Clear and Present Danger (1994)

Tom Clancy is a highly respected author. Just putting his name on a book sells about a million copies. For the life of me I can’t see why. In fact, I’m beginning to question all the super popular books. Dan Brown turned out to be basically terrible. Clive Cussler leans so heavily on the worst sex...

Patriot Games (1992)

Somehow, people like this book. Other people complain about the slow plot, or the level of detail, or the lack of action. I was perfectly fine with all of this, and in fact, I quite liked the idea that injuries were taken seriously and meant that people were out of action for a long time. The thi...

The Hunt for Red October (1999)

Writer’s style is not engaging or entertaining for me. He’s probably good for military technical buffs.This guy is a popular best selling author. But not for me. I assume his fans are those who love to think and talk about military technical stuff - with a story to go along with it. The autho...

Executive Orders (1998)

Reading this was entirely an exercise in reading something that lies way outside my comfort zone. Why is it outside my comfort zone? Well, it's not aimed at me for a start; I'm a woman, and I'm not American. I knew what I was taking on; it's a thriller, by a mega-bestselling author who special...

Debt of Honor (1995)

SUBJECTIVE READER REVIEW FOLLOWS:I've become a Clancy fan, and Debt of Honor--in its totality--may be one of the best novels ever written. I will quickly caveat that statement by saying that Clancy is one of the most prolific writers in history, as I had to ready 500 pages to get to the point whe...

Red Rabbit (2002)

I remember being intrigued by nothing more than the name - "Tom Clancy" - as far back as my earlier years of High School (I guess it was because I associated his name with such videogames as Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six). I picked up one of his books once and read a few pages ... before decidin...

The Sum of All Fears (2002)

I first heard of Tom Clancy in 1990, when a coworker told me about this author who'd become the darling of military specialists (sonar guys on submarines, for example) because his books displayed an in-depth understanding of their work.So I read The Hunt for Red October, which was fairly satisfyi...

Tom Clancy Full Force and Effect (2014)

This is a novel about the U.S. and North Korea and the story is surprisingly current in light of the "The Interview" movie controversy. As usual there is little character development, but this failing is compensated in part by the large number of characters making up the dramatis personae. The pr...

Tom Clancy's Full Force and Effect (2014)

Full Force and Effect, reminds me of vintage Clancy. There are hints of the same command of detail and relentless pacing that we were treated to in Clear and Present Danger. Tom Clancy may have left his mortal body in 2013, but the soul of Clancy the epic storyteller lives on in Mark Greaney. But...
