The Teeth of the Tiger

The Teeth of the Tiger is the last Jack Ryan novel Tom Clancy wrote solo, and the book that sets up everything the Jack Ryan Jr. series will become. Jack Jr., twenty-three and looking for a purpose his famous last name doesn’t box him into, joins The Campus — a private intelligence company that uses Hendley Associates, a successful Wall Street firm, as cover. He starts as an analyst. He does not stay one for long.

Alongside Jack Jr., the book introduces his cousins Dominic and Brian Caruso, and reintroduces John Clark and Domingo Chavez from the main Jack Ryan series — the operational core of the Jack Ryan Jr. novels for the next twenty years.
