Product Description

It is fall. CIA analyst Jack Ryan, historian and former Marine, is vacationing in London with his wife and young daughter. Suddenly, right before his eyes, a terrorist group launches its deadly attack.

Instinctively, he dives forward to break it up, and is shot. It is not until he wakes up in the hospital that he learns whose lives he has saved -- the Duke and Duchess of Kent.

By his impulsive act, he has gained both the gratitude of a nation and the enmity of its most dangerous men -- men who do not sit on their hate.

Patriot Games is a prequel to The Hunt for Red October and has all the excitement and energy of Clancy's famous first book.

A very good book 7 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Format: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

"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

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.

Engrossing and yet a bit embarrassing in parts!

Well...its certainly different...
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
