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 Espionage Genre Fiction Military Political Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense Russia Fiction Soviet Union Suspense United Kingdom Middle Ages Political Suspense

The actual spy thriller aspect of the story is great, some good writing. Sadly there is a lot of political and religious ideology being pushed the longer the book goes on. This book was written and published out of chronological order to the Ryan series and it shows.

Not bad but worst of the Jack Ryan series IMO

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Disclaimer: I am a biased reviewer as I am addicted to the Jack Ryan character from a young age.

Tom Clancy does an excellent job at describing in high detail the different story lines that make up the overall novel. Scott Brick nails the accents and character feel, to give the listener an almost pictorial visualization of the different characters.

I highly recommend this book as one of your first reads in getting to know Jack Ryan.

This was a good book and well done but never have I read a book were everything goes perfectly without a hitch, I kept waiting for a shoe to drop… something doesn’t go according to plan but it never does

Good book but

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.

Xenophobic, racist and sexist but with a good plot.
