Title: Clancy needs an editor!
Review: This book is really long and rather tedious. Tom Clancy needs an editor! His attention to detail is really slipping. Here are two small examples: he describes the language of China as "Guoyu" which is what Chinese is called on Taiwan. In China, everyone calls it "putonghua;" he also mentions a U.S. Navy port call to Taipei. Taipei is not a port but is ten miles from the sea. Taiwan's main ports are Keelung and Kaohsiung. In general, Clancy appears to have never visited China and so describes a mainland culture that is sadly out of date.
