I own a copy, read count: 4
This is probably in the top three of my favorite Clancy books. It starts out where "Debt of Honor" leaves off, with an ending that mirrors real life in Sep 11, 2001. Here in "Executive Orders" Jack Ryan comes into his own. He has already pulled off one of the biggest defections from the USSR, saved the Crown Prince of Britain, save our own men in Columbia and stopped a nuclear war...what else is there to do? As President of the US Jack now steers us through the latest crisis while fighting to keep the top post.

Most of the Jack Ryan books have been made into movies, and you'll likely recognize the names. So we have...Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games
The Cardinal of the Kremlin
Clear and Present Danger
Sum of All Fears
Debt of Honor
Executive Orders
The Bear and the Dragon (I wouldn't reccomend for teens)
The Teeth of the Tiger - (mostly about about Jack Ryan's son, Jack Ryan Jr., but Jack Ryan is in there as well.)
Red Rabbit - (takes place before Hunt for Red October)
Dead or Alive - newest and continues after Teeth of the Tiger, but Jack Ryan Sr. is in there more.
He has two other books that are the same kind of fiction as well, Red Storm Rising & Without Remorse.
Hope that helps, walt
