Title: Very Sad Effort
Review: I have read all of Mr. Clancy's books and like others have become disappointed with the quality of writing not to mention the disjointed story line. How his editors allowed this novel to be published is beyond my comprehension. It seemed the same phrases were used time and time again to the detriment of the book. Finally I think its high time Mr. Clancy retired Jack Ryan. I have never, ever, been a fan of Ryan, reading the books more for the other characters Mr. Clancy created. If I have to read one more time about Ryan's character I will gag. Personally, every time the book reverted to the White House where Ryan was wrestling with some dilemma I breezed through the segment hoping to read something more interesting then Mr. Clancy moralizing to us through Jack Ryan's character. Do us all a favor Mr. Clancy, if you are unable to write to your previous high standards, just stop and run for office since it appears you think you have all the answers.
