Negative Positive
Title: Well-Written, but sadly lacking in some respects
Review: This book was definitely not written by Clancy. In his earlier series, Op-Center, he at least followed his own style of writing. Without his name on the cover, I could have never guessed he wrote it. The only way it is remotely like any other Clancy books is that it is a definite rip-off of the first Op-Center book. Read them both and look at the similarities: the man who loses his wife (Gregory Donald in Op-Center, the chief of police in Politika), the bombing (a convention in Seoul, New Year's in Times Square). This was not very good, at least not enough to read more than once. It had good points, but overall, he has written much better.
Is the review positive or negative?
