Summary: This Book is Not English it is American
Review: A horrible book. Firstly too long. Readers will forget the plot by the time they reach the last chapter.Although this is a great plot in my opinion There are also many grammatical mistakes so horrid I dare not utter them here. Clancy attempts to go Pro America but ends up telling us that the world is equal to hell...that we all should die. Mr Sabir Aah says "I dont dare touch that book. I hate clancy" If you are a bold reader then you may try this book. For most readers however, I would warn you... By the Way if someone with lots of time, power, ink and/or money could turn this book into a 500 p. one it would be worth 1.01 stars.

Summary: The last Clancy book I read
Review: I had read all of Tom Clancy's books up to and including this one. But this one made me realize that now that the Cold War was over, so was my fascination with Clancy. This book is part "Tom Clancy's Public Policy Opinions" and part virus outbreak, with a homegrown terrorist plot that, without giving too much away, ends up a major disappointment. The virus plot is interesting, but the political plot wasn't to me. Perhaps this is because I don't share Clancy's views, and he portrayed them as such basic common sense, with the opposing side so hapless in offering a rebuttle, that I was a little offended. This also made me reflect on his previous books and realize even more that his characters all seem to be either really really good guys or really really bad guys with horrible character flaws. There's never any shades of gray to his characters, and even the "scandal" that dogs Ryan is due to him being too noble for his own good. Finally, I realized that with Jack Ryan as president, his days of dodging torpedos in a submarine were at an end, and thus, my favorite literary action character was being retired to a desk job.
