Great Book! Reminded me why I love Tom Clancy’s books. Also, Clark is one of my favorite characters.

This venture outside my comfort zone was truly rewarding. Action and intrigue from the very beginning.

I have read all of Tom Clancy's fiction so far and have been rarely dissappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this entry as well, although it seems to be written at a level one notch below his usual standards. There is lots of action and lots of insights into the world of anti-terrorism but I felt one element was missing. I never found myself fearful of danger. All of the Rainbow organization are supermen with little chance of being bested. You knew they were going to win out every time; the interest was in how they would accomplish each mission. The only time I was concerned for the safety of the characters was when a different group of guys was brought into the main action. I expected some to die there, and they did. It was like watching one of the original Star Trek TV shows where the one guy you've never seen before that beams down to to the planet was the guy you knew was going to get eaten by the slime monster. I expect a lot from Clancy so I am being very critical here. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It was an easy read, despite the number of pages, and the whole thing flowed together nicely. Read it for the action, read it for the familiar characters, read it for the "Good guys win" feeling, but just read it.
