"The Teeth of the Tiger" is the first "Jack Ryan Jr" novel by Tom Clancy. Just before Jack Ryan stepped down as US President, he created a secret organisation designed to operate in areas where the CIA and FBI couldn't go - able to use any and all means to neutralise terrorists who threatened America. Now his son, Jack Ryan, Jr, is part of that organisation and he's on the front line when a group of Islamic terrorists backed up by Colombian drug smuggles strike at the heart of American society. With no conventional way to hit back at the shadowy ringleaders, it's left to Jack Ryan Jr to take on the terrorists the only way he knows how...Internationally bestselling author Tom Clancy first introduced "Jack Ryan Jr" in "The Teeth of the Tiger", returning to his story in "Dead or Alive" and "Locked On". "Threat Vector", the fourth thriller in the gripping series, will be available from Penguin in December 2012.
