From: "G. D. Akin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'll say again, the story is slow and ponderous, perhaps in an attempt to build suspense, but, instead, it builds boredom. The plot is contrived and the conclusion, while screaming loudly and clearly "sequel", is empty and unsatisfying.
This is Clancy's least enjoyable novel. IMO, of course
Do you think that Clancy's novels have lost their "edge"? Or that Clancy has spread himself too thin over time? The man is a franchise now, mostly. I with your perception...
