M.P. Woodward - Tom Clancy Shadow State- A Jack Ryan Jr. Novel

Speaking of Writers

In TOM CLANCY SHADOW STATE, Jack Ryan, Jr. finds himself on the run after confronting a Chinese spy ring operating within the American technology supply chain. The vibrant economy of the new Vietnam is a shiny lure for Western capital. Not wanting to be left behind, Hendley Associates sends Jack to acquire a rare earth mining company operating in the Vietnamese highlands. However, the Chinese are determined to keep Jack from discovering a backdoor into critical American defense technology enabled by industrial espionage. He’s got to stay one step ahead of a pack of killers, and he’ll get no help from the government—because in the jungle, it’s the shadow state that rules. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: M.P. Woodward is the author of The Handler CIA espionage series (The Handler and Dead Drop). Woodward served for a decade as a U.S. Naval intelligence officer before going on to an international career in tech and streaming media. He lives in the Pacific Northwest. Thirty-five years ago, Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
