Title: Stupid plot, but still entertaining!
Review: Tom Clancy is the master of the techno-thriller but this book lacks the "techno" of his others. The premise of an international anti-terrorist unit is great but the villains were absurd. With the fall of the USSR and frequent use of middle eastern terrorists, I guess militant environmentalists are the only bad guys left. The book's saving grace are its protaganists, Clark and Chavez. The bio-warfare was done to death in his last book and he needs a new threat to the world. It's good mindless summer reading, but if you're expecting a good "Tom Clancy" novel, maybe you should check out his earlier works (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger). Despite my comments, I'm still the first in line to buy his books!
