Red Rabbit (By:Tom Clancy)

4 cassettes, 6 hoursTom Clancy returns to Jack Ryan’s early days, in an extraordinary novel of global political drama. Smart and likable, Jack Ryan has become one of the best knowncharacters in contemporary American fiction. The Washington PostLong before he was President or head of the CIA, before he fought terrorist attacks on the Super Bowl or the White House, even before a submarine named Red October made its perilous way across the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was an historian, teacher, and recent ex Marine temporarily living in England while researching a book. 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 as well as his counterpart with the British SIS, Sir Basil Charleston and when Greer asked him if he wanted to come aboard as a freelance analyst, Jack was quick to accept. The opportunity was irresistible, and he was sure he could fit it in with the rest of his work. And then Jack forgot all about the rest of his work, because one of his first assignments was to help debrief a high level Soviet defector, and the defector told an amazing tale: Top Soviet officials, including Yuri Andropov, were planning to assassinate the Pope, John Paul II. Could it be true? As the days and weeks go by, Ryan must battle, first to try to confirm the plot, and then to prevent it, but this is a brave new world, and nothing he has done up to now has prepared him for the lethal game of cat and mouse that is the Soviet Union versus the United States. In the end, it will be not just the Pope s life but the stability of the Western world that is at stake…
and it may already be too late for a novice CIA analyst to do anything about it. Clancy creates not only compelling characters but frighteningly topical situations and heart stopping action, wrote The Washington Post about The Bear and the Dragon. Among the handful of superstars, Clancy still reigns, and he is not likely to be dethroned any time soon. These words were never truer than about the remarkable pages of his breathtaking new novel. This is Clancy at his best and there is none better. TOM CLANCY lives in Maryland.

What if they were to form an alliance, to combine all their assets and connections? The potential for profits would be enormous and the potential for destruction unimaginable. In the Brave New World of terrorism where anybody with a spare AK 47, a knowledge of kitchen chemistry, or simply the will to die can become a player the old rules no longer apply. No matter what new governmental organizations come into being, the only truly effective ones are those that are quick and agile, free of oversight and restrictions…
and outside the system. Way outside the system.

Established with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan, ‘the Campus’ is always on the lookout for promising new talent, its recruiters scattered throughout the armed forces and government agencies and three men are about to cross its radar. The first is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico, whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case. The second is Caruso’s brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first combat action in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch. And the third is their cousin…
a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr. Jack was raised on intrigue. As his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and then into the White House, Jack received a life course in the world and the way it operates from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Service men, and black ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez. He wants to put it all to work now but when he knocks on the front door of ‘the Campus,’ he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to encounter. For it is indeed a different world out there, and in here…
and it is about to become far more dangerous.
