Summary :
(Taken from Wikipedia)
Jack Ryan, CIA, helps with transporting a Russian defector and his family to the United States with the help of the British SIS. He confirms the KGB plan to kill Pope John Paul II (who, at the time the novel takes place, had just been elected). As in many stories in the Jack Ryan universe, the story incorporates several historical events, including the 1978 assassination of Georgi Markov and the World War II era Operation Mincemeat. While Clancy does not rewrite the public version of events surrounding the nearly-successful assassination of the Pope, he does involve Ryan and his team in a typically clandestine manner.
