Red Rabbit is chronologically Tom Clancy’s third book. Jack Ryan is again involved in a secret operation, led by the CIA, FBI and the British secret service.
The story begins when the Russian intelligence Service intercepts a message about a highly regarded person, the pope, who wants to resign if the situation in his homeland doesn’t improve. His return to Poland to support his people would be in the Russian’s eye a massive disadvantage, something they need to prevent. As those rumours get to the American and British governments, they are not quite sure what to make of it and therefore decide to keep it under surveillance, but a dangerous situation in Russia needs them to take action. A secret operation kicks off with Jack Ryan at the helm.
The story begins with a load of digest the plot is very complex, which made it very hard for me to get into the book. But the more I kept reading the more I understood the author’s style of writing, excellent, authentic and so real. A method this author has mastered to its perfection. In my opinion, Tom Clancy doesn’t just write suspenseful stories with a military or political background, with his expertise he also encloses them into an interesting story. This encourages you to keep on reading to the last page, this series about Jack Ryan is very addictive, and I am happy that there are more to come.
I would recommend Red Rabbit to everyone who is following the whole series about Jack Ryan, and also those who are interested in espionage and secret military operations.
