Red Rabbit is a spy thriller novel, written by Tom Clancy and released on August 5, 2002. The plot occurs a few months after the events of Patriot Games (1987), and incorporates the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. Main character Jack Ryan, now an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency, takes part in the extraction of a Soviet defector who knows of a KGB plot to kill the pontiff. The book debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list.
Reread. TC is always good to relax, not much thinking involved, so I reread his work if I'm not in the mood for 'real books´. RR I had read last long ago, and it did age. Plotwise very weak; but Clancy's talent in building suspense is evidently there. Nevertheless: wouldn't recommend.
