Consequently, the submarine could cross into American waters without anyone knowing. Once in US territory, the submarine could launch a nuclear strike against America without any warning. The commander of the submarine wants to defenct to the United States because he is angry with the Russian government over the death of his wife. In the novel, Clancy introduces us to his famous fictional character Jack Ryan.
Ryan immediately recognizes the strategic importance of capturing this Soviet submarine and convinces the US military to offer the commander and his crew asylum. Quickly, the Soviets learn of the US involvement and send their military to intercept the submarine.
As the plot thickens, Ryan must protect the submarine to prevent the US from being attacked. With suspense on every page, readers will be unable to put down this book. This novel is one of only three stand alone books written by Clancy. In the US, this act of aggression against a vital asset is seen as an act of war. The novel tells the story of increasing tensions between the US and the Soviet Union with only one being able to emerge victorious. Clancy did a masterful job of writing a novel that was plausible and containing historical facts that made the book relevant to his readers.

No matter which Clancy novel is being read, you will be swept into a world of suspense, terror, and intrigue that continues on every page. He will be missed. I am presently finishing the Dismas Hardy series by John Lescroart. To me Lescroart is the best author to truly enhance the conversations between characters. The back and forth banter between Hardy and his best friend, Abe Glitsky sometimes has me laughing out loud. The books are charming. Have 5 more novels to go.
I have just recently have gotten into the Jack Ryan and Jack Ryan Jr books without any direction of purpose, and have enjoyed everyone immensely. Now, I want to get serious, and follow both characters in the order they were written.
I wish I had started earlier in my life. They are shorter series, but I have enjoyed every series, Will Robbie being my favorite. I have recently acquired the Jason Bourne series of books and have been looking forward to reading them until you said you only read the first three novel written by Ludlum himself.
There are quite a few Jason Bourne novels available. If so many of them continue to be written, I figure somebody must be reading them and enjoying them, but, now, my enthusiasm for these books is not very strong, thank you very much. However, the most damning part of his personal crusade against the Christian Faith, was when he took us unknowingly into his personal tirade against the origins of the Christian Faith.
He led us into this 14 minute epilogue like the pied piper leading children where ever he pleases. He converted from his Catholic upbringing to the Jewish Faith. That was his personal decision, but he had no right to lead his fans into the mess in his mind without warning. He caught me completely off guard. At least, he should have led this epilogue with a specific disclaimer. I will miss Gabriel, but perhaps one day I may pick up one his novels about this character, although I doubt it.
There are too many other good authors I am reading. As I mentioned, at my age, I have a lot of ground to cover. I feel the comments I wrote were cordial, balanced and fair. I did mention Daniel Silva again as I did after finishing reading, The Order, an entertaining fictional story. Do you want sincere comments or do you only accept politically correct comments? I feel I was polite, but giving an honest and meaningful opinion. None of them are perfect people, and yes, I guess an argument can be made for Mr.
However, his epilogue was like a lecture not fiction to his readers, refuting the origins of the Christian Faith. This is where he crossed the line. If you are a believing Christian, this was a sin against The Holy Spirit. Evil, personified.
