Patriot Games by Tom Clancy [JACK RYAN #1]

FIRST EDITION • FIRST PRINTING [1987] G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS

Beautiful 1st of Tom Clancy's third novel; chronologically the first in the Jack Ryan series. 

Hardcover with dust jacket in excellent condition. 

A few nicked edges and a touch of shelf wear to an overall beautiful dust jacket.  Now housed in a new archival quality jacket protector. 

Book itself is very nice; spine looks slightly misshapen around cloth.  Otherwise excellent.  Clean, tight and reads good as new.  

It is fall. Years before the defection of a Soviet submarine will send him hurtling into confrontation with the Soviets, historian, ex-Marine and CIA analyst Jack Ryan is vacationing in London with his wife and young daughter, when a terrorist attack takes place before his eyes. Instinctively, he dives forward to break it up, and is shot. It is not until he wakes up in the hospital that he learns whose lives he has saved -- the Prince and Princess of Wales and their new young son -- and which enemies he has made -- the Ulster Liberation Army, an ultra-left-wing splinter of the IRA.

By his impulsive act, he has gained both the gratitude of a nation and then enmity of hits most dangerous men -- men who do not sit on their hate. And in the weeks and months to come, it is Jack Ryan, and his family, who will become the targets of that hate.
