The Cardinal of the Kremlin - 1988 |
Two men possess vital information on Russia's Star Wars missile defense system. One of them is CARDINAL -- America's highest agent in the Kremlin -- and he's about to be terminated by the KGB. The other one is the American who can save CARDINAL and lead the world to the brink of peace . . . or war. Here is author Tom Clancy's heart-stopping masterpiece -- a riveting novel about one of the most intriguing issues of our time. |
A US spy sattelite discovers a laser defence site at Dushanbe, near the Afghanistan border. The laser system is capable of melting a satellite or an aircraft. CIA's highest placed agent in the Kremlin, codename Cardinal, knows more, but the KGB is on to him. He chooses to stay and continue and give information to the US. CIA supports an Afghani freedom fighter group to find and destroy the laser defence system. The Cardinal is in trouble and Jack Ryan has to get into the Soviet Union and get him out. |
