Negative Positive
Title: One of his worst to date.
Review: Clancy obviously has different constraints nowadays like publishers to satisfy, etc. As a result he is having to move with the times especially with the end of the Cold War being witnessed. His usual attention to detail is obviously missing. Some may argue why worry about such trivialities (e.g. the VC.20B that Clark and Chavez use to fly from Canada to the U.K. is not a Gulfstream 4 but a G3!. In the U.K. we talk about a draw in Football - Soccer, not ties!) but things like this should be easily verified and was the thing that won him many fans in the first place. This is a good book and easy to read but when compared to the very high standards that he set early on this one falls well short. It will appeal to the masses who aren't quite so discriminating.
Is the review positive or negative?
