Title: Trite and Forumulaic
Review: Tom Clancy used to write fine stuff, but his work has been going steadily downhill. I guess now that he's successful, he figures he can just "mail it in". This book reads like Clancy just sat down and typed out his stream of consciousness -- it doesn't seem like any real effort was expended in its creation.One thing that really grated on me: Whenever anyone starts up their computer, Clancy ALWAYS says they "light up their computer". I'm a computer guy, and I've NEVER heard ANYONE ever say "I lit up my computer...". Clancy's repetitive use of this phrase (which I'm sure he thought was clever and macho) made me want to puke.Towards the end of the book, when "the twins" (awww, fraternal twins, how cute!) are dispatched to Europe, I thought I was reading an old Ian Fleming James Bond novel. I'm surprised Clancy didn't have his protagonists visit Monte Carlo to play some baccarat!What a weak effort.
