Great reading. Kind of confusing at the beginning, other than that it is a great book.

Un-huh -the Green movement attempts to wipe out the human race to save the world. Riiigghhhhttt...
What ever happenned to those splendid stories Clancy used to write about? You know, stealing the Soviet Union's newest strategic missile sub, or IRA terrorist attacks against the British royal family, or the Iranians trying to create their own superpower in the Gulf? This wasn't a thriller, it was a political propaganda piece. The Greens may be a huge pain in the butt to us, but using them as terrorists was totally ridiculous. Probably an attempt to emulate the James Bond movie franchise. If so, it failed dismally.
The scenes with old Marxist terrorist groups were pretty good, but they got too predictable after the first hundred pages or so. This book was totally unrealistic, gets boring too quickly, and way too much of it is simply political statements attempting to show why every political party in disagreement with the Great Right Wing (in this case, the Greens) is automatically an inhuman servant of evil.
Highly unrecommended.

This book is by far the best book i have ever read. The storyline is excellent and the action is intense. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Tom Clancy.

Wonderful...the way he writes...and what's all that talk about not "expanding characters?" That's lubricious!
