This was first novel of TOM CLANCY I read. The plot was not much interesting, there were fair no. of classic turns, some obvious and one nuisance turn was also present. On the whole it is an okay book for one time read. There are many better out there as you can only read a few in a life time.
The writing is a big disappointment. I think Tom Clancy provided the basic plot and the co-author wrote the details. The plot is interesting but not the writing. The writing is amateurish and not mature and detailed like Clancy describes. Didn't even finish the novel. Too much Americanism in the writings. Thanks to Clancy for the plot but thumbs down for the writing.
