About this listen
Then Jack forgot about the rest of his work, because on his first day, an extraordinary document crossed his desk. The new Pope had just delivered a private ultimatum to Warsaw: If the government persisted in its repression, he would feel compelled to resign the papacy and return to Poland.
That was going to have consequences.
In Moscow, another man was contemplating those very same consequences. Yuri Andropov, the chairman of the KGB, did not like what this meant for him or for his nation. All it took was one man to cause everything he had worked for to crumble...and all it took was one man to stop him. The Pope was very powerful - but he was also mortal.
And so it begins, an almost unthinkable plot - a plan to bring down not just leaders, but nations. Ryan will find himself in the middle of a chain reaction, a high-stakes game meant to shake the world...and in which a novice CIA analyst might just be out of his depth.

Great tale wrapped around a truth
The tale took a while to get going but when it did it was the edge of the seat and plausible story we are used to from the pen of Tom Clancy.
The attention to detail was demonstrated by the location of the home Jack and his family had while in the UK. Trains from Chatham into London Victoria were at the time, a fairly quick service with just 1 stop before arriving. The journey from the station to Grizedale Close was described fairly accurately as it’s a journey I am familiar with as I lived in Grizedale Close around the time the Ryan’s lived there.
On the downside, as a Brit, the English accents were a little weak but most listeners not native to the UK won’t really notice it.

One of the weaker books of the series
This is an odd one, potential for a really good story here. However, at times it is hard to get past the hyper masculinity of the Jack Ryan character and the pseudo xenophobic thinking.

A bit of a ramble
I’ve really enjoyed other Jack Reacher books, but this one keeps going off to long rambling backgrounds that don’t help with the pace of the book.

Classic Clancy
Loved this book, slow to begin with, but this is because of the detail Clancy goes into, which always allows the remainder of the book to fall in place.
Thanks to Audible who added this title within hours of me asking for it.

Excellent & Engaging Listen
The book is read in a way that keeps you engaged all the way through.
Will definitely be listening to the rest of the collection.

Good but has issues
Quite enjoyable installment in this series but it is showing its age, and not just with the USSR adversary.
Clearly old beliefs of Americans towards British held sway over Tom Clancy when this was written as some of the attitudes and opinions are archaic.
There was also much too much philosophising going on in this book, perhaps because of the "spiritual' nature of one of the characters, but those areas did drag somewhat.
I was disappointed with Scot Bricks performance in places too, mispronunciation of words, Daimler one example and a few other things that were jarring.
If you are reading the Ryan books it's worth a look but I dont think it stands up on it's own like some of the others.

Best reading of the Jack Ryan books
having listened to a lot of Tom Clancy books I'm always happy when these versions are available as the performance by Scott Brick is miles ahead of the others.
the story itself is good, and very enjoyable (apart from the laughable description of the British NHS which it's clear Mr Clancy's personal politics got in the way of accuracy or understanding).
a worthwhile addition to the Jack Ryan cannon.

Over long
A reasonable premise with some good detail. A little overlong - is it really necessary to criticise other country’s customs, traditions and food/drink so often from an American point of view. The narrator’s English accent is worse than my American. We don’t all come from the Dick Van Dyke part of London.

Love Clancy but not his best
Slow to get started, English accents are terrible, slow book, odd conclusion, didn't even realise it was the end until it suddenly ended.
