content: I've read all of Clancy's previous works, but this will be the last. Similar to Rainbow Six, this book could be made at least 200 pages shorter by editing out Clancy's rambling political pontifications. Clancy suffers from the extremely naive notion that unfettered capitalism will solve all the world's ills (tell that to people riding on Firestone Tires). Sadly for the reader, Clancy feels compelled to fill this book with an endless diatribe of Limbaugh-esque gibberish. If you must read this book, prepare to skip over pages of propaganda to find the story. It must be in there somewhere.
