Title: TOO MANY PAGES - TOO LITTLE WAR
Review: Tom Clancy is in dire need of a Book Editor. This novel reads like an Unedited first draft - needlessly overlong, overwritten, with too few incidents occuring and a sluggish plot that never rises to the occasion (not even in the end). It's simply not worth 1,028 pages - and your time. It could easily lose 400 or so. It seems Clancy did a lot of research and dang! if he isn't going to include each & every thing he learned. Back off, Tom! I loved his previous novels - but with this one, he shows that he's rapidly losing sight of simple, good story-telling. This is not a worthy successor to his previous novels. It's slow, excessively wordy, and too thin.
