Following their smash-hit, chart-topping first entry into the Ryanverse, Andrews & Wilson’s second Jack Ryan novel, Tom Clancy Defense Protocol, is set to hit bookstores on December 3, 2024.
Brian Andrews and Jeff Wison, the thriller genre’s most dynamic writing duo who are best known for their Tier One franchise, proved to be a slam-dunk hire to take over the Jack Ryan Senior series following the departure of March Cameron, who himself replaced Mark Greaney years prior. A&W’s first Jack Ryan thriller, Tom Clancy Act of Defiance, was a major New York Times bestseller and has proven to be one of this summer’s hottest thrillers.
A direct sequel to Clancy’s iconic debut, The Hunt for Red October (1984), Act of Defiance serves as a direct sequel forty years after Clancy first introduced readers to CIA analyst Jack Ryan, who remains one of the biggest names in publishing today.
Now, Andrews & Wilson are set to release their second Jack Ryan thriller, and given the success of their first offering, expectations are crazy high going into their sophomore effort.
Release Date: December 3, 2024

The stakes are sky-high when a minor misstatement from President Jack Ryan threatens the safety of Taiwan in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Every word a president utters is weighed and examined, but none more so than when he is talking about Taiwan. That’s why it’s shocking that President Jack Ryan seems to imply that the US has no appetite for a war to protect Taiwan from the communist Chinese on the mainland.
President Ryan is determined to protect the independence of the island nation, but he is determined that one slip of the tongue should not cost thousands of young soldiers, sailors and Marines their lives.
Thirty-five years ago, Tom Clancy 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, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times 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.
