Truly awful How Clancy can put his name on juvenile trash like this, even  now when the material he writes himself is worthy of five stars(i.e RAINBOW  SIX, RED STORM RISING among others) is beyond me. The story might have had  real potential in a proper Clancy novel, with a takeover of the United  Nations. It could have been awesome if thought out intelligently, but is  totally wasted. Renegade 'peacekeepers' turn terrorists(!!) and kidnap a  children's orchestra(!!), start killing the hostages and THEN start  bargaining? Come on! And of course, one of the hostages just happens to be  one of Op Center director Paul Hood's kids! Ho-hum. Crap-Center strikes  again. I could write an entire book about how bad this one is.
