Don’t Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!Tom Clancy reveals Jack Ryan’s origins in this electrifying #1 New York Times bestselling thriller that pits the former Marine turned family man against a vicious group of international terrorists.As an American in London on vacation with his family, Jack Ryan never imagined his quick thinking would prevent an … imagined his quick thinking would prevent an assassination attempt on Britain’s royal family and earn him the gratitude of an entire nation—and the scorn of an ultra-left-wing faction of the IRA. Irish terrorist Sean Miller and his followers in the Ulster Liberation Army intend to make sure Ryan pays for his interference in blood. But he’s not the only one they’re after…
With the lives of his pregnant wife and young daughter in mortal danger, Ryan accepts a role as a CIA analyst in order to find Miller and shut down the ULA. Going head to head with a ruthless terrorist is a fool’s errand, but Jack Ryan is the kind of man who will do whatever it takes to protect his family.

I like all of Tom Clancy’s Books. I’m not interested in the books by other authors writing under his name.
Love it and love Jack Ryan!!
Still one of my favorite Jack Ryan books.
As typical, the book is better than the movie although the movie was certainly OK. It’s Clancy early on and at his best.
One of Clancy’s best. Patriot Games puts the target square on the back of Jack Ryan and his family, revealing much about Ryan’s character and his resilience as a man. Forced to confront a group of IRA terrorist fanatics and defend his family in a deadly struggle, Clancy puts Ryan in the position of having to guess where the next threat was coming from, finally giving him the chance to engage the terrorists directly in a fight-to-the-death confrontation.
A great first book to the Jack Ryan Series. Read it.
Extremely well written book with familiar character Jack Ryan, finds himself in the middle of an attack, his Marine training kicks in, he becomes a hero. Starts out he is thought of as involved, that’s funny! But Katherine his Wife comes to his aid. Many plot twists.
A typical Tom Clancy book. Entertaining all the way thru.
One of Clancy’s better books, all too realistic.
I had read this book before and have seen the movie several times. I love the characters and character development. Tom Clancy is a masterful writer. I highly recommend.
I’m a big fan of the early Tom Clancy novels.
good reading and plenty of action.
A great Tom Clancy book!
It starts with a boom! and goes like that to the end!!!
Great fast read
The premise is extremely unlikely. The President’s son is working as a secret agent and occasional assassin. Once you accept this it it is a fun techno thriller with lots of action. I ignored the improbable and enjoyed reading it.
I always enjoy the Jack Ryan books
I read this book while on a trip when I had very little options as to what to read. I don’t know that I would have read this book had there been other books to read but I’m glad I did. I found the book exciting and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Later I saw the movie and it was okay but the book was far better. I’ve read most of the Jack Ryan series and found them to be quite enjoyable even though they are not my standard reading Style.
action packed book that holds your attention.
Good reading with lots ofaction
