Patriot Games is the first (per the blurb) or second (per SYKM, with whom I tend to agree in this case) in the Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy. Although I really didn't (still don't) like Clancy's politics, I have to admit he wrote some pretty darn good thrillers early on - Red Storm Rising is still one of my favorite books, and I don't tend to like thrillers/war books. (Although the politics were always there, the politics really bled into his later books though, IMO, and so I personally quit reading his books somewhere along the way...) In any case, however, Games has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Quote:
From Tom Clancy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Ryan novels--including his latest blockbusters Command Authority and Threat Vector--comes a gripping story of the Ryan family under fire. In an explosive wave of violence, an ultra-left-wing faction of the IRA is hunting one man for his act of salvation in an attempted assassination. And now Jack Ryan must pay…with his life.
