Product Description
Tom Clancy returns to Jack Ryan's early days, in an extraordinary novel of global political drama. Long before becoming President, Jack Ryan is a novice CIA Analyst. One of his first assignments is to debrief a high-level Soviet defector who tells an amazing tale of officials planning to assassinate Pope John Paul II. In the end, however, it will not just be the Pope's life, but the stability of the Western world that is at stake.
From Library Journal
With changes at the Vatican, the situation in Communist Poland is going from bad to worse. The new Pope is killing Russia-and Russia is killing the Pope. CIA analyst Jack Ryan becomes involved when a conscientious KGB officer defects to save the pontiff and get a piano for his wife. Despite being a mere desk jockey, Ryan rescues the KGB agent, captures an assassin, and provides an annoying personal travelog. His reflections on insignificant details such as the poor quality of coffee in England receive far too much attention. And speaking of coffee, narrator Scott Brick might have benefited from a little caffeine prior to launching his plodding presentation. Not recommended.
