What this book is about
Set in 1981, this prequel to The Hunt for Red October follows a young Jack Ryan and his family in London when a KGB officer tries to defect with knowledge of a plot to assassinate Pope John Paul II. Clancy's historical thriller is more intimate than his later epics, focused on character rather than hardware.
