In the early 1980s, long before he was President or head of the CIA, even before a submarine named Red October crossed the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was an historian, teacher, and recent ex-Marine temporarily living in England. A series of deadly encounters with an IRA splinter group had brought him to the attention of the CIA's Deputy Director, Vice Admiral James Greer - and when Greer asked him to come aboard Jack was quick to accept. The opportunity was irresistible.

Then Jack forgot about the rest of his work, because on his first day, an extraordinary document crossed his desk. The new Pope had just delivered a private ultimatum to Warsaw: If the government persisted in its repression, he would feel compelled to resign the papacy and return to Poland.

That was going to have consequences.

In Moscow, another man was contemplating those very same consequences. Yuri Andropov, the chairman of the KGB, did not like what this meant for him or for his nation. All it took was one man to cause everything he had worked for to crumble...and all it took was one man to stop him. The Pope was very powerful - but he was also mortal.

And so it begins, an almost unthinkable plot - a plan to bring down not just leaders, but nations. Ryan will find himself in the middle of a chain reaction, a high-stakes game meant to shake the world...and in which a novice CIA analyst might just be out of his depth.

Another great Jack Ryan novel. Always on the edge of your seat. Never disappointed with a Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan novel.

I Enjoyed It

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.

It has always seemed to me that Tom Clancy was extremely well connected. His military realism and accuracy have always been astounding, however his treatment of the political side of his stories suggest to me that he enjoyed some very well placed sources. His ability to weave plot lines, suspense, and technical details have made his novels go to reading entertainment for me since I was introduced to The Hunt for Red October by the grandmother of a U.S. Navy submariner 40 years ago.

Disappointing But Still Interesting

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2002

I have always been a big Tom Clancy fan and wait with tremendous anticipation the publication of each of his novels. Lately, however, I have grown disenfranchised with Mr. Clancy and have found it harder and harder to get through his books. This book was no exception and I struggled to get through this book, though for different reasons than his last couple of Jack Ryan novels.
Mr. Clancy is a talented action writer and his mastery of the techno-thriller novel has been widely and justly praised. Unfortunately, Mr. Clancy is also a talented researcher and political thinker, and he tends to assume that his audience is equally interested in the minutiae of these subjects. Ever since Red Storm Rising (co-authored with the under appreciated Larry Bond) Mr. Clancy's books have been growing thicker and thicker to the point that one often despairs of the number of trees necessary for just one print run of his books. Regretfully this increase in girth has not always been to the benefit of the story.
Fortunately for his readers, Mr. Clancy is an excellent action writer and his novels are generally filled with enough action or blistering political tension that you are able to digest the odd 50 pages here and there of political or military analysis. Two fine examples of this are The Sum of All Fears and his last offering, the Bear and the Dragon. The Sum Of All Fears offers one of the most suspenseful and thrilling stories he has ever drawn up which covers about 500 of the 798 pages of the book. The rest is filled with the sometimes mind numbing detail of the process of assembling a terrorist nuclear weapon. Similarly, the Bear and the Dragon offers up a fine political suspense drama for about 600 of the 1028 pages of the book. The remainder are filled with long political dissertations on the morals of the political process, party politics and just about anything else President John P. Ryan might care to muse about for 100 pages or so while pondering his next decision.
Ironically, this book is one of Clancy's shortest efforts in many years coming in at just 618 pages (not the 896 pages erroneously reported in the Amazon info section) and does much less delving into the thinking of the President or the minutiae of the technology involved. Unfortunately, the trimming process seems to also have cut deep into the action in the book resulting in lots of interesting information on how a CIA station works and what a defection is like but very little suspense. Indeed, since you know the outcome of the primary plot point before you start reading the book it is difficult to stir up any feelings of excitement even when the action does get going in the last 50 pages or so. This book is very similar to The Cardinal of the Kremlin in that it is almost entirely about the process of espionage and defection, which in the real world frequently have very little action indeed.
I cannot recommend this book as his best, but I will continue to read Mr. Clancy's books because even his bad books are interesting and his good books are wonderful. I would recommend a reread of Without Remorse or Rainbow Six, two of his best more recent works, before investing any time in this one.

A very boring beginning but picks up in the middle with an explosive ending. Jack Ryan,Jr. Books are more to my taste. Mire action from the beginning.

This a true Jack Ryan/Tom Clancy special but it is historical fiction at a level I am not used to with Clancy. It forwards one of the better (I think) theories about the attempted assassination of the pope in 1981. Like always, hard to put down.

Clearly listed as abridged

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

A number of reviewers have left poor reviews about the lack of detail compared to other Clancy novel. I think what they've failed to realise is that this audiobook CD-ROM is an abridged version of Red Rabbit. That's why it's only 5 hours long versus other unabridged Clancy audiobook on, for example, Audible which are close to 30 hours long.
If you want the full detail read the full 640 page unabridged book. As far as I am aware there is no English language unabridged audiobook version of Red Rabbit.
