Go to a book store and pick any book at random - it's likely to be an improvement over Eye of the Tiger.This from a Clancy fan - when i saw he was writing under his own name (ie not cowritten), i was looking forward to a good thriller.Instead what you get is terribly bad writing - incredibly repetitive. While most of the Clancy books have a conservative slant, this one seems little more than a platform for Clancy to expand on some very lame and often contradictory political and religious points of view. There is barely any plot to speak of.The characters aer superficial and not well thought out. Worst of all, they are inconsistent and at times donwright moronic. it's as if the book were written for teenagers.This book is so bad you have to wonder if it's the same author that wrote the early blockbusters that made Clancy to so famous.
