Title: A Lousy excuse for a Book even if it is a good Computer Game
Review: Simply put, this is one big commercial for his computer game. If you buy the computer game, the book might come in handy. If not, you're wasting your money.This is a series of fifteen chapters which apparently correspond to events in the computer game. There is some common thread throughout the chapters, mainly that we are at war with China over the Spratley Islands and that Clancy's sub skipper, one Captain Mack Mackey, goes about various missions as we go to war. Tom Clancy in his introduction, freely states that the book is modeled after the computer game but he also says that his goal is to give the reader "a strategy guide to submarine warfare". There is some strategy. The strategy is to sell the computer game. Take the "interview" with his friends... a significant amount of that interview discusses how closely the book follows the game. Enough said.Dont buy it unless you're going to buy the game too.
