Book Review – Tom Clancy Red Winter – Marc CameronAuthor Marc Cameron has written a remarkable classic， Cold War spy thriller in “Tom Clancy’s Red Winter。” This novel reminded me of the original Tom Clancy books with plenty of spy and political intrigue， intense action， and well-developed characters， both good and bad。 The plot and 1985 storyline fit neatly into the Clancy-style， although more streamlined than Clancy's original works。 Red Winter is a ‘rock-solid’ Cold War spy classic！ Readers wh Book Review – Tom Clancy Red Winter – Marc CameronAuthor Marc Cameron has written a remarkable classic， Cold War spy thriller in “Tom Clancy’s Red Winter。” This novel reminded me of the original Tom Clancy books with plenty of spy and political intrigue， intense action， and well-developed characters， both good and bad。 The plot and 1985 storyline fit neatly into the Clancy-style， although more streamlined than Clancy's original works。 Red Winter is a ‘rock-solid’ Cold War spy classic！ Readers who are well versed in the Jack Ryan Universe （Ryanverse） and those new to the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series， will be more than pleased with this book！ Cameron links Red Winter to many of Clancy’s original storylines including beloved characters’ backstories， CIA spy methods， and military tactics and strategy。 I loved CIA operatives Mary Pat Foley’s spy craft， John Clark’s ‘badassery’， James Geer’s instinct and FBI Agent Dan Murray’s investigative skills。 Observing a young Jack Ryan， Sr。 in his early years at the CIA was also invigorating。 Creative plot， strong storyline， and powerful action， Red Winter is a brilliant espionage spy thriller read。 A masterful job by Marc Cameron。 Definitely a 2022 Top 10 Thriller！ 。。。more

This is part of the Men At War series but could be read as a stand alone。 The story is set in 1985 in East Berlin and the Nevada dessert。 A top secret plane has crashed in the Nevada desert and there is a defector that has information valuable to the West。 There is a mole in CIA which is threatening the mission and other agents。 It features a young Jack Ryan and other characters from past books。 We get a glimpse of their past stories。 The book is filled with suspense that will keep you wondering This is part of the Men At War series but could be read as a stand alone。 The story is set in 1985 in East Berlin and the Nevada dessert。 A top secret plane has crashed in the Nevada desert and there is a defector that has information valuable to the West。 There is a mole in CIA which is threatening the mission and other agents。 It features a young Jack Ryan and other characters from past books。 We get a glimpse of their past stories。 The book is filled with suspense that will keep you wondering what happens next， will the good guys prevail。 Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy。 。。。more

This is terrific！ Know in advance that while Jack opens the book （and closes it）， he is part of an awesome ensemble cast of good guys and bad guys chasing a mysterious East German who had swiped part of an experimental plane that's crashed in the Nevada desert AND who are trying to meet a possible defector from the DDR。 Jack is 34 in this kinda prequel to many others in the series and he's been pulled from his job in London to travel to Germany to meet the possible defector。 He's only part of th This is terrific！ Know in advance that while Jack opens the book （and closes it）， he is part of an awesome ensemble cast of good guys and bad guys chasing a mysterious East German who had swiped part of an experimental plane that's crashed in the Nevada desert AND who are trying to meet a possible defector from the DDR。 Jack is 34 in this kinda prequel to many others in the series and he's been pulled from his job in London to travel to Germany to meet the possible defector。 He's only part of that team， which is very much led by Mary Pat， a CIA C/O， and watched over by the mysterious John Clark。 The FBI team in the Nevada desert has a wiley one on their hands。 This skips between continents but ultimately pulls together。 This is less tech heavy than Clancy used to be （there's some heavy tech stuff up front about the plane but it's incidental） but it's also more propulsive。 These are wonderfully drawn characters （don't take your eye off Elke or poor Ruby）。 One tiny minor quibble- the child pulled from the car is alternately referred to a boy and a girl。 Not a big deal especially given the scope of the novel。 Thanks to edelweiss for the ARC。 I'm a fan of Cameron's Arliss Cutter series （if you haven't yet， you should）。 You don't need to have read any of the Clancy or Jack Ryan novels to enjoy this page turner。 Great read。 。。。more

