Description

From Tom Clancy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Ryan novels--including his latest blockbusters Command Authority and Threat Vector--comes a gripping story of the Ryan family under fire. In an explosive wave of violence, an ultra-left-wing faction of the IRA is hunting one man for his act of salvation in an attempted assassination. And now Jack Ryan must pay…with his life.

    I’ve always loved this book and I love it more and more with each reread. Jack Ryan is a great hero. Not an action star but the brave smart hero we don’t get often enough. There’s also something intriguing about the spy days before computers and smartphones that makes it more appealing and intelligent.

    I would have given this book a rating of five stars if Tom Clancey had let me know what happened to the character of O'Donnell.
