Review title: Clancy before he found his form.
Product review: Having now read about 80 percent of Tom Clancy's books, I can say that this one is the worst. His finest skills have to do with his intricate knowledge of a wide variety of technical, procedural and military matters. The parts of the book where these skills shine are very interesting, such as the satellite surveillance scene. But most of the pages are dominated by characters interacting with each other emotionally, and Clancy's simplistic understanding of human emotion quickly reveals the vacuous dullness of his characters. They are stuck in a situation where they are incapable of action, and ACTION is one of the things Clancy is the master of. So if you like to read about some boring, whiny people waiting around for a terrorist to attack them in the final pages, then you'll enjoy this book. Otherwise, read Clear and Present Danger instead.
