Publisher's Summary

In the early 1980s, long before he was President or head of the CIA, even before a submarine named Red October crossed the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was an historian, teacher, and recent ex-Marine temporarily living in England. A series of deadly encounters with an IRA splinter group had brought him to the attention of the CIA's Deputy Director, Vice Admiral James Greer - and when Greer asked him to come aboard Jack was quick to accept. The opportunity was irresistible.

Then Jack forgot about the rest of his work, because on his first day, an extraordinary document crossed his desk. The new Pope had just delivered a private ultimatum to Warsaw: If the government persisted in its repression, he would feel compelled to resign the papacy and return to Poland.

That was going to have consequences.

In Moscow, another man was contemplating those very same consequences. Yuri Andropov, the chairman of the KGB, did not like what this meant for him or for his nation. All it took was one man to cause everything he had worked for to crumble...and all it took was one man to stop him. The Pope was very powerful - but he was also mortal.

And so it begins, an almost unthinkable plot - a plan to bring down not just leaders, but nations. Ryan will find himself in the middle of a chain reaction, a high-stakes game meant to shake the world...and in which a novice CIA analyst might just be out of his depth.

Xenophobic, racist and sexist but with a good plot.

Apparently anywhere but the USA is inferior, women not well represented and casual semi-frequent use of “n***ardly”. The plot is ok, but there’s a good chunk to be skipped.

It was really fantastic to enjoy this audiobook in chronological order, after Patriot Games, also performed by Scott Brick.

Readers voice bas

I love Tom Clancy books and have read or listened to just about all of them. I have many on my shelf. This one however is hard to follow by listening because of the reader. His voice is annoying, he attempts accents, but can’t pull them off. As well there’s no pause when the author switches between story lines. Not worth the money or credit.

Another winner.

Huge fan of Tom Clancy and this is another hit. The auration was first rate. The accents were there, enough to give a clear distinction between Russians, Brits, and Americans, but suntle enough to not seem overly theatrical. Very easy to listen to.

Skip it

I regret spending my time listening to this story. Quickly went from potentially good story to irritating hyper-American Christian propaganda nonsense. I will be seeking a refund on my credit.

Not Clancy's best effort.

a lack-lustre novel by Clancy. I enjoy most of his books but this one reeaaaallly drags and didn't pique my interest at all. He seems to get side tracked and go off on annoying political and socio-economic tangents that really were tough to get through. and yes I know politics play a key role in most of his Jack Ryan novels but this time around it is drear and frustrating.

performance was fine as usual but I couldn't even finish it and I'm half way through. Normally Clancy's stories are buzzing with intrigue and action but this slow narrative failed to interest me. its a shame I wasted money on it.
