Title: Very Weak Entry to the Clancy canon
Review: This book is very disappointing, as it never seemed the least bit believable nor compelling. The threat didn't seem threatening, the operations not convincing, and in a first for a Clancy-verse novel, was internally inconsistent. For example, on page 413 of the paperback "..the woman put three bullets into the back of the wheelchair. The dead body fell forward." Yet on page 426 referring to the same wheelchair (after a knife thrust to it's back,) "..she murmured 'How did he miss?' 'I never go anywhere without my Kevlar-lining,' he said. 'Multilayered bullet-proofing in the back and seat..." How does a body get pitched out of a chair when the bullets can't directly transfer their momentum to the body in question? It's not a big point, but an example of the sloppiness in the book, which is unusual for most of the Clancy-verse offerings. A uncharacteristically weak and unsatisfying offering.
Is the review positive or negative?
