Negative Positive
Title: Remarkably Prescient
Review: The main thrust of Clancy's latest novel depicts a conflict over Siberian resources between China, Russia and the USA. This part of the book contains all the combat action we have come to expect from this great author and more. It is undoubtable that the last section of the book that deals with the war itself is his most masterful piece of writing yet. I would certainly have liked to see this expanded to take up a greater section of the book at the expense of shortening some of the sidestories that are a hallmark of Clancy's novels, because I particularly enjoy the author's descriptions of military action, but those readers who prefer the build up phases will be happy with the allocation of the bookspace. Overall, this is an excellent book that I would highly recommend to any fan of Tom Clancy and it has the added benefit of identifying what may very well become a point of conflict in the future.
Is the review positive or negative?
