Mr. Clancy is a novelist.

Correction: Mr. Clancy was a novelist, until he released The Bear and the Dragon, the most hilariously ignorant waste of paper I've ever had the pleasure of chucking in the trash.

[Mr.Clark]

Right on man. That book was horrible. But he has written classics, like my character!

While I agree w/ Mr. Clancy's assessment of today's CIA, and enjoy reading his novels, I have to agree w/ your opinion of Bear & Dragon. Definitely not his best work.
