All they have to do is catch him. <p/> With Clark on the run, it's up to Jack Jr. to stop a growing threat emerging in the Middle East, where a corrupt Pakistani general has entered into a deadly pact with a fanatical terrorist to procure four nuclear warheads they can use to blackmail any world power into submission--or face annihilation. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>Locked On</i></b> <p/>"Clancy's at top of his game."--<i>Chicago Tribune</i> <p/>"A winner...The novel's premises are all too plausible--which is what makes <i>Locked On</i> so exciting...Hard to put down"--<i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette <p/></i><b>More Praise for Tom Clancy</b><i><br></i><br>"He constantly taps the current world situation for its imminent dangers and spins them into an engrossing tale."--<i><i>The New York Times Book Review</i></i> <p/>"A brilliant describer of events."--<i><i>The Washington Post</i></i> <p/>"No one can equal his talent for making military electronics and engineering intelligible and exciting...He remains the best!"--<i><i>Houston Chronicle</i></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> A little more than thirty years ago <b>Tom Clancy </b>was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore's Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, <i>The Hunt for Red October</i>--the first of the phenomenally successful Jack Ryan novels--sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it "the perfect yarn." From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.<br><b><br>Mark Greaney</b> has a degree in international relations and political science.
