Title: Starts bad and gets worse
Review: All the stereotypes are here: the big men with their big guns, the crazed terrorists with their slightly smaller guns and for good measure he throws in a bunch of mad enviromentalists ready to wipe out the entire population of the earth. It's clear that Clancy stopped doing research for his books years ago (his lack of knowlege is pretty glaring - he obviously doesn't know the difference between the Provos and the INLA) and this book proves that he could no longer bother to think up a plot either. The book is little more that a set of predictable action sequences strung together on the back of an absurd story which, thankfully, is little more than filler.If you enjoy a good thriller, read one of the masters like Forsyth or le Carrier. If you enjoy books written by a computer program, read Tom Clancy.
