From Publishers Weekly

There's not a shot fired until page 602 in Clancy's lumbering new thriller, and readers up on their history will know the outcome of that shot on page 17. What comes in between is a slow-moving but, given Clancy's astonishing flair for fly-on-the-wall writing, steadily absorbing imagining of the back story behind Mehmet Ali Agca's (real-life) failed attempt on the life of Pope John II in 1981. By going back 21 years, Clancy provides a fresh adventure for a young Jack Ryan, but Ryan fans (and presumably Ben Affleck) may be surprised to learn that Ryan is, until the final scenes, only a supporting player here. The book's main heroes are the husband-and-wife team of Ed Foley, CIA station chief in Moscow, and his agent-wife, Mary Pat, and Oleg Zaitzev (code-named Rabbit), the mid-level employee in the KGB communications department who for conscience's sake decides to defect to America when he's asked to encrypt messages that reveal a plot, under the auspices of then-KGB chief Yuri Andropov, to kill the pope in response to the pontiff's secret letter threatening to resign the papacy and to return to Poland to resist Soviet domination. In real life, the pope wrote such a letter, and analysts have long speculated that the Soviets, via Bulgarian controllers, dispatched Agca to kill him. It's utterly fascinating to read Clancy's playing out of that likely scenario is there a writer in the world who brings so much verisimilitude to scenes both high (Politburo meetings) and low (details of spy craft and everyday Soviet life)? But while Clancy delivers a believable and encyclopedic version of real-life events, the suspense is minimal a disappointment when other writers (Forsyth in Day of the Jackal, for one) have shown that there can be enough tension in a fated-to-fail assassination plot to give a stroke to a yoga master.

From Library Journal

With changes at the Vatican, the situation in Communist Poland is going from bad to worse. The new Pope is killing Russia-and Russia is killing the Pope. CIA analyst Jack Ryan becomes involved when a conscientious KGB officer defects to save the pontiff and get a piano for his wife. Despite being a mere desk jockey, Ryan rescues the KGB agent, captures an assassin, and provides an annoying personal travelog. His reflections on insignificant details such as the poor quality of coffee in England receive far too much attention. And speaking of coffee, narrator Scott Brick might have benefited from a little caffeine prior to launching his plodding presentation. Not recommended.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Is it possible to give this book Zero stars please?, Mars 1 2006
I had the great misfortune of spending the last 2 weeks trying to pile thru this polemic tome. To say that it is a disaster would be a generous description of what is possibly one of the worse novels I have ever read. What I find amazing is the positive reviews on here are such that it is obvious:

a. They have not read the book, or
b. They are plants from the publisher.

Clancy has written some fine books. Hunt for Red October is a classic and Red Storm Rising shows the great work you can accomplish with hard work and decent research. This book is a sad joke when it comes to research. Tom can't keep the timeline straight. He interjects future events (a certain world series, the rise of starbucks and the Falklands war) all into the WRONG YEAR. Characters are wildly inconsistent in rank and spelling. His politics are well known, but raging on about the NHS and accussing British doctors of being uncaring negligent drunks is beyond the pale. Also, Tom, we know Caroline is an eye surgeon and that she doesn't drink before surgery "ever". We know. We know. QUIT TELLING US 50 FREAKING THOUSAND TIMES. Although to get to the 100,000 level you have to cite Tom's references to Ryan being in the Marines, jesuit upbringing, etc. If the character he is is a product of the marines, then it's no wonder recruitment is falling. Who would want to be a simpering wuss like Ryan?

The unbelivable dialogue is another factor in ensuring the utter garbage status of this pile. Tom, no one says "pal" and "guy" at the end of every sentence. That is unless they live on Brokeback Mountain. Also, no one talks about their breakfast every day with people they work with unless they really have socialization problems. And for only "americans" making things properly, my GM van begs to differ (stupid pos it is).

All and all a sad effort by a washed up "author" trying to scam a few more bucks out of his name. If that freaking mess "Op Center" hasn't killed your reputation yet, then Red Rabbit will seriously be the bullet to the head for your career.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Page Filler, Sep 26 2004
I've read all of Clancy's books, while most I find it takes a while to get into the story but generally once it has picked up it was a very good read. Red Rabbit on the other hand, Clancy must have been tired, this book could have been a short story, I felt that he could have done it with 200 pages. Very disappointed and will really check before buying another.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Early Clany writing is apparent, Juil 18 2004
Par russell guerra (Sacramento, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book takes places as a young Jack Ryan and really explains more on Jack Ryan's wife Cathy. I really liked how clancy put the suspense in this book, but certain parts of this book was a little slow at times, but the ending is great. You will be shocked at the ending of this book.
