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.
