Yep, Executive Orders, 1996 a great read.
Clancy was an excellent writer, became super wealthy, fat and lazy.
I have everyone of his original, hard cover books but stopped buying them after his 2003 turd, named "The Teeth of The Tiger".
Clancy's best novels were 800-1,000 pages, well written, well researched {military technology} with multiple plots and sub plots.
His last really excellent book was "The Bear and the Dragon" written in 2000, after that, his books became sloppy and bad reading.
I have stopped reading his latest junk.
Actually I think it was Debt of Honor.
IMO one of Clancy’s best. At the time Clinton was in a trade war w/ Japan and the book was very timely.
The sequel Executive Orders sucked. A yawner. That’s my opinion anyway.
Clancy’s books now are written by who knows and I guess he puts his name on the cover and collects a royalty. I don’t touch them.
Vince Flynn is Da Man.
I believe I started Bear and the Dragon, but I never finished it. I ended up skipping large chunks of Executive Orders since it was a fictitious second Gulf War (I read it after OIF had already happened) and the description of the Ebola harvesting was constant. I swear he was getting paid by the word in that one. Debt of Honor and Rainbow Six were great, though.
