Just suspend your rationality for the duration. (  )BookMarkMe | May 30, 2009 |   This plot line stretches the imagination, but it is captivating nonetheless. If you are a Clancy fan, you will love this novel. (  )santhony | Oct 2, 2008 | An eeriely accurate look at what could have happened instead of what happened on 9/11. A very good and compelling read. (  )Palunboy | Jun 26, 2008 | See The Hunt for Red October. (  )TadAD | Jun 21, 2008 |  Can I give a book 100 stars instead of 5? This is my all-time favorite book although I must admit that I now (having read it about 10 times) prefer the audiobook abridged version -- it takes some of the excess military details out. Readers should not start with this book if they are interested in reading Clancy's Jack Ryan series. They should start with "Hunt for Red October" and move forward. The development of Ryan's character throughout the series is brilliant. ( )Lwyrbabe | Apr 20, 2008 | 0.067 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0425158632, Mass Market Paperback)Tom Clancy goes to the White House in this thriller of political terror and global disaster. The American political situation takes a disturbing turn as the President, Congress, and Supreme Court are obliterated when a Japanese terrorist lands a 747 on the Capitol. Meanwhile the Iranians are unleashing an Ebola virus threat on the country. Jack Ryan, CIA agent, is cast in the middle of this maelstrom. Because of a recent sex scandal, Ryan was appointed vice president, a slot he doesn't hold for long when he lands in the Chief Executive's chair. He goes after the Iranians and then tries to piece together the country and his life the only way he knows how--with a fury that we've grown accustomed to in Clancy's intricate, detailed, and accurate stories of warfare and intrigue.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:05 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
