The other one is the American who can save Cardinal and lead the world to the brink of peace . . . or war.

This is one of the best in the Jack Ryan series. It’s also narrated by Michael Prichard which is another plus! #GreatNarrator #Thriller #SpyGame #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

For one of Tom Clancy's early works the character development and the tension built through the book will keep you on edge and wanting to listen to one more chapter, always one more.

It's really a good way to enjoy the novel, especially for espionage novel fans or fans of the Cold War era fiction.

The only way this could be better enjoyed is with bourbon and a cigar.

This book has a more complex plot than the earlier Clancy books and intertwines many of the characters we know and love. It’s long but worth the time.

One of Clancy’s best

If you could sum up The Cardinal of the Kremlin in three words, what would they be?

Classic Clancy Novel

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Cardinal of the Kremlin?

Some of the twists of the story really took me by surprise.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performer was a solid voice. Good voices and well done.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

SPOILER ALERT - The Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) operation had me cheering along with the action...

Well Done

I'm reading the Jack Ryan novels in order (by story, not release) and this is the best one I've read so far.

It does start out a bit slow, and the narration could be better, but the book is absolutely worth the read.

Highly recommended.

Probably the best book I've read to date.

Loved it! I listen to this once every two years or so. It really captures that era of the Cold War. And as always Clancy's characters are so real.

Fabulous!
