content: It's interesting to note that most of the 'five-star' reviews below of this book are by people who have not yet finished it. Most of the negative reviews are by people who don't like his politics.I'm someone who loves his politics: I like his patriotism, his sense of justice, his take-no-prisoners concern that the bad guys fry. But Clancy over and over tends to write one really great book followed two years later by one he just "phones in."This book doesn't get started until page 490. There is no attempt at characterization of either Clark or Chavez or Popov or anyone else. The terrorist events are repetitious. The combat situations are repetitious. Even the conversations are repeated over and over: Hey, Tom -- it's not groundhog day!Your "Executive Orders" only a year ago was a superb, brilliant, powerful, moving book. I was counting the months until this one.What happened, dude?
