This is the story of Jack Ryan before his involvement in the Hunt for Red October - sort of a background for him. A colonel deep in the KGB feels he must defect to get a terrible plot to the CIA before the Soviets succeed. He risks his life and that of his family to do so. Excellent story with background on the CIA and British Intelligence. A good read.

It's the early 1980's and Marine Jack Ryan is now a CIA officer on loan to the British SIS. An extraordinary document crosses his desk...may cause the Pope to resign.

Tom Clancy returns to Jack Ryan's early days - in an extraordinary novel of global political drama. . .
It's 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. . .
A very skillful blend of fiction and history!

Interesting blend of fiction and history in the Jack Ryan series.
One of my favorite Tom Clancy books. "Clancy is a master of detail - especially those having to do with military action and weapons...And he builds strongly moral, attractive characters, ones we would like to emulate."
Tried and true adventure from one of the masters.
