Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Defense Protocol (Book 25)

The revised content is as follows:

In the #1 New York Times bestselling Jack Ryan series, the stakes have never been higher as a power-hungry Chinese president threatens Taiwan. For decades, Taiwan has been a thorn in the side of the Chinese government, viewed as a rogue province by the People's Republic of China (PRC), despite being an independent nation to the rest of the world. Previous Chinese governments have tried to subdue the island through economic force and diplomatic pressure, but the new Chinese President, Li Jian Jun, is done with such tactics.

Determined to reunite Taiwan with the mainland, Li has devised a secret military operation to take control of the island. The only person who knows how to stop Li's violent plan is Defense Minister Qin Haiyu. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Qin covertly reaches out to the CIA in Beijing, signaling his desire to defect to the West.

To extract Qin from China, John Clark creates an international task force reminiscent of Rainbow Six and goes undercover on the mainland. Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Katie Ryan is deployed to the USS Jason Dunham, a destroyer stationed at the tip of the spear, tasked with defending Taiwan against the encircling Chinese armada. Facing immense pressure, she must find a way to exploit a flaw in the invaders' plan.

For his part, President Jack Ryan has the full might of the US military at his disposal, but what he truly needs are Li's secret plans from Defense Minister Qin in order to avert a war. The stakes are high, as America's Defense Protocol could lead to a game of mutual destruction, costing the lives of thousands of young soldiers, sailors, and special operators, including his own daughter.
