Publisher's summary

In the early 1980s, long before he was President or head of the CIA, even before a submarine named Red October crossed the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was an historian, teacher, and recent ex-Marine temporarily living in England. A series of deadly encounters with an IRA splinter group had brought him to the attention of the CIA's Deputy Director, Vice Admiral James Greer - and when Greer asked him to come aboard Jack was quick to accept. The opportunity was irresistible.

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 story, boring narrator

I thought the narrator was rather boring and monotone. I'm glad there are other narrators with this book series.

Good, not great!

Red rabbit is a good book but not up to the level of the rest of Clancy's Ryan books. It does a nice job of letting us get to know background on Mary Pat and Ed Foley and more information on Jacks early CIA apprenticeship with the Brits. So with Red Rabbit we will know more about these characters and events but the book is predominantly a foil to introduce these characters and event histories and unlike Clancy's home run prequel 'without remorse' used to introduce John Clark, this book itself is just a 'good' read not a great read.

Tom Clancy Story Teller

Scott did a great job telling the story. Always good when the reader goes into character. I enjoyed it immensely. I’m going to listen one more time.

Thanks Scott. You held me captive.

You have to like Tom Clancy

It is true that you have to get through 8 hours of characters fretting about the world and what they believe in before you get to some action. Then you think that would wrap up quickly, but that consumes the next 10 hours. The last 6 go more quickly and you are left wishing that John Clark had been more involved. Good book for those who have read the others as you see how the characters got to where they were in the other books.

Red Rabbit

Very well done. Family aspects show human qualities in both sides of the fence. Only regret is lack of more unabridged works by this author. And from what i have reviewed Tom Clancy has many books to his credit,

Red Rabbit

Awesome listening pleasure. It was great how the reader used British and Russian accents. I was intrigued by Tom Clancy's usual talent for keeping his reader spellbound. Great book. Since I didn't have time to read it myself, listening to it, I think, was even better.
