As a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history, his dream of writing a novel came true with his first effort, The Hunt for Red October (1984). Tom Clancy was an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College. His rescue could spell the difference between peace and war, and it is up to Jack Ryan to accomplish it - if he can - as, in a breathtaking sequence of hunter and hunted, Filitov's life, and Ryan's and that of the world itself literally hang in the balance. Because Filitov, code-named Cardinal, is America's highest agent in the Kremlin, and he is about to be betrayed to the KGB. To the two greatest nations on earth, no contest is more urgent than the race to build the first Star Wars missile defense system, and no one knows that more than the two men charged with assessing the Soviets' capabilities: Colonel Mikhail Filitov of the Soviet Union, an old-line warrior distrusted by the army's new inner circle of technocrats, and CIA analyst Jack Ryan, hero of the Red October affair.Įach must use all his craft to arrive at the truth, but Filitov gets there first - and that's when all hell breaks loose. In the Soviet hills of Dushanbe near the Afghanistan border, an otherworldly array of pillars and domes rises into the night. In a rolling sea off the coast of South America, a target disappears in a puff of green light.

Her most ambitious novel to date, Eva Luna was described by The Washington Post as a “cascade of stories tumbles out before the reader, stories vivid, passionate, and human.” Now in The Stories of Eva Luna, Isabel Allende again presents us with a treasure trove of such stories, showing us once more why Eva Luna (and her much-celebrated creator) has such a large and devoted readership.
