Page "Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy character)" Paragraph 13

In Patriot Games, Greer comes to Ryan and asks him to return to join the CIA permanently as an analyst to help track down the terrorists.

He declines initially, only to accept it later after a failed attack on himself and his family by the ULA severely injures his wife and daughter.

Later, while Ryan hosts the Prince and Princess of Wales at his home in Maryland, the ULA make a second attack on the Ryans, which is foiled by Jack, the Prince, and Commander Robert Jackson, USN.

Following the incident and arrest of the ULA members and Miller ( whom Ryan nearly executes with his Browning Hi Power ), Ryan is re-assigned to London as a member of a liaison group to the British Secret Intelligence Service.
