Numerous spelling, grammatical, and story line errors.

Clancy is suffering from too much success. His editors no longer trim his books down to remove the 100 or so pages of dialogue and narration entered for padding and not contributing to plot movement, characterization, anything except more…

Not as good as his other books I've read. Not as much action, too much cyberspace talk about coding and decoding computer languanges so I didn't get much out of that.

Typical Clancy book. What he takes 800 pages to say, can be said in 350. Even the most minor character is expounded upon to take up a whole chapter. My god, get on with it, the character gets killed off quickly and you have the impression…

SPOILERS I've been dedicatedly reading Tom Clancy since Red October. Yup, DOA is a fast read alright and only moderately recommended for the diehard TC fan. Even with a co-author, the latest TC is a watered down version from his…

Clancy's better days are well behind him, as this book clearly demonstrates. He's still running with the worst case scenario, which can be a good thing, but as usual, spends far too much time explaining little bits of technology or facts…

Not the best Clancy to much aliteration. Good to scan though

Dead or alive was okay, but Clancy is at his best when sticking to the military/national security aspects of the story. The bleeding over of not-so-subtle political commentary into the story detracts from the realism and the ability to…

Tom Clancy's first book in more than a decade. Jack Ryan Jr. up against Carlos.
