DESCRIPTION:
5 CDs, 6 hoursTom Clancy returns to Jack Ryan’s early days, in an extraordinary novel of global political drama.“Smart and likable, Jack Ryan has become one of the best-knowncharacters in contemporary American fiction.” –The Washington PostLong before he was President or head of the CIA, before he fought terrorist attacks on the Super Bowl or the White House, even before a submarine named Red October made its perilous way across the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was an historian, teacher, and recent ex-Marine temporarily living in England while researching a book. The opportunity was irresistible, and he was sure he could fit it in with the rest of his work.And then Jack forgot all about the rest of his work, because one of his first assignments was to help debrief a high-level Soviet defector, and the defector told an amazing tale: Top Soviet officials, including Yuri Andropov, were planning to assassinate the Pope,
Worst of the Clancy Written Jack Ryan Series - Disappointed Robbie J G I am a huge Clancy fan and am in the middle of reading all the books he wrote over again and this has to be his worst. Unfortunately I didn't realize this was a prequel of sorts so I re-read them sort of in the wrong order. I was waiting for the typical "heart pounding out of my chest" part and never found it. Sure, there is about 3 pages that's piqued my interest towards the end, but the rest was just dialog and creating of characters whom I really didn't care about. I can. Mr Nicholas O Evans said Great read with sufficient link to familiar characters and factual history. I have been reading Tom Clancy novels since the late 80's. And I have always been impressed with his ability to mix global-political intrigue with action, but with technical knowledge/research. It has always been clever how he has developed characters sufficiently such that he can draw on enough previous definition to go back and write a prequel. Red Rabbit managed to combine factual history with fiction to make this a pleasurable, albeit, belated read in his Jack Ryan Sr. . T. Lamparski said Jack Ryan - Fact or fiction. I believe that this is the last "Jack Ryan" book that Tom Clancy actually wrote, however, it takes place earlier in Mr. Ryan's history - after Patriot Games but before Hunt for Red October. It is a fictionalized account of the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. However, who's to say where the history ends and the fiction begins. I like the fact that this book looked back to a time when Jack Ryan worked in the field, instead of sitting around the Oval Office, bemoan
By going back 21 years, Clancy provides a fresh adventure for a young Jack Ryan, but Ryan fans (and presumably Ben Affleck) may be surprised to learn that Ryan is, until the final scenes, only a supporting player here. . It's utterly fascinating to read Clancy's playing out of that likely scenario is there a writer in the world who brings so much verisimilitude to scenes both high (Politburo meetings) and low (details of spy craft and everyday Soviet life)? But while Clancy delivers a believable and encyclopedic version of real-life events,
