content: This novel did not match up to the high standards I had come to expect from Clancy over the years with almost every other one of his novels to this point (all of which I read). Too wordy for the plot line...and then the end was too rushed in my opinion.In addition, Clancy has apparently bought into the dogma that high tech trumps numbers and strategy in all cases. The old saying "Quantity has a quality all its own" can still come into play when contemplating land warfare in Asia against Red China. I am afraid a fight like that contemplated here would not be so easily won.Aside from that...too many repetitive phrases, too many stereotypes and too much verbosity in the storyline.
