He is a master,' and that fact has never shown more clearly than in the pure excitement of The Cardinal of the Kremlin.

In its review of Red Storm Rising, the San Francisco Chronicle said simply, 'Tom Clancy is the best there is. With the exceptional realism and authenticity that have become his hallmark, Clancy puts us again on the cutting edge of modern technology, and humanizes it, taking us deep inside not only the machines but the men, and constructing a story of unrelenting suspense. His rescue could spell the difference between peace and war, and it is up to Jack Ryan to accomplish it - if he can - as, in a breathtaking sequence of hunter and hunted, Filitov's life, and Ryan's and that of the world itself literally hang in the balance. Because Filitov, code-named Cardinal, is America's highest agent in the Kremlin, and he is about to be betrayed to the KGB. To the two greatest nations on earth, no contest is more urgent than the race to build the first Star Wars missile defense system, and no one knows that more than the two men charged with assessing the Soviets' capabilities: Colonel Mikhail Filitov of the Soviet Union, an old-line warrior distrusted by the army's new inner circle of technocrats, and CIA analyst Jack Ryan, hero of the Red October affair.Įach must use all his craft to arrive at the truth, but Filitov gets there first - and that's when all hell breaks loose. In the Soviet hills of Dushanbe near the Afghanistan border, an otherworldly array of pillars and domes rises into the night.
