| I normally don't read fiction. But a few years ago
I heard Rush Limbaugh going on and on about a new book
from Tom Clancy called Debt of Honor. Figuring
that if Rush likes it, it must be good, I read it. It was
excellent. Clancy's hero, Jack Ryan, is back -- picking up where he left off after Debt of Honor. As a reluctant successor to the presidency of the United States, Ryan finds himself simultaneously facing a war in the middle east, a biological weapons attack on the United States, a terrorist kidnapping attempt on his daughter, an internal Secret Service plot on his life, and two gun-totin' KKK crazoids with a cement truck full of fertilizer and diesel fuel. All of these plots come together in the final 400 pages of this 874-page boat anchor of a novel. With the exception of 50 or so pages of battle-by-battle descriptions of Gulf War II, the book is hard to put down. |
