   • bioText: Thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
     
     Scott Brick, an acclaimed voice artist, screenwriter, and actor, has performed on film, television, and radio. His stage appearances throughout the US include Cyrano, Hamlet, and MacBeth. In the audio industry, Scott has won over 20 Earphones Awards, as well as the 2003 Audie Award in the Best Science Fiction category for Dune: The Butlerian Jihad. After recording nearly 250 books in five years, AudioFile Magazine named Scott “one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy” and proclaimed him one of their Golden Voices. Brick’s range is unparalleled as he reads thrillers to narrative nonfiction, from biographies to science fiction with aplomb.

fullDescription

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?
“Among the handful of superstars, Clancy still reigns, and he is not likely to be dethroned anytime soon.”—Washington Post

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Tom Clancy is usually a master at creating excitement and intrigue, but not this time. The attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981 provides the background for this look at CIA agent Jack Ryan's early career. Ed Foley and his wife, agents in Moscow, and "Red Rabbit," aka Oleg Zaizev, a KGB communications officer, are the central figures investigating the papal assassination plot. Scott Brick's performance enlivens RED RABBIT as much as the stilted dialogue allows. From Washington and Politburo intrigues to Ryan's English opposites, Brick switches accents with ease. While the insider information is always interesting, not even 18 cassettes can get this cumbersome novel off the ground. Brick's winning reading makes it worth listening to, but only die-hard Clancy fans won't be disappointed. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

     July 29, 2002
     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 (Rabbit's defection goes off without a hitch)—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. (Aug. 5)Forecast:That this will hit #1 is obvious; the guessing game is, for how many weeks? We predict through Labor Day, at least.

   • content: Flopsy, "Mopsy," and "Cotton-tail" are code names for a Russian family defecting to the United States via Operation Beatrix. Yuri Andropov, KGB chairman, alias Flopsy, holds information that will bring down leaders and nations once he and his family are safe in the West. The CIA eagerly awaits word that the rabbits have changed hutches after the CIA stages their deaths in a car accident. Descriptions of their mangled body doubles are sometimes gruesome and the language unnecessarily vulgar. Realistic Russian accents are thick and guttural, but understandable. Clancy's pace is swift and doesn't disappoint. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
