Tom Clancy

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1995

Couldn't put it down
Debt of Honor is the next book in the Jack Ryan series, after The Sum of All Fears, and it was so much better. The book has a faster pace and the suspense builds up nicely from the beginning. The book is pretty long, more than 900 pages, but the story moves along ...

Rainbow Six

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1999

A little far-fetched, yet the action is so dramatic that you don't notice
John Clark, ex-Navy Seal and now a covert operative with a past that is best forgotten, is the commander of a newly formed elite international anti-terrorism group known as the Rainbow Team. As he takes his new assignment, the action begins faster than he could ...

Patriot Games (Jack Ryan)

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1988

Still my favorite Clancy novel
This is still my favorite Clancy book ever. It's the most personal Jack Ryan story and is very, very emotional (and thus very gripping) for that reason. The only time I've ever cheered at a novel was while reading this! This book has much less technical and military ...

Executive Orders (Jack Ryan)

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1997

Plot development is eerily similar to current events..
This book is book two of a trilogy, with Debt of Honor being book one and The Bear And The Dragon being book three, so a lot of background events will be missed and the reader will be a bit confused if this book is read without reading Debt of Honor. That said, I am a ...

Red Storm Rising

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1987

The best World War III book ever!
I read this book in the early 1990s. Since then I have re-read it several times. Simply the best World War III depiction of the 80s and 90s. A great read even today, even if the Cold War is long over. The introduction hardly lasts 70 pages, and then its unfettered war, ...

Without Remorse

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1994

Great Tom Clancy Backstory for Great Characters
One of my favorites heroes, besides Jack Ryan, in Tom Clancy's books is John Clark. He is a dark figure with a mysterious past. He's a man admired for his action and his word. He works in black ops but has his own moral code. Clark is a man of action. This ...

The Cardinal of the Kremlin

Tom Clancy

Berkley Books, 1989

Cardinal of the Kremlin
I had read this book previously, but wanted to read it again. Clancey's books are just too good to read only once.

The Bear and the Dragon (Jack Ryan)

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 2001

The Typos Detracted From The Story!
A reel disappointment. Four a book to bee enjoyed it helps if it does knot contain sew many speling and typograffikle errurz. I usually enjoy TC's books---but this one was indeed a disappointment. Decent story, but the typos and errors became tedious. Halfway ...

The Sum of All Fears

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 2002

Excellent story, overly complicated technology
The movie with the same does not follow Clancy's original plot however the movie is also worth seeing. The Sum of All Fears is one of Clancy's best stories. A plot based on the loss of a tactical nuclear bomb, an event that could occur in the fog of war. A somewhat ...

The Hunt for Red October (Jack Ryan)

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1992

Truly a Great Wrok from a Great Writer
A rare look at the first major novel written by one of the greatest writers of all time. Truly worth the money and you certainly will not be able to put it down once you begin this masterpiece.

Clear and Present Danger (Jack Ryan)

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 1990

Clear and Present Excitement
In Clear and Present Danger, we get an insiders look at the danger of acting against national security threats outside the traditional channels of military use. We also get a sense of the danger of inaction against such dangerous targets. In this case, the danger is ...

The Archimedes Effect: Net Force 10 (Net Force)

Steve Perry, Larry Segriff

Berkley, 2006

He's Back
I surely hope this is a sign that the good writings are back. This book was great not to much dronning on and on about sword fighting. Easy to follow and a true joy to read, it was hard to put down.

Hidden Agendas (Tom Clancy's Net Force, No. 2)

Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik

Berkley, 1999

Almost a companion book to Net Force 1
This book is as great as the first one. The outline story is much more weaker but the personal stories of all characters (Alex, Toni, Tyrone) finish in this book (althrough they continue in next books:-)). If you (again) don't expect Clancy-class story, you've got ...

Red Rabbit (Jack Ryan)

Tom Clancy

Berkley, 2003

My least favorite Jack Ryan
This is one of the earlier books in the Jack Ryan enterprise. It starts off pretty slow and does not really take off like many of the others. Jack and Cathy Ryan have just moved to London with Sally and Jack Jr. The Foleys, Ed, Pat and Little Ed, have just started in ...

Special Forces: A Guided Tour of U.S. Army Special Forces

Tom Clancy, John Gresham

Berkley Trade, 2001

Beyond the Beret: Clancy's book dispels myths about SF....
Special Forces, the seventh and final entry in Tom Clancy's nonfiction Guided Tour series about America's armed forces, sets its sights on the shadowy -- and often misunderstood -- roles and missions of the men the author calls "the quiet professionals" of the Army's ...
