PATRIOT GAMES

The world's number-one terrorist is about to unleash a holy war. Only one agency, one man, can stop him . . . The Campus was secretly created by President Jack Ryan to covertly eliminate terrorists. Now it faces its greatest threat: a sadistic killer known as the Emir. Mastermind of countless horrific attacks, the Emir has eluded capture by every law enforcement agency in the world. And he is about to unleashed a monumental strike at the heart of America. But on the Emir's trail is intelligence expert Jack Ryan Jr. Following in his legendary father's footsteps, he and his allies at the Campus are on a manhunt that will take them across the globe, into the shadowy arenas of political gamesmanship, in a race to prevent the fall of the West.

Dead or alive

Le Campus : une organisation secrète, créée sous l'administration du président Jack Ryan, chargée de traquer, localiser et éliminer les terroristes. Et tous ceux qui les protègent. Son pire ennemi : l'Emir, un tueur insaisissable, qui a programmé la destruction de l'Occident. Ses hommes : Jack Ryan Jr et ses cousins, plus quelques recrues de choc. Leur mission : prendre l'Émir. Mort ou vif ! Mort ou vif signe le retour tant attendu du maître incontesté du techno-thriller. Comme toujours parfaitement informé des enjeux politiques et militaires les plus secrets de la planète, l'auteur d'A la poursuite d'Octobre rouge et du terrifiant Sur ordre qui avait décrit cinq ans à l'avance les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, s'y montre, ici, avant la mort de Ben Laden, d'une prescience troublante.

Mort ou vif Tome 2

L'auteur du best-seller Octobre rouge nous entraîne ici dans les arcanes de la recherche militaire, autour d'une arme à laser susceptible de bouleverser l'équilibre des forces mondiales.
Jack Ryan a pour mission de percer le secret de cette invention. Et pour complice le colonel Filitov, alias le Cardinal, haut dignitaire russe acquis à la collaboration avec l'Occident.
Tom Clancy déploie dans ce roman une parfaite connaissance des enjeux militaires, stratégiques et techniques du monde contemporain, qui a sidéré les experts les plus chevronnés du Pentagone. Et l'art époustouflant d'un maître du suspense.

Le Cardinal du Kremlin

A deadly game of hide-and-seek played out in 18 days over 4000 miles of ocean. Red October is the Soviet Navy's newest ballistic missile submarine. When the whole crew decides to defect, the Soviet fleet sets out to destroy it, while the US and British fleets attempt to prevent them.

THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER

Parler de la violence féminine provoque toujours un malaise tant il est difficile d'imaginer la femme en criminelle. Pourtant, la maltraitance des enfants est avant tout le fait des mères, la délinquance des adolescentes est en nette progression, y compris pour des actes d'agression à caractère sexuel, et les hommes battus sortent de leur silence. Si les médias se font l'écho des crimes les plus spectaculaires, infanticides répétés, actes de barbarie guerrière... on ne peut décompter les agressions quotidiennes souvent plus discrètes, verbales ou psychologiques, mais courantes au bureau ou à l'école. Alors, faut-il en finir avec un tabou : la figure de la femme protectrice et aimante ? Ou, comme Liliane Daligand, se demander ce qui a changé pour que cette violence, qui a peut-être toujours existé, éclate maintenant au grand jour ? S'appuyant sur les expertises qu'elle a été amenée à réaliser, l'auteur éclaire les ressorts de cette violence, une violence que nous maîtrisons, mais qui n'en reste pas moins enfouie en chacun de nous, hommes et femmes.

Chef de guerre Tome 2

A la poursuite d'Octobre rouge ou la découverte du "thriller technologique": l'histoire de la désertion d'Octobre rouge, sous-marin soviétique ultra-sophistiqué, traqué par la flotte soviétique et poursuivi par l'armada américaine, est en France une révélation de l'univers Clancy, de ses remarquables connaissances techniques et militaires, de son sens du détail vrai, de la puissance de ses intrigues : un genre unique est né.

A La Poursuite D'octobre Rouge (Jack Ryan, #3)

Bien avant de devenir président des Etats-Unis, Jack Ryan était un jeune analyste de la CIA. L'une de ses premières missions fut d'élucider les propos étonnants d'un transfuge soviétique qui prétendait qu'en URSS des officiels de haut rang projetaient d'assassiner le pape. Ryan fut chargé de vérifier la véracité du complot puis de se battre pour déjouer l'attentat.
Car ce n'était pas seulement la vie du pape qui était en jeu, mais tout l'équilibre du monde occidental.

Red Rabbit (Tome 1)

The Barnes & Noble Review Tom Clancy has scored a big hit with his new blockbuster, Rainbow Six. Clancy is known for his epic techno-thrillers, often about a larger-than-life hero against a larger-than-life threat to humanity or, at the very least, the American way. The Hunt for Red October established him as one of the best-selling writers of the century and soon made his major hero, Jack Ryan, a household name among Clancy enthusiasts. But also appearing in some of the Ryan books is John Clark. John is a more ambiguous hero of Clancy's, a haunted man who delves into an even darker side of humanity than Jack Ryan does.  Clark is at the center of Rainbow Six, a complex, multi-layered story of an elite team of international antiterrorists. Clark and his buddies do not shy away from using violence as a means of resolving issues with terrorists, and this gives Six something of a dark edge to it. Clancy handles all this superbly, and crosses over into the horror-thriller area with his various subplots. There are a ton of subplots, but by the end of this novel, they're all interwoven like lost strands of some grand tapestry.  The story opens with a terrorist hijacking. Clark is an ex-Navy SEAL, a man who is quick to make decisions and to take the toughest but quickest road to success. He and a couple of his men are onboard the jet as the terrorists redirect the plane to an area of Spain. The terrorists want the Spanish ambassador, who was supposed to be on board, but it turns out that only his wife is there. They are doomed from the start, as they are far too amateurish forJohnClark and the men of Rainbow Six. In short order, Clark and his men have the jet back in the hands of its rightful pilot and are heading for their next destination, the Rainbow Six headquarters in England. Rainbow Six is a top-secret group that works internationally and consists of highly skilled men in excellent physical and mental shape who are up to the task of being superheroes of sorts. Clark's son-in-law, Ding Chavez, is also part of the crew.  Meanwhile, someone is taking in homeless drunks and giving them a comfortable setting in which to live, as well as all the expensive liquor they could desire. But something is in the booze, something that might just be a key to unveiling a terrifying experiment. A Russian assassin is also on the loose, overseeing presumed terrorist operations that seem to involve huge superpowers. When the next international incident occurs, Clark and his men are ready to go in.  This time, it's a Swiss bank. Several men are holding hostages at the bank, and Rainbow Six gets in despite all obstacles. To protect the lives of the hostages, the good guys kill the robbers. But are they really robbers? Did whoever is behind the scenes of these terrorist activities intend for Rainbow Six to eliminate these men? The questions and complexities grow when we learn of top-secret experiments with drugs that may just break the genetic code.  As Clark and his team get closer to what may be an international terrorist conspiracy, they learn that even the highest-placed officials in the halls of Washington, D.C., and the lowliest of assassins have more in common than at first meets the eye. Good and evil cross over into each other for Clark as he struggles to set right the imbalance of the world of terrorism.  Clancy has penned a thrilling novel, full of paranoia, intrigue, terror, and tension that you can cut with a knife. His millions of fans, as well as newcomers to the genre, will eat this one up, and deservedly so! Highly recommended.  Douglas Clegg
