Based on the elapsed time after CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER and the fact that they discuss Ryan as recently being elected President, this would have to put the story in 97. RAINBOW 6 was released in 1998 and had to be set after 1991 as this is the year H&K released the MP5 variant in 10mm which is the primary weapon most of the Rainbow team uses throughout the story. I believe it also references a presidential re-election coming at the end of the year which would give you 1992. There are almost no references to the USSR in the story or they are all past tense and the story depicts a shift in the CIAs focus that would lead me to believe it was after the fall in 1989. I would put a moderately confident date for that story as taking place around 1988.ĬLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER would fall in nicely not long after CARDINAL, but is the turning point when the series moves to the post USSR world. It could also be narrowed down a little more based on most Russian activity in Afghanistan ceasing by 1989. I haven't read all of the Ryan stories, but here is some of what I gathered from the ones I have read:ĬARDINAL OF THE KREMLIN obviously took place before 1991 when the USSR collapsed. It's certainly possible (and also entertaining) to estimate years from numerous clues, and I had several blunders before.
