Jack Ryan is a former marine whose career was cut short a few months in. He teaches history at the Naval Academy and loves his job. While on vacation in London with his doctor wife, Kathy, and their small daughter, he is in the right place at the right time with the right skills to halt a deadly terrorist attack. The targets are the Duke and Duchess of Kent. Jack is injured in the scuffle but their Highnesses escape unscathed. The terrorists bring their battle to America where they target Katy and Jack and the visiting royalty. This prequel to The Hunt for Red October is a page-turner filled with nonstop action, heroics, friendship, camaraderie of the armed forces, and true love. You may find Jack's abilities, or luck, to be a bit beyond belief but this does not detract from the story's appeal.
