Résumé

Tom Clancy returns to Jack Ryan's early days in an extraordinary novel of global political drama. Long before he was President or head of the CIA, before he fought terrorist attacks on the Super Bowl or the White House, even before a submarine called Red October made its perilous way across the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was a historian, teacher and recent ex-marine temporarily living in England while researching a book. A series of deadly encounters with an IRA splinter group had brought him to the attention of the CIA's Deputy Director, Vice Admiral James Greer - as well as his counterpart with the British SIS. Sir Basil Charleston and when Greer asked him if he wanted to come aboard as a freelance analyst, Jack was quick to accept. The opportunity was irresistible, and he was sure he could fit it in with the rest of his work. And then Jack forgot all about the rest of his work, because one of his first assignments was to help debrief a high-level Soviet defector, and the defector told an amazing tale: top Soviet officials, including Yuri Andropov, were planning to assassinate the Pope, John Paul II. Could it be true? As the days and weeks go by, Ryan must battle, first to try to confirm the plot, and then to prevent it, but this is a brave new world, and nothing he has done up to now has prepared him for the lethal game of cat and mouse that is the Soviet Union versus the United States. In the end, it will be not just the Pope's life, but the stability of the Western world that is at stake... and it may already be too late for a novice CIA analyst to do anything about it. This is Clancy at his best - and there is none better.

Né à Baltimore en 1947, Tom Clancy est le spécialiste des romans d'espionnage contemporains. Après ses études, il débute sa carrière en devenant courtier en assurance. Pourtant, sa passion pour l'armée sera plus forte et il décide, quelques temps plus tard, d'intégrer l'US Army. Pourtant, à cause de ses problèmes de vue qui briseront ses rêves, il se rabattra, pour notre plus grand plaisir, sur l'écriture. Son premier roman Octobre rouge sur l'histoire vraie de l'équipage russe du Storojevoï rencontre un succès phénoménal. De par son impressionnante documentation, il sera félicité par le président Ronald Reagan qui qualifiera son livre de "parfait". S'ensuit un grand nombre d'histoire d'espionnage, toutes plus passionnantes les unes que les autres. Parmi celles-ci, notre communauté vous conseille particulièrement Danger immédiat débutant sur l'assassinat du directeur du FBI et de l'ambassadeur américain. Si vous vous intéressez au monde militaire, vous allez être comblé. Dans notre rayon thriller, vous trouvez le livre qui va vous happer et vous emporter dans des intrigues savoureuses et mystérieuses. Remède mortel d'Harlen Coben, Les années perdues de Mary Higgins Clark, Fantôme de Jo Nesbo... voici un échantillon d'œuvres très appréciées de notre communauté de libraires et lecteurs. Avec notre livraison à 1 centime et la garantie satisfait ou remboursé, faites-vous, à votre tour, votre opinion en toute sérénité.
