During a well-earned break, Jack Ryan Jr runs into old flame Renee Moore in a scenic Barcelona café. But Renee is not so pleased to see him. Distracted, she says she's waiting for someone and can't talk. She promises to call him later, and sends him out onto the street. Which is when the bomb goes off.

There's nothing he can do to save Renee. But as he cradles her, she utters one last word with her final breath: 'Sammler'. 

Who did she mean? What did she know? And what trouble had Renee got herself into?

Sent to the Balkans on an analytical mission, Jack Ryan Jr visits Sarajevo to meet Aida, the girl whose eyesight his mother saved in the war twenty-five years ago. He finds a selfless, attractive woman helping refugees in a restless country where a new war is brewing.

Coming to her aid, Jack is soon tangling with the Serbian mafia while dodging assassins from the mysterious Iron Syndicate. Alone and defying recall orders, he believes this is more than local trouble.

Has someone lit the fuse on the next world war? Is Jack endangering Aida trying to find out? And what can he alone do to stop it?
