In the early days of his career, Jack Ryan accepts a first assignment as freelance analyst under James Greer of the CIA and faces a mission involving a high-level Soviet defector who has reported a plot to assassinate Pope John Paul II.
"Jack Ryan's first days with the CIA may be the Pope's last days alive. It is very early in Jack Ryan's career - so early that he has not yet even become an analyst for the CIA. But a series of nasty encounters with an IRA splinter group has brought Ryan to the attention of the CIA's Deputy Director and his British counterpart. They offer him his first job as a freelance analyst, and he readily accepts. Debriefing a high-level Russian defector, however, he comes across an unbelievable plot: top Soviet officials, including Yuri Andropov, are planning to assassinate Pope John Paul II. Ryan must battle first to verify the plot, and then to stop it. But what chance does a novice CIA analyst have against a cat-and-mouse game between the world's two great superpowers?"

"Jack Ryan's past is catching up with him. Many years before, he had come to the attention of Vice-Admiral James Greer of the CIA and Sir Basil Chasleton of the SIS. Greer has now invited Jack to come on board as freelance analyst, and Jack accepts. But one of his first assignments turns up an amazing tale: the Soviets are planning to assassinate Pope John Paul II. Could it be true? As the days and weeks go by, Ryan must first try to confirm the plot, and then to prevent it. This is Clancy at his best - and there is none better."@en
