Patriot Games

Patriot Games (1987) is a book by Tom Clancy. It is chronologically the second book (after Without Remorse) featuring CIA analyst Jack Ryan, the main person in almost all of Clancy's novels. Ryan saves the Prince of Wales from a breakaway Irish terrorist group, who go after Ryan and his family, partially as an act of revenge, but partially because they seek to undermine public (and specifically American) support for the IRA. The book's title is a reference to The Patriot Game, an anti-British Irish Nationalist song, popular among the IRA.
