Publisher's Summary

In this previously untold adventure, a young Jack Ryan goes behind the Iron Curtain to seek the truth about a potential Soviet defector in the most shocking entry in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

1985

A top secret F117 aircraft crashes into the Nevada desert. The Nighthawk is the most advanced fighting machine in the world and the Soviets will do anything to get their hands on its secrets.

In East Berlin, a mysterious figure contacts the CIA with an incredible offer—invaluable details of his government’s espionage plans in return for asylum.

It’s an offer they can’t pass up…if it’s genuine, but the risks are too great to blindly stumble into a deal. With the East German secret police closing in, someone will have to go to behind the Berlin Wall to investigate the potential defector. It’s a job Deputy Director James Greer can only trust to one man—Jack Ryan.

Ryan is a former Marine and a brilliant CIA analyst who’s been the architect of some of the CIA’s biggest coups but this time he’s in enemy territory with a professional assassin on his tail. Can he get the right answers before the Cold War turns into a Red Winter?

Worthy successor to Tom Clancy

This story fills in some of the gaps from the original Jack Ryan stories and adds to the personal history shared by many of the key characters.

Kept me hooked to the end

As a fan of Tom Clancy for some time now, some of his Ghost writers don't always hit... this one did! well written, well executed, and kept me hooked until the very end.

Enjoyable read, but makes me yearn for Clancy

This was a fun story that fills in the time between Red October and Clear and Present Danger, Like Red Rabbit, it's nice to read about younger Jack Ryan, and to see characters like Jim Greer and Judge Moore again, especially since the original books leapfrog through Jack's career in pretty big strides.

However, the plot is pretty predictable and linear, with a small cast of characters, especially compared to Clancy books of that era, which were very intricate with multiple converging storylines. Stylistically, 'said' is a far overused past participle in this book. It probably sounds worse narrated than it would read, as it becomes very repetitive.

That said, this a worthy addition to the Ryanverse, and Jack, Mary Pat, and John all come across as authentic.

I'm a big fan of Scott Brick, but this is not one of my favourite narrations. Especially at the beginning, it sounds a little funny, for some reason - almost like, he is using differrent equipment. Still, I love his performances!

Nice look into Ryan’s and MP’s past

A refreshing look back into the past of Ryan and MP’s past. The story creates a deeper back story to the relationship between the two seen in other books. A good stand alone store with lots of little details that help to creat deeper understanding from other books.

Typical Tom Clancy

- a good story line, imaginative but not entirely credible. Jack takes on a subordinate role overall but the other characters are never fully developed. The plot works but the connections are fragmented and not always credibly explained.

The heavy emphasis on the technology of hand guns is a typical and persistent feature but has little to do with the main plot. I finished it but then thought, so what?

Fantastic yarn!

I love the series, and this was a throwback to earlier work. A wonderfully woven story, filling in some history for us Ryan fans. Mary Pat kicked some butt!

Filling gaps from behind the Iron Curtain

Love filling in the pieces between Ryan's knighthood and his sojourn to Colombia with Foley in her prime and Clark on overwatch. Thanks for showing why Ryan and Foley are so close. Thanks for being true to the characters @marccameron Tom would have appreciated it.
