I'd read it in hardcover when it first came out. Gave original away, so I purchased new for reread, since I saw movie version which in no way follows original storyline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rousing of Extrajudicial Action
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021

Tom Clancy’s other great hero, John Clark, first appears in Cardinal of the Kremlin, pulling off something extraordinary. But his story begins here, as dramatized in the 2021 movie of the same name; for those interested, the book is nothing at all like the movie. John Kelly is a Navy underwater diver, a Vietnam veteran, having lost his wife and unborn child. A chance encounter draws him into a web of criminal conspiracy that reaches across the Chesapeake, and forces him to confront his grief, offering new tragedy along the way.

Pre-9/11, before every operator got their own book deal, this portrait of a hard-charger who believes in a morality beyond law takes us on a frightful journey through a Baltimore beset by heroin, a Vietnamese prison camp, and the corridors of power in DC. We meet many of Clancy’s heroes, albeit younger, beginning their careers in espionage (eagle-eyed readers with catch on early to a certain cop surnamed “Ryan”).

One salient point is that this novel is rather “of its time”; race, gender equality, and attitudes about drug usage will strike 21st-century readers as antiquated. But they represent a world most readers coming to the novel after seeing Michael B Jordan shoot Russians on Prime Video weren’t around for; the peace movement feels even more antiquarian, a relic of a more hopeful area when nuclear weapons were the province of three superpowers, and they never really planned on using them. The portraits of officers who had fought in World War II leading ops in Vietnam and the trauma of war still ring true, resonating with the generation of warriors reared in the Gulf War and near-decade of post-Cold War detenté who found themselves slowly succumbing to a morass half a world away that didn’t seem to have any point or path to victory.

Thanks for reading this far! I recommend imaging Michael B Jordan as the John Kelly, James Earl Jones as Admiral Greer, and Harrison Ford as Lieutenant Emmet Ryan. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great Tom Clancy books!

I read this book in 1994 and I loved it then. I just recently purchased the Kindle version of the book and the Audible version of the book. I listened to the book as I followed the text of the Kindle version.

The book is one of my favorites that was written by Tom Clancy. It develops the background and life of a major character in several of Tom’s books. John Kelly who later becomes John Clark working for the CIA. John is a Navy Seal and a master warrior with multiple skills. He life is crushed as his wife and unborn child are killed in a tragic car accident.

Later in life he meets a young woman, Pam, and he tries to help her. He finds out that she has escaped from a major drug dealer who beat her and mistreated her while keeping her high on drugs. John’s new friends help to cure her of her drug habit and John is falling in love. Pam asks John to help her other female friends to escape from the drug dealer as not only does he mistreat them but he kills them if they try to escape.

John and Pam are attacked and John is nearly killed and Pam is kidnaped, tortured, raped and murdered. As John recovers he realizes that he made a vow to help Pam’s friends. Meanwhile he is also asked by multiple Admirals to do a secret mission to rescue captured American officers. He has to train a team of Marines for the mission and also help Pam’s friends on his own time.

What begins is a winding tale of murder and training for an impossible mission and traitors giving secrets to Russian agents….

I love this story and I recommend it to you. It is a long book but it is well written and it is a good storyline.

This is in fact the first Clancy book I’ve read. Easy to jump on. With villains so horrible they make your blood boil.

John Clark is a good protagonist. Typical trouble past troupe. Here it works fine. You learn his first lost and see more as the story is told.

My only problem is it seems very similar to other revenge stories. The human weapon with a bad past forced from a retirement. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. Just been done. Still enjoyed this a lot.

I didn't know Tom Clancy was an author until after I started playing The Division 1&2. I watched this movie and loved it and I loved the book even more. Tom Clancy is an excellent writer and I'm enthusiastic about reading more of his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Novel Introducing 'John Clark' to Tom Clancy's Readers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2024

It has taken a long time for the Jack Ryan series of books to be available on Kindle. As with all of Tom Clancy's novels in the Jack Ryan and Red Storm Rising series, this novel is strong on procedure and characterisation. It takes a young decorated Vietnam SF veteran who returns home and circumstances place him in a position where justice can only be obtained for newly discovered civilian victims by him using his military skills as a vigilante. The interactions with, and motivations of, police and some seriously nasty villians are well described. There is a secondary theme running through the book relating to Vietnam which adds further to the wheels within wheels story.
Whether vigilante activity on the scale in this book can ever be justified isn't explored fully though the author's view seems pretty unequivocal.
Those who have read the later books in the series up to and including 'The Bear and the Dragon' will learn how the relationship between John Clark and President Jack Ryan [son of policeman Emmett Ryan] was destined to come about.
It is also the story of the rise of Admiral Jim Greer and a young Bob Ritter within the CIA. Again, characters who we will meet in later novels in the series.
An excellent story well told.
