Negative Positive
Title: A big disappointment
Review: This is by far the worst of Tom Clancy's books. The story line is predictable, the characters are all one dimensional, and it is boring. Mr. Clancy had several opportunites to explore the contradictions in the "good guys" that kill for a living and the bad guys that want to kill everyone to restore earth to a "pristine" condition, but he never took them. His bad guys are just plain unbelievable. Even the most extreme environmentalist would believe that a small colony of 5000 people would survive without support from a much larger group. Where are they going to get their fuel? How about supplies for their research? Electricity? Spare Parts? The bad guys act like these things will magically appear. Totally unbelievable. One of the main tasks of an author is cause us to suspend our disbelief in favor of the story. Mr. Clancy failed miserably. If you are not a die hard Clancy fan, avoid this stink-a-roo at all costs.
