In retrospect, it would seem an odd way to start a war. Only one of the participants knew what was really happening, and even that was a coincidence.So commences this high-grade piece of conspiracy hokum. Doubtless I have shredded what little credibility I have as literary critic but one thing you have to say about Tom Clancy - boy can he do plot. Never mind the deficiencies in characterisation, blah, blah blah, feel the width of the plot.
This novel also (spoiler alert) anticipated the mode of most infamous terrorist outrage by eight years.
So, thus far we have had two books for children and an airport pot-boiler. Tomorrow I will try to redeem myself.
