Description

THE CARDINAL OF THE KREMLIN - 1ST PRINTING HARD COVER.

by Tom Clancy.

OVERVIEW: First Printing edition. fairly tight book, clean pages, one of the nicest I've seen. Dust jacket in gold foil letters has some flaking, but we have protected the jacket in an acid free book cover. Then we have sealed the book again for archival protection.

OVERVIEW: Mikhail Filitov is a war hero and Red Army Colonel, but his CIA code name is "Cardinal." A chance encounter in a Moscow subway leads the KGB to begin a hunt--for the spy in top echelons of power. From the author of Clear and Present Danger, The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising, enter a world of high-wire, high-tech international intrigue that reaches from the bloody dust of Afghanistan to the use of lasers in space. The US and the USSR are negotiating a treaty that could lead to war--or peace--while their secret espionage armies are locked in the ultimate struggle. What the Cardinal knows could change the course of history. What a maverick CIA man named Ryan must do is outduel the KGB--and bring the Cardinal out alive!  (1A)
