content: I've read every Tom Clancy fiction title, but this will be the last. Aside from the many oversights in editing, I'm simply disappointed to see what has happened to my favorite characters. Good ol' Jack Ryan, formerly a regular guy (despite his wealth, intelligence, hero status, and Harrison Ford good looks), now shamelessly preaches about "treehuggers," Roe V. Wade, Liberals in Congress, White House hanky-panky and whatever else irks Mr. Clancy. Other valued characters, including Robby (V.P.) Jackson and George (Trader) Winston, have become similarly obnoxious. Whether one agrees with the politics or not, this is not why we read Clancy "thrillers." I would agree with a previous reviewer about the possibility of a ghost writer here; I'm sure it was Rush Limbaugh.
