Would recommend this book.
I’m working on reading it now, but because I can’t take the time to read it all at once, I tend to get confused and have to refer back to what I have already read…L hope to finish it soon!
I have been a Tom Clancy fan since I bought “Hunt For Red October” from the Naval Academy Press, when it was first released. I’ve been following Jack Ryan and Clancy’s other characters, ever since.
Clear and Present Danger is a damn good read. Lots of action, twists, turns, and surprises to please anyone who enjoys the genre. Introducing John Clark and Domingo Chavez to the list of Clancy heroes sets us up for future exploits of all three of these eminently believable characters.
The political intrigue that is pervasive in this novel is also intense. Watching Jack handle all the challenges he is faced with, continues to build Jack’s reputation and demonstrate his amazing capabilities.
Don’t rely on the movie for your Clancy “fix.” While the movie is good and does what it can to keep close to the book, as you might suspect, there is much more to enjoy in reading the whole story. You won’t regret the time spent.
