– Clancy is the most action-packed writer I have ever read of. His settings, usually the Cold War and the Superpowers, have intrigued me and always gotten my attention.
"Cardinal" is no different. It tells the story of the Hero of the Soviet Union and his sad, insecure life which he has devoted betraying the motherland to help the Americans. It tells the story of detailed spy work, interrogations, and rescue attempts. They are truly well written. However, the only drawback I found was that it had somewhat less action than the Clancy novels I've read.
The ending is great.
It was predictable but there was a twist that I didn't expect. Once again, a must read for any espionage fan.
