Title: Must Read for Clancy Fan's
Review: Tom Clancy's latest is true to form. For diehard fans of JackRyan, John Clark and other Clancy characters, The Bear and The Dragon is a must read. Clancy flawlessly develops his intricate plot from multiple angles and the use of techno-speak is just enough to be factual without actually becoming an annoyance. The book is quite a long read at 1000+ pages, but its hard to put down nonetheless. Don't plan on buying it unless you have a little freetime! A couple minor criticisms arise from the several typo's I found while reading the book (editor's fault?) and a more racial slant in describing the villian of the book, China. While the Soviet villains of yesteryear's Clancy novels were easy enough to hate for their ideology and actions, I don't really find it necessary to throw in racial stereotypes to make a convincing villian. But, as I said, these are minor criticisms and I anxiously await another Clancy novel after devouring this one.
