Title: Good R&D, slow, monotonous execution
Review: Clancy's claim to fame is the excellent research he does to give his books that extra sense of reality. In this one, the research was there, the concept seemed plausible and the book was real enough, but the topic of the research was just too mundane to make a good novel. After the first few chapters, in which there is a disturbing but convincing abduction and murder, the book just rambles....and rambles....and rambles...almost until the last few chapters. Frequent references to prior works and what appears to be an effort to build up new characters for future books adds to the monotony. On the positive side, I could find no major flaws in the character development, plot or technical aspects of the book....Mont Blanc tunnel not withstanding. I haven't read a Clancy novel in a while and, although this wasn't a bad read, it could have been better.
