Title: This can't be Clancy, can it?
Review: I've been a fan of the Ryan series of Clancy's books for years and eagerly anticipate each new release. Loved the majority of them, including the recent 'Debt of Honor' and 'Rainbow Six'. I don't know what the heck happened here, but B&D falls so far short of the previous work that I can't believe it's Clancy's writing. I mean, do Mary Pat and Ed Foley really need to call each other 'honey bunny' 50 times throughout the book? Do I need to be continually reminded that Mao screwed 12 year olds? I think not. An RPG assassination and then nothing but boring diatribe on the Chinese and repetitive nonsense for the next 700 pages until the action begins. And then it's the usual 'Americans are invincible' Hollywood nonsense. No, I can't believe this is Clancy. I'm sure the next one will be better (right Tom?)
Is the review positive or negative?
