Description

Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!

Tom Clancy reveals the details of Jack Ryan's first days with the CIA in this #1 New York Times bestseller.

It’s the early 1980s—and historian, teacher, and recent ex-Marine Jack Ryan is now a CIA officer on loan to the British SIS. On his very first day, an extraordinary document crosses his desk. Because of government repression in Poland, the new Pope, John Paul II, has threatened to resign his papacy.
 
In Moscow, another man is contemplating the very same document. Yuriy Andropov, the chairman of the KGB, does not like what he reads, does not like what it means for him or for his nation. All it takes is one man to cause everything he has worked for to crumble. All it takes is one man to stop him. The Pope is very powerful, but he is also mortal....

    Great intro into field ops for the young Jack Ryan. I erroneously listened to another website’s recommendation to not read this book in the precise order it was written in. This is a great read. It follows Patriot Games and precedes Cardinal of the Kremlin.

    This is very unlike Clancy’s other books. The amount of detail in every scene makes this a very tedious and slow read. Some things are said 2 or 3 times in different ways. I’m struggling to get past page 300. If 2/3rds or even half the verbage were removed it might be a good book.

  • Very Realistic

    It's a great "what if" and keeps you hanging until the end.
