In Command Authority, Jack Ryan returns as a pivotal figure in a high-stakes narrative. Years ago, as a young CIA analyst, Ryan uncovered not just financial malfeasance during a mission linked to a Swiss bank but also the presence of a KGB assassin known as Zenith. Despite his efforts, the killer remained elusive. Fast forward to the present, where a new authoritarian leader, President Valeri Volodin, has emerged in Russia, his rise marked by deception and a violent past. Volodin's ambitions threaten to restore Russia's former dominance, instilling fear worldwide. When an old friend of the Ryans is poisoned with a radioactive substance, the investigation leads Jack Ryan, Jr. to Russia. Alongside his allies, including John Clark and the covert operatives of the Campus, he must confront an international crisis that has been brewing for three decades. As President Ryan grapples with a campaign against Russian aggression, his son engages in a covert battle against a formidable enemy, escalating tensions that could lead to global conflict and jeopardize survival itself. This gripping tale is a continuation of the Jack Ryan saga, following the acclaimed Threat Vector and Locked On.
