Either this was not one of Clancy's better books or my tastes have changed since I started reading his books. (

Not an easy read, gave up early

Didn't make it past pg 50 on this one. Haven't read a Clancy in over a decade and decided to re-visit a fave author from my teens. Either my memory made his works better or this one is a far cry from the old ones but sheez!!! So much explaining! And not so much in the "this is how a nuclear bomb works" way but in a "let's review this beloved cast of characters in painful, awkward detail right away rather than just letting the reader get to know them as the story progresses" kind of way. No fun.