Marc Cameron takes you back to the early days of Jack Ryan Sr。’s career in Red Winter。 Taking place after The Hunt for Red October， it takes him into East Berlin with the more experienced agent， Mary Pat Foley。 A young embassy worker was contacted by a possible defector。 His instructions suggest that the embassy has a mole and requests that someone not connected to the embassy contact him。 In Washington， Jim Greer requests Ryan and Foley to vet the potential defector。 Another familiar character， Marc Cameron takes you back to the early days of Jack Ryan Sr。’s career in Red Winter。 Taking place after The Hunt for Red October， it takes him into East Berlin with the more experienced agent， Mary Pat Foley。 A young embassy worker was contacted by a possible defector。 His instructions suggest that the embassy has a mole and requests that someone not connected to the embassy contact him。 In Washington， Jim Greer requests Ryan and Foley to vet the potential defector。 Another familiar character， John Clark， is secretly sent to provide back up and keep them safe。As events unfold in East Berlin， a problem also arises in Nevada。 An experimental plane has crashed。 The crash was witnessed by Garit Richter， a deep cover East German spy who was camped along with a group of watchers hoping to see a UFO。 After killing two members of the group， Richter manages to escape with a piece of the plane that has an experimental coating on it。 The pilot had ejected and witnessed Richter’s actions from a distance， setting off a massive manhunt for the spy。 Cameron takes you into a divided Cold War Berlin， where the eastern sector is a grim reminder of the paranoia， the Russian presence and the East German police state。 From the moment that Ryan and Foley cross through Checkpoint Charlie it is a story of spy versus spy where mistakes lead to death。 It was a treat to see the young Jack Ryan again。 Cameron keeps the tension high throughout， making this a book that I could truly not put down。 I would like to thank NetGalley and Penguin Group - Putnam for providing this book for my review。 。。。more

This novel took me back to the original Tom Clancy books。 Jack Ryan is involved in an early career episode behind enemy lines。 The action was fast paced and exciting。 Great book！

I admittedly have not kept up with the Jack Ryan series but I did really enjoy this book。 The story takes place in the 80s after the events of Red October。 Jack Ryan is sent on a mission to Germany in a very spy-esque story。 Meanwhile， a downed experimental plane has had a piece of technology stolen by the enemy and is making his way out of the states。 I’ll say I enjoyed the return to more of the Cold War era storytelling as it takes some of the technology out of the equation。 I was a little wor I admittedly have not kept up with the Jack Ryan series but I did really enjoy this book。 The story takes place in the 80s after the events of Red October。 Jack Ryan is sent on a mission to Germany in a very spy-esque story。 Meanwhile， a downed experimental plane has had a piece of technology stolen by the enemy and is making his way out of the states。 I’ll say I enjoyed the return to more of the Cold War era storytelling as it takes some of the technology out of the equation。 I was a little worried about John Clark in the story but he stayed in the shadows （appropriately）。 I do feel there were a few to many storylines that weren’t wrapped up as much as I liked。 The stolen piece of aircraft plot was wrapped up a little too quick。 There also felt like there were too many traitors， sympathizers and unknowns to keep track of。 I also wish Jack Ryan had been a bit more prominent in the beginning of the book。 That said I would still recommend this book。 It’s great to see some of the old cast and they feel right at home in a 2022 publishing。 I was provided this advanced copy through NetGalley 。。。more

Marc Cameron takes Jack Ryan back to the height of the Cold War in Red Winter， the 34th overall book in the Jack Ryan Universe and sixth by Cameron， chronologically set just after Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October。 I believe the last time we were this early in Jack's career as a newbie CIA analyst was for Clancy's own forgettable Red Rabbit， back in 2002。 Thankfully， Red Winter fares much better than that book， on first impression。 While Clancy cut his teeth on Cold War stories， the rea Marc Cameron takes Jack Ryan back to the height of the Cold War in Red Winter， the 34th overall book in the Jack Ryan Universe and sixth by Cameron， chronologically set just after Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October。 I believe the last time we were this early in Jack's career as a newbie CIA analyst was for Clancy's own forgettable Red Rabbit， back in 2002。 Thankfully， Red Winter fares much better than that book， on first impression。 While Clancy cut his teeth on Cold War stories， the real world moved much faster than his publishing plans， so we didn't actually get very many Jack Ryan books sets in this era。 Moving backward in time is a smart move by Cameron， and also avoids the natural question of just how long we can keep Ryan as President of the United States in the contemporary setting。 Granted， Clancy books have always played fast and loose with its own interior timeline， but publishing wise， we've had roughly 13 years of President Ryan since the franchise was resurrected with 2010's Dead or Alive。 Eventually he has to leave office， right？ Presuming the authors stay true to character and don't betray Ryan's legacy by turning him into some kind of Trumpian， power-mad， ape-like figure who launches an insurrection against his own government all of a sudden， or turn him into some kind of action hero cum cartoon parody a la Mitch Rapp， at least。。。But back in 1985， Ryan was still a green recruit and looked at poorly by the higher-ups on the seventh floor as being nothing more than a wet behind the ears academic。 James Greer knows better， though， and goddamn is it ever nice to have this old chap back on the page again。 I've missed Greer and hope， if we're lucky enough to get more prequel books out of Cameron， that he finds a way to bring Jack's buddy Robby Jackson back， too。 The Air Force is running secret test runs on its new stealth technology over the skies of Nevada， prompting speculation and conspiracy theories galore by UFO enthusiasts。 When the jet crashes， it's a golden opportunity for Garit Richter， a Stasi spy in America， to steal a piece of new tech to sneak back home。 Meanwhile， the CIA has received word of a potential defector in East Berlin。 Jack and Mary Pat Foley are dispatched to handle the case， secretly protected by John Clark。Red Winter is， ultimately， a pretty simplistic storyline， but Cameron does a slick job of making it seem more complicated than it really is thanks to a handful of interpersonal kinks。 We've got some domestic drama from a housefrau forced into an affair with a Stasi officer， the FBI's search for a murderous foreign agent in the Nevada mountains， and a mole in the West Berlin office out to upend everything。 It's a fun read and fits neatly in the Clancy style， even if it does feel quite a lot more streamlined than Clancy's own works of this period， plus it's just fun to be back in that prime era of the Clancy timeline。 Although I didn't begin reading Clancy until the late '90s， I remember watching the fall of the Berlin Wall on television as a kid。 Red Winter captures the paranoia of the '80s Cold War well and， given how long it's been since we've seen Jack as such a young CIA recruit， there's a certain freshness to it， as well。 I certainly wouldn't mind it if the Clancy Estate authors decided to take an extended hiatus in the past and worked to fill in some of the gaps， turning the elder Ryan's half of the franchise into some historical Cold War fiction， at least for a little while。 。。。more

