I had heard a lot about this author and realized I had seen a lot of movies that were made from his books. Based on that fact I had raised expectations, which were pretty much met by the interesting way he tells his story an what seemed to be a strong sense of understanding of the military/government machine. I have to say I sometimes grow weary of the way that some authors maintain six or more stories which they bounce back and fourth too. But then that technique does have an upside to because with each change your interest is stimulated. So I not only would recommend this book but hope to some day find the time to read some more of this authors work. Something up to date as this story was set a time when fax machines were first coming out.

A story that is well written and uses realistic characters. Tom Clancy has done his research and has composed it in a highly digestible and enjoyable format. Great fiction and lots of suspense. One of the better fictional military story writers. Lots of intelligence and military details. Clancy has polished the techno-thriller genre and taken it to a new higher standard. I've read all of the Jack Ryan-related stories: Hunt for Red October, Cardinal of the Kremlin, Rainbow Six, Clear and Present Danger, Red Storm Rising. They are all great.
