Typical Clancy! Great plot especially with what the world has seen in the last 2+ years! Loved the ending to the story and the book! If you haven't read it and you like Clancy well, it's a must read then. (

It's a long time since I read a Clancy and whilst this was enjoyable enough I was slightly put off by the repetitive descriptions of characters and events. However, decent poolside read this summer that kept me going for a while. (

Epigraph

There are no compacts between lions and men, and wolves and lambs have no concord. -Homer

Dedication

For Alexandra Maria lux mea mundi

First words

John Clark had more time in airplanes than most licensed pilots, and he knew the statistics as well as any of them, but he still didn't like the idea of crossing the ocean on a twin-engine airliner.
