Jack Ryan
Defense protocol

The defector. The destroyer. The defense of a nation. For decades, Taiwan has been a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. Now China's new President Li Jian Jun has devised a secret military operation to take the island. Only one man knows how to stop the bloody plan : Minister of Defense Qin Haiyu. Fearing for his life, Qin covertly contacts the CIA and signals his desire to defect to the West.
To get Qin out, John Clark assembles an international task force and goes undercover in mainland China. Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Katie Ryan is deployed to the tip of the spear on the destroyer USS Jason Dunham to defend Taiwan. Threatened by an encircling Chinese armada, she's under pressure to find a flaw in the invaders' plan. President Jack Ryan needs Li's secret plans from Defense Minister Qin if he's to stave off a war.
Because America's Defense Protocol could lead to a game of mutual destruction. One that costs the lives of thousands... including his daughter.
