Susan Cronk said A must-add to your Clancy audio library.. There's a lot going on in this novel and I am glad that I was finally able to add it to my audio library collection. I have listened through it a few times already. I always seem to hear some detail that I didn't catch the first time. The characters are familiar from the earlier Clancy books, but they remain engaging and the author continues to build nuances into . PlainAcres said Better than the movie!. I had seen the movie so thought I would be bored by the book. Couldn't put it down. The plot holes in the movie are not in the book. Clancy spins a pretty good yarn Clancy is a fun read most of the time. He seems to know his subject matter quite well, but is sometimes too anxious to show his expertise. The result it a pretty good story, but much longer than it need be. The rush to bring too many stories into one gets tedious at times. It is an easy book to put down and come back to later.
