'''Features''' |

'''''Red Rabbit''''' (2002) is a ''[[New York Times]]'' [[New York Times Best Seller list|bestselling]] novel by [[Tom Clancy]]. It incorporates the 1981 plot to assassinate [[Pope John Paul II]]. |

==Plot summary== |
|||
[[Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy character)|Jack Ryan]], [[CIA]], helps with transporting a [[Russia]]n [[defector]] and his family to the [[United States]] with the help of the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Secret Intelligence Service|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 (Tom Clancy character)|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. |
|||
==Reception== |
|||
Upon its release the novel received somewhat poor reviews. Critics praised Clancy's believable account of the plot, but disdained the lack of suspense. Reviewers for [[CNN]] and ''The New York Times'' considered the development of the main plot slow and tedious and noted that sub-plots remained underdeveloped and unresolved.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/books/09/24/review.clancy/ | title=Review: Clancy's 'Red Rabbit' rotten | publisher=[[CNN]] | author=Meagher, L.D. | date=September 24, 2002 | accessdate=2006-10-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | title=Books of the Times: Swipes About Hollywood And Other Media Types | author=Maslin, Janet | publisher=[[The New York Times]] | date=August 15, 2002}}</ref> Reviewers for ''[[Publishers Weekly]]'' and ''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'' believed the involvement of Clancy's main character Ryan in the main plot to be highly marginal.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.powells.com/review/2002_09_11.html | title=Clancy Time | publisher=[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]] | author=Miller, Adrienne | date=September 11, 2002 | accessdate=2006-10-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://reviews.publishersweekly.com/bd.aspx?isbn=0399148701&pub=pw | title=Red Rabbit | publisher=[[Publishers Weekly]] | date=July 29, 2002 | accessdate=2006-10-23}}</ref> Nevertheless, the novel reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List.<ref name="Hawes">{{cite web|url=http://www.hawes.com/2002/2002-08-25.pdf|title=NYT Best Sellers List; Fiction|date=August 25, 2002|publisher=Hawes Publications|accessdate=18 January 2010}}</ref> |
