start covering up and shifting the operation. If Ryan finally discovers the truth, will he even be able to reveal it? And at what cost?
