    This continues the story of Jack Ryan nicely! Even though it does not revolve around him, it creates a beautiful chance to develop new characters that we all know and love in the newer books!

  • Clancy’s Best

    Hunt for Red October gets all the attention, and of course several other of Clancy’s books have become movies, TV shows, and video games. But, after re-reading Cardinal once again, I think this is Clancy’s best. The characters are far more three-dimensional than in Red October, the themes are more nuanced, and all the far-flung, competing plots come together brilliantly.

  • Slow Start, but…

    Slow starter was getting worried, but ended in a nice volley of quick engaging pages.

  • Best Clancy Novel

    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...

    But a great read. Great suspense and a glimpse into the world of spies in the cold war.
