content: This is TC worst book to date. His characters are not developed and as usual he repeats the same thing over and over which does not develop the story. The worst part is that he paints Ryan and the USA as all good guys with the best toys. Not to give away the ending but to only lose 1 Tomcat while defeating all of China is the most preposterous thing imagined. I also got sick and tired of reading how Ryan hated to be president.To add insult to injury (not to mention price of book), TC felt obligated to make references to Bill Clinton's presidential woes. TC also felt, as seen in his recent books, a need to get on his personal pulpit, to expound his beliefs, whether religious, abortion, or otherwise. I wish he had just developed the story with the kind of vigor he used in expousing his personal beliefs. Definitely a waste of time.
