Jack and his family are in England, can things be expected to go smoothly? Well, not if we want a novel.
I read this years ago. Have you seen the movie? Try the book. For one thing while it is a fantastic read and the proverbial thrill ride, it is undoubtedly dated. The "victims" Jack saves are Prince Charles and Princess Diana, still happily married.
Still, failed fantasies aside, the story is exciting, well written, and a good base for the novels that follow. ...more

Another Coronavirus Lockdown reread...Love these Clancy geopolitical thrillers, though, this one is less expansive...set in the '80s and in the midst of the Irish Troubles...Jack thwarts a terrorist's attack on the "Royals" and as a result, he and his family become targets of revenge of a splinter group of the Provisionals...Great Read, much better than the very good movie!!!
