Wooo! That's a heck of a comparison, and a heck of a compliment. Having read all of Clancy's stuff (well, the "Jack Ryan" fiction, anyways), I guess I'd better take a look at this. Congratulations!
I'd write a book if only I could figure out what to write about that I'm a subject matter expert in that would also be interesting to someone else...
So, so much for that idea. ;-)
