I’m more of a fan of the spy, Cold War, USSR, arms race theme. That said, this is still a good read. Especially with the IRA having a vendetta against Jack and his family. You might be able to skip this one but I haven’t read too far into the next book to determine that. RIP Tom Clancy

a little boring…

I’ve always loved this book and I love it more and more with each reread. Jack Ryan is a great hero. Not an action star but the brave smart hero we don’t get often enough. There’s also something intriguing about the spy days before computers and smartphones that makes it more appealing and intelligent.

Patriot Games was great.

A little gritty and slow at times, but overall, very good.

I didn’t like the whole pretext from begging to end.

Great read

Even when there isn’t a war of some kind, Tom Clancy can write a suspenseful story and keep you entertained.

Characters plot and clever dialogue

The show on amazon is better.
