The Teeth of the Tiger is a thriller novel, written by Tom Clancy and released on August 11, 2003. Set in a post-9/11 world, it is the first book to feature The Campus, a covert intelligence agency created by President Jack Ryan before the end of his term as chief executive.
The old rules no longer apply – anybody with a spare AK47 or a knowledge of kitchen chemistry can become a player.
In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, ‘The Campus’, set up with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan identifies and locates terrorist threats – then deals with them, in whatever manner is necessary. It’s an organisation always on the lookout for new recruits – men like Jack Ryan Jr, the President’s son.
Filled with the exceptional realism and cutting-edge authenticity that are his hallmarks, this is Clancy at his best – and there is none better.
