Smart and likable  Jack Ryan has become one of the best-known characters in contemporary American fiction. The Washington Post  L ong 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. A series of deadly encounters with an IRA splinter group had brought him to the attention of the CIAs Deputy Director  Vice Admiral James Greeras well as his counterpart with the British SIS  Sir Basil Charlestonand when Greer asked him if he wanted to come aboard as a freelance analyst  Jack was quick to accept. 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  John Paul II. Could it be true? As the days and weeks go by  Ryan must battle  first to try to confirm the plot  and then to prevent it  but this is a brave new world  and nothing he has done up to now has prepared him for the lethal game of cat-and-mouse that is the Soviet Union versus the United States. In the end  it will be not just the Popes life but the stability of the Western world that is at stake. . . and it may already be too late for a novice CIA analyst to do anything about it. Clancy creates not only compelling characters but frighteningly topical situations and heart-stopping action  wrote The Washington Post about The Bear and the Dragon. Among the handful of superstars  Clancy still reigns  and he is not likely to be dethroned any time soon. These words were never truer than about the remarkable pages of his breathtaking new novel. This is Clancy at his bestand there is none better. TOM CLANCY lives in Maryland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916528975925,"sku":"ByrdShop_0553713108","price":143.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780553713107.jpg?v=1793970724","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/red-rabbit-jack-ryan-9780553713107","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
