Dr. Jack Ryan gets linked up with his old tag-team partner Jim Greer, and the scene shifts to Caracas, Venezuela. The nation is in the throes of chaos with the corrupt ruler Nicolás Reyes being challenged by the humanitarian Gloria Bonalde in the upcoming election. Jack and his old Iraq buddy Senator Moreno travel to Caracas on a mission to get the truth out of President Reyes. It turns out that Reyes lies to them, and they recognize the deceit. But only Dr. Jack will make it out of Caracas alive; his dear friend Moreno will be gunned down in a vicious act of terror.
Dr. Jack and Jim Greer suspect the Russians of providing missiles to Venezuela via the vessel La Guaira with shades of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. It appears as well that the Russian vessel Almeta may have launched a satellite at the behest of the Venezuelans.
The nefarious Max Schenkel is the man on the ground conducting the terror operation, having bought off the police. In Venezuela, trust is built over a period of years, but may be purchased instantly. A snoopy spy named Lina, who speaks six languages, catches Dr. Jack in a honey trap for a night in his hotel room. Lina was successful in planting a bug in Dr. Jack's room.
Jack and ambassador Lisa Calabrese are seriously injured in the terror attack that killed Senator Moreno. The police chief's family is taken out. Dr. Jack must make the painful phone call to the widow Moreno.
Bummer!