Marc Cameron has done an admirable job on this installment and I think Tom Clancy fans will be very happy。 The book starts off with a defection at a McDonald's and immediately dives into the Ryan family earlier than we have met them before。。 Even seasoned readers may find themselves referring back to the Principal Characters List at the beginning of this book 。 This book keeps you thinking and involved until the last page。Thanks to NetGalley， Marc Cameron， and Penguin Random House for the opport Marc Cameron has done an admirable job on this installment and I think Tom Clancy fans will be very happy。 The book starts off with a defection at a McDonald's and immediately dives into the Ryan family earlier than we have met them before。。 Even seasoned readers may find themselves referring back to the Principal Characters List at the beginning of this book 。 This book keeps you thinking and involved until the last page。Thanks to NetGalley， Marc Cameron， and Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I've always thought Marc Cameron is criminally underrated but with Red Winter that should no longer be the case。 During the Cold War in 1985， espionage was the name of the game。 Everyone was spying on everyone。 A top-secret plane crashes in the Nevada desert。 Before the scene is secured， a foreign spy is able to retrieve a piece of the highly classified technology。 Meanwhile， an embassy official goes missing in West Berlin and a stranger contacts the CIA and says he has high-level information on I've always thought Marc Cameron is criminally underrated but with Red Winter that should no longer be the case。 During the Cold War in 1985， espionage was the name of the game。 Everyone was spying on everyone。 A top-secret plane crashes in the Nevada desert。 Before the scene is secured， a foreign spy is able to retrieve a piece of the highly classified technology。 Meanwhile， an embassy official goes missing in West Berlin and a stranger contacts the CIA and says he has high-level information on his government in exchange for asylum。 Jack Ryan and Mary Pat Foley are sent behind the Iron Curtain to vet the source and figure out what exactly is happening。Ok， secret time。 I've never read an actual Tom Clancy authored book。 My introduction to Tom Clancy has been within the last 10ish years thus I enjoyed seeing an inexperienced Ryan as well as a seeing Mary Pat Foley and John Clarke in their element as younger badasses。 Cameron has written a classic， Cold War spy thriller with plenty of intrigue， action， tension and a cast of shady characters。 I read Cameron had to rush to finish Red Winter but you would never be able to tell it。 I think Red Winter is Marc Cameron's finest work to-date。 Whether you are new to this series or a hardcore fan of Jack Ryan， Red Winter checks every box of a great espionage thriller！My sincere thanks to Marc Cameron， G。P。 Putnam's Sons， and NetGalley for the privilege of reviewing an advanced copy of Red Winter。 。。。more

This book felt just like vintage Clancy。 The pacing and story were exciting and kept me coming back for more。 I was very happy to see an actual Jack Ryan Sr。 book that tells a story between Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger， with a bunch of characters that I thought were gone forever。 It was extremely nostaligic of my early reading years。 I sincerely hope that there are more "in between" stories that give that vintage feel that we can enjoy for years to come。 Marc Cameron is a phenomena This book felt just like vintage Clancy。 The pacing and story were exciting and kept me coming back for more。 I was very happy to see an actual Jack Ryan Sr。 book that tells a story between Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger， with a bunch of characters that I thought were gone forever。 It was extremely nostaligic of my early reading years。 I sincerely hope that there are more "in between" stories that give that vintage feel that we can enjoy for years to come。 Marc Cameron is a phenomenal writer and I would recommend this to any Clancy fan。 5 stars easy。 。。。more

This book tells of an early adventure of Jack Ryan， one where he meets Mary Pat Foley and John Clark for the first time。 There were two storylines， both involving East Germany。 One had our heroes in East Germany and the other with agents chasing an East German spy in the western US。 Good characters and pacing。
