Title: What happened to Clancy?
Review: Clancy's last really good book was "Debt of Honor." "Bear & the Dragon," "Red Rabbit," and now this book have all felt like inferior, phoned-in efforts. The twins say each other's nicknames CONSTANTLY and it gets tiresome. Plus, Clancy is getting a REALLY annoying habit of finding a catchphrase and repeating it endlessly -- in the narrative, out of the one character's mouth, out of another character's mouth (ex: "Reality is analog, not digital"). It's a fun catchphrase, Tom -- use it once, maybe twice -- NO MORE. I read Clancy for technothriller action sequences, not office procedurals or political views. Get back to what you're good at, Mr. Clancy, or stop writing.
