Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The bestselling author of Red Storm Rising and The Sum of All Fears brings Jack Ryan back to fight his deadliest battle yet.

From England to Ireland and America, an explosive wave of violence sweeps a CIA analyst and his family into the deadliest game of our time: international terrorism. An ultra-left-wing faction of the IRA has targeted the CIA man for his act of salvation in an assassination attempt. And now he must pay ... with his life. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis

While vacationing in London, CIA analyst Jack Ryan saves the Prince and Princess of Wales from a terrorist attack and gains the gratitude of a nation and the enmity of its most dangerous men.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, 7 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Patriot Games (Paperback)

I am a great fan of Tom Clancy's books. I first read The Cardinal of the Kremlin last year and then Rainbow Six. When I read Patriot Games this summer I really enjoyed it. I have now read many in the Jack Ryan series and Patriot Games is one of the best. My favourite part had to be the gunfight at Ryans home near the end but the whole book is really good. S.F aged 13

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for all espioniage fans, 22 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Patriot Games (Paperback)

"Ryan was nearly killed twice in half an hour"

As soon as the reader reads this first sentence of this book, he or she knows that she will not be able to put the book down until the last assassination has failed.

When Jack Ryan, a history teacher from America, foils a plan to kidnap the "Prince of Wales", he immediately becomes the number one target of the terrorists he foils.

The terrorists then follow him back to the US to plot their revenge. The last of these schemes leading to a mouth-watering climax.

Of all of the Clancy books I have read, this one is one for the beginner as well as the seasoned veteran

4.0 out of 5 stars It is an exciting book but........, 14 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Patriot Games (Paperback)

read it before the breaking up of the Prince and the Princess would give you a better feeling. It was difficult for me to link up the "Prince" in the book to the one in our live. Anyway, it is a story", a good and exciting story. I specially like the beginning part when Jack Ryan intercepted the terrorists' attack on the Royal couple.

Patriot Games is more of a traditional thriller, though there's still a bit of techno-stuff going on. The explosive opening sequence is great. The attack on Ryan's wife tense. Read more
