Clancy's first published novel. When Marko Ramius, captain of Soviet Navy's most advanced ballistic missile submarine Red October, goes rogue, CIA analyst Jack Ryan must prove his theory that Ramius intends to defect to the United States. The 1990 movie stars Alec Baldwin as Ryan and Sean Connery as Ramius.
2. Red Storm Rising (1986, with Larry Bond)
War between NATO and USSR. This book is not a member of the Ryanverse, although the character Robert Toland shares many similarities with Ryan.
3. Patriot Games (1987)
Prequel to The Hunt for Red October. Ryan and his family become targets of the an Irish terrorist group after he foils their kidnapping attempt on the Prince and Princess of Wales in London. The 1992 movie stars Harrison Ford as Ryan and Sean Bean as his antagonist Sean Miller.
4. The Cardinal of the Kremlin (1988)
The sequel to The Hunt for Red October. First appearance of John Clark and Sergey Golovko. Ryan extracts CARDINAL, CIA's highest agent in place in the Soviet military.
5. Clear and Present Danger (1989)
Ryan becomes acting Deputy Director of Intelligence at the CIA and learns that he is being kept in the dark by his colleagues who are conducting a covert war against a drug cartel based in Colombia. The 1994 film stars Harrison Ford as Ryan, Willem Dafoe as Clark, and Raymond Cruz as Domingo "Ding" Chavez.
6. The Sum of All Fears (1991)
Palestinian and former East German terrorists conspire to bring the United States and Soviet Union into war by detonating a nuclear weapon lost by Israel. Ryan, now Deputy Director of Intelligence but ostracized by the U.S. president and his mistress, tries to avert the crisis. The 2002 film stars Ben Affleck as Ryan and Liev Schreiber as Clark, and changes the identity and motivation of the terrorists to neo-Nazis.
7. Without Remorse (1993)
Without Remorse takes place during the Vietnam War, when Ryan was a teenager. Ex-SEAL John Kelly fights a one man war against drug dealers in Baltimore, attracting the attention of Ryan’s father Emmet, a Baltimore police detective. He also helps plan and execute a raid on a prisoner-of-war camp in North Vietnam, and later joins the CIA as John Clark. The 2021 film stars Michael B. Jordan as Clark and Jamie Bell as Robert Ritter.
8. Debt of Honor (1994)
A secret cabal of extreme nationalists gains control of Japan and start a war with the U.S. Ryan, now National Security Advisor, as well as Clark and Chavez, agents in Japan, help win the war. The Vice President resigns in a scandal, and the President appoints Ryan to replace him. A vengeful Japanese airline pilot then crashes a jetliner into the U.S. Capitol during a joint session of Congress attended by most senior U.S. government officials, including the President. Ryan thus becomes the new President through succession.
9. Executive Orders (1996)
Now-President Ryan survives press hazing, an assassination attempt, and a biological warfare attack on the United States. Clark and Chavez trace the virus to a Middle Eastern madman, and the U.S. military goes to work.
10. SSN: Strategies for Submarine Warfare (1996, with Martin Greenberg)
Follows the missions of USS Cheyenne in a future war with China precipitated by China's invasion of the disputed Spratly Islands. Also not part of the Ryanverse, SSN is actually a loosely connected collection of "scenario" chapters in support of the eponymous video game.
11. Rainbow Six (1998)
Released to coincide with the video game of the same name. Clark and Chavez, who is now Clark's son-in-law, lead an elite multinational anti-terrorist unit as they unravel a worldwide genocide attempt by eco-terrorists.
12. The Bear and the Dragon (2000)
War between Russia and China. Ryan recognizes the independence of Taiwan, Chinese police officers kill a Roman Catholic Cardinal, and American armed forces help Russia defeat a Chinese invasion of Siberia.

17. Locked On (2011, with Mark Greaney)
While Jack Jr. trains to become a field operative within The Campus, his father campaigns for re-election as President of the United States. A devout enemy of Jack Sr. launches a privately funded vendetta to discredit him, while a corrupt Pakistani general has entered into a deadly pact with Dagestani terrorists to procure nuclear warheads.
18. Threat Vector (2012, with Mark Greaney)
President Ryan and The Campus must deal with a Chinese expansionist government intent on annexing territories in the South China Sea by military force as well as Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

19. Command Authority (2013, with Mark Greaney)
