Title: Should have been titled, Slow and Boring
Review: Typically, I find Tom Clancy's books too slow and overly-technical compared to the many good authors of this genre. But this one started out very nicely and I started my read. However, fter the first few chapters, Tom Clancy returned to form - slow and boring. Other than the initial excitement, it was a tedious build-up for 260 pages before the real action occurred.Worse, the entire premise is ridiculous. Clancy gives us the president's son, Jack Ryan Jr., sent off overseas as an undercover agent to supervise assassinations. This is certainly believable! No one would recognize the president's son! That would be like asking one of the Kennedy boys, Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter to go unnoticed while they pulled off hits around the world. Clancy seems intent on following in the footsteps of Robert Ludlum: Write a good book or two, then begin the descent into mediocracy and tediousness.
