content: What a gagger!Clancy's 1-dimensional characters get more and more boring, and here they're in a plotline that's improbable at best. His treatment of women is condescending, to say the least (one wife, a doctor, says to her spec ops operator husband, "You kill people? I'm not sure I like that...")The story, albeit interesting, goes on altogether too long. I found myself reading the last 200 pages or so just to find out what happened.The more detail Clancy goes into, the more he gets wrong. He's descending into Mack Bolan territory, it seems. It takes more than several heads "exploding like a ripe melon" to make a decent novel. If you're already a fan, you'll love it-- it's the same crap he's been pumping out since "Sum of All Fears." If you're not a fan, grab "Hunt for Red October" or "Red Storm Rising"-- 2 really good ones by Clancy; before he started believing his own press releases.
