The top CIA operative deep within the Kremlin must be rescued before he is identified and terminated by the KGB. I'll do the same review for all Clancy's novels because they're all pretty much the same. Very long, very detailed, and after a while, very repetitive. If you stop after just a few of his books you'd probably give them 4 or 5 stars, but beyond that they start to grate. Especially where Jack Ryan is involved. I mean, Clancy spends hundreds of pages getting his details just right, the settings perfect etc., then he has Ryan dodging more bullets than James Bond! I finally threw my hands up and surrendered when Ryan becomes President. I can't remember what piece of crap that was in. I've given three stars as a compromise between my reactions when reading my first Clancy (brilliant) and last Clancy (doorstop). This is one of my all-time favorite books!! Great action and plot with a wonderfully surprising ending. Read this while I was in mid-20's. Very good story line that kept me immersed in the pages for hours on end. 0.045 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
