This is the first Clancy novel I haven't liked. It's as well written (style-wise) as anything else he's done, it's just that nothing really happens. No suspense, no huge dramatic moments (compare this to anything else he's written). I'm a little surprised he'd write a dud like this, even more surprised the publisher would allow it. If you're not familiar with Tom Clancy, this is not a good book to start with, if you are, this will dissapoint you. If you need a Clancy fix, re-read Executive Orders, or The Bear and the Dragon. Red Rabbit is roadkill.
