Title: I think Tom is bored, and would quit except it pays so well
Review: I am a Clancy fan and have read all of his single author work.The book dragged. It took a long time to get going and then it didn't last long. Mr. Clancy is famous for the techno thriller genre. In this one he forgot the thriller and the techno.His hero Jack Ryan, shows up to be a chain smoking, alcoholic, sexist, preacher for a watered down Roman Catholism. He is willing to comitt suicide, rather than be thought a coward. The villians are all shallow dirty old men. Two of his best characters are both gunned down early in the plot.There a long poorly done uneeded seduction scene. There is an account of diplomacy which if accurate would seem to indicate that all diplomats die of boredom.The story is pedicatable and not very interesting.Please Tom, we know you can do better.
