Synopsis

It is very early in Jack Ryan’s career—so early that he has not yet even become an analyst for the CIA. But a series of nasty encounters with an IRA splinter group has brought Ryan to the attention of the CIA’s Deputy Director and his British counterpart. They offer him his first job as a freelance analyst, and he readily accepts. Debriefing a high-level Russian defector, however, he comes across an unbelievable plot: top Soviet officials, including Yuri Andropov, are planning to assassinate Pope John Paul II. Ryan must battle first to verify the plot, and then to stop it. But what chance does a novice CIA analyst have against a cat-and-mouse game between the world’s two great superpowers?

“Among the handful of superstars, Clancy still reigns, and he is not likely to be dethroned anytime soon.”—Washington Post

About The Author

Thirty 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.Scott Brick, an acclaimed voice artist, screenwriter, and actor, has performed on film, television, and radio. His stage appearances throughout the US include Cyrano, Hamlet, and MacBeth. In the audio industry, Scott has won over 20 Earphones Awards, as well as the 2003 Audie Award in the Best Science Fiction category for Dune: The Butlerian Jihad. After recording nearly 250 books in five years, AudioFile Magazine named Scott “one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy” and proclaimed him one of their Golden Voices. Brick’s range is unparalleled as he reads thrillers to narrative nonfiction, from biographies to science fiction with aplomb.

Goodreads review by Tyler on April 15, 2011

In college, Clancy lowered my GPA by almost a full point one year. It was the mid-90's, and I started reading him and got so addicted I would skip class, call out sick from work, order pizza, and read all day. I immediately snapped up new releases, like Debt of Honor and Rainbow Six and loved them.......more

Goodreads review by Ken on July 15, 2020

This Jack Ryan novel is a real oddity. Set early in the characters timeline, this was one of the last written by Clancy. Set soon after the events of Patriot Games, the Ryan's try to adapt to life in London. Having read both this year it was apparent with how Clancy's style had changed, it didn't quit......more

Five spy-citing stars! This is Cold War miniseries gold. Of all the Ryan books, this is the one I remembered the most.......more

Goodreads review by Tanabrus on February 21, 2024

Un po' deludente, a dirla tutta, questo secondo volume su Jack Ryan. Jack per buona parte della storia rimane in disparte, con poco da fare e poche occasioni di brillare. Spesso risultano poi fastidiosi sia Jack sia, soprattutto, la moglie, intrisi di dottrina suprematista americana e di pregiudizi ve......more

Goodreads review by Brian on June 27, 2017

Many panned this book, but I really enjoyed it – almost as much as Patriot Games. Due to his background in the military, finance, academia and espionage, Jack Ryan's perspective is always interesting. Actually, the author could remind us of these various parts of his main character a little less, an......more
