Thanks, just happen to have a copy on my bookshelf, given to me. Just haven't had the time to get around to it yet.

Maybe now is the time... my copy is "The Bear and the Dragon, though.

Yep. that's the one. I've never been known to reverse things like that before. Maybe I'm lexicdisc.

Have you read Debt of Honor and Executive Orders? If not you should read them first, and read them back to back, as one REALLY BIG book. The last page of Debt has Jack Ryan standing at a window looking on an event. Page one of Orders has him still at that window, contemplating the universe. The situation in Dragon won't make sense without reading those two first, though it stands on it's own as a story. Rainbow Six also has some background that helps for Bear/Dragon, but it's explained as much as need be if you don't want to read that first.

I've also finished Red Rabbit (prequel) and the beginning of the Jack Ryan Jr. stories, Teeth of the Tiger. Dissapointed in both.
