Order of Jack Ryan/John Clark Books

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan/John Clark series spans nearly three decades and encompasses 15 novels from the acclaimed American author. This beloved series has captured readers' imaginations so powerfully that three of its books have made the leap to the big screen.

Jack Ryan burst onto the literary scene in The Hunt for Red October and has since become one of fiction's most recognizable characters. His cinematic journey has seen him brought to life by three distinguished actors: Alec Baldwin starred as Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, Harrison Ford took on the role for both Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, and Ben Affleck portrayed the character in The Sum of All Fears. Meanwhile, John Clark, who first emerged in The Cardinal of the Kremlin, was memorably played by Liev Schreiber in The Sum of All Fears.
