Jack Stewart has revealed the cover for Tom Clancy Zero Point and one detail in particular gives a possible insight into who Jack Ryan Jr. might be up against.

We know from the blurb that Jack Jr. ends up in Buenos Aires and this is likely the areal scene that is depicted. But the main image is of a Soviet Makarov PM (Pistolet Makarova). A suppressed Makarov strongly points to an adversary of Soviet-bloc origins.

Zero Point is the second book from Jack Stewart in the Jack Ryan Jr. series. It will be published in May 2027, and follows his highly successful debut in the series, Pressure Depth.

Zero Point

Jack Ryan Jr. finds himself caught in the middle of South American revolution in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Jack Ryan, Jr. is in Silicon Valley to conduct due diligence on Blackout Labs, a software firm that is revolutionizing electrical grid software. The company’s harddriving COO Lucia Benitez is leaving the presentation when Jack approaches to schedule a meeting on behalf of his investors. But before he can, the quiet streets outside Stanford University erupt in gunfire when a carefully executed ambush leaves her driverless taxi wrecked and her attackers gone without a word. No robbery. No message. Just a clean, professional attempt on her life.

Alarmed by the threat to the young woman, Jack follows her back to Buenos Aires to watch her back and hopefully uncover the origin of the threat. It’s a daunting task at the best of times, but as the political situation begins to heat up in Argentina, Jack begins to feel less like a knight and more like a pawn.
