The book was so well thought out

Several times in this book Clancy uses the Spanish word “mano” and his usage is totally incorrect. Example: “Hope you like to run, ’mano.” Clancy thinks the Spanish word “mano” means the English word “man”, when “mano” actually means “hand”. That mistake detracts from the reading enjoyment. Thus he is saying “Hope you like to run, hand.”

Great read

Clancy’s story about a clandestine operation in Columbia aimed at the drug cartels of the 1980’s + 1990’s is full of twists, turns and betrayals. The writing is replete with military hardware details and typical Clancy “inside” information. There are many characters and side stories that can be confusing, but it all comes together in the end. I recommend this book to Clancy fans. It’s not his best, but it’s one of his top 5 or 6.

This book was awesome. Loved it.

I always enjoy Tom Clancy novels, although I've always avoided reading books after seeing the movie. Well, I changed up and read "Clear and Present Danger" and I'm very glad I did! Much better than the movie, (aren't they always) the book was a much better story than the movie. Terrific read.
