Tom Clancy's Red Rabbit is another chair gripping edge of your seat novel from the author. The book is a prequel to The Hunt for Red October. This novel features a different style from Tom because in Red Rabbit he uses the way Jack Ryan gets recruited to be an analyst to set up his hero while still keeping the main ideas he sets forth in his other novels.
The novel gains it's story line during the Cold War and the pope's threats to resign if Russia does not ease off the people, thus causing a worldwide crisis. Jack Ryan gets word that someone in the Soviet is planning to kill the Pope. A bulk of excitement is provided around Jack's struggle to find evidence that there actually is a plot to kill the Pope. This play of the mind leaves you the reader plotting what will happen next and how this rookie is doing this test of wit.
The novel is set in third person and it is part of a series. It's a fiction and an action thriller. It has a serious tone with some mild humor to spice it up and keep the novel going smoothly. The mood is suspense. You feel the same stresses that Jack feels and helps you understand and gain a connection with him. I would definitely recommend reading this book along with the series.

How Treasure Island uses mood
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island conveys many different moods through out the story. He shows his mood through explaining each situation with lots of detail to grab the reader and help you feel what the characters feel. The mood is important to the story because it is necessary to develop the story and it provides a wonderful foundation for actions to follow or be driven by this mood.
In the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson a feeling of intensity is immediately brought forth when Billy Bones enters the Inn. He is a sour old man that scares most people and he definitely doesn’t seem like a trustworthy fellow and this provides for a suspenseful air about his presence. This is greatly intensified by the fight with Black Dog and it begins the desire for the treasure map.
An interesting thing about this story is Stevenson uses the character Jim Hawkins as the narrator for most parts of the story and he is just a boy. For the most part the boy is feeling fear because he is around these treasure thirsty pirates, however, after being exposed to the life style he grows and gains confidence and begins his passion towards the lifestyle like the pirates.
