This book was boring. Clancy writes good books, but not this one. I kept reading it - thinking it would get better - it never did. No excitement at all. One dimensional characters. Would not suggest it to anyone. I was terribly disappointed.

In Tom Clancy's Red Rabbit, the Soviet Union is anticipating new leadership and contemplating a move that they think will strengthen their hold on power. Meanwhile, Jack Ryan has just arrived in Britain and about to take part in a mission that has worldwide implications. If unsuccessful, Pope John Paul II may not live, and the cause of freedom will suffer. Will Ryan and his team succeed? Or will the world be plunged into inevitable conflict?
Red Rabbit is a suspenseful Cold War thriller that harkens back to the time of President Ronald Reagan, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and The Iron Curtain. It is a well-written, well-researched blast from the past, and full of page-turning tension. The style of writing is different than it is today, and Clancy is too verbose, but it is still eye-opening, entertaining, and valuable. There is some unnecessary language, and some of the details are a bit gory. Nonetheless, I enjoyed Red Rabbit, and I am looking forward to reading the next Tom Clancy thriller.
