Title: Not up to Clancy's standards
Review: Clancy's books are usually well paced, gripping and built on plausible facts, but the Op-Center series is generally sub-standard. This one is sub-sub-standard. I feel thoroughly cheated. The action is spasmodic and the lack of knowledge of Spain downright pitiful. Clancy, haven't you ever been to Spain? The interplay of Spanish political forces is less than primary, the knowledge of Spanish people nil. The names are sometimes ridiculous and the characters can't even speak Spanish! Who wants my copy? I won't keep this one for a second reading.
