Agree completely that Without Remorse was the best or tied-for-the-best Clancy. So strange though. Clancy suggests in Red October that Christopher Reed is the only choice for Ryan, yet Hollywood continues 1) to come up with utter losers in the role (including Harrison Ford!) and then 2) to cartoonize them (remember Alec Baldwin?). And William Dafoe as John Clark? Please.
Red Storm Rising was my favorite Clancy novel: Oh for the days when America had great purpose and was on the right side
