Two men possess vital data on Russia’s Star Wars missile defense system. One of them is CARDINAL—America's highest agent in the Kremlin—and he's about to be terminated by the KGB. The other is the one American who can save CARDINAL and lead the world to the brink of peace...or war.

    the story has all the Jack Ryan characters in their prime, but the most intriguing aspect of the book is the Soviet main character, the setting is the cold war period of the 80s, breathtaking excitement, intrigue, plot twists and turns, and a remarkable insight on warriors, spies, bureaucrats, ideologies, and love. Amazing Read

    A very good read. I was never bored because there was always something new happening. The characters were realistic and their roles were very well developed. Fun to read.

  • I've read it three times... Always a page turner!

    One of Clancy's best spy thrillers. Set at the height of the Cold War with the tension and suspense to match... Even though I know what's going to happen, I enjoy this book immensely for its immersive prose, just like if you were there. A classic...

  • One of the more unheralded Clancy books...
