your books make me feel like throwing it in fire...

no..

Yes, but IMO only "The Hunt for Red October" is any good.
Don't like how you've franchised out the name brand to ghostwriters either, sellout.

Your books a little boring leh. Always simi conspiracy theories, spies, snipers, terrorists etc. Can add some adult content?
Obersturmfuhrer
Any book that dun have Op-centre or Net force in the title is fine. When is Hollywood releasing "Without Remorse"?

Your books are racist leh. How come in Bear and the Dragon the Chinese can't seem to kill a single American? Same in Debt of Honour. Are you saying we Asians are so lousy we can't even whack one of your people unlike the Somalians and Iraqis?

His books are biased towards the Americans but it is good reading because of his detailed writings and ability to string together a whole chockful of details of weapons and terminology in one novel.
the Bear
actually, they bore the heck outta me...
it's like Clancy's saying: look!! i know so much about military stuff!! i'll try to fit as much of it as possible into a "plot"
tried reading a few.. usually gave up in the middle..

Richard Marcinko writes better...

i thinks the games based on your books sells better than the books itself.

Sollie, Mr. Clancy, I dun read your books.
In fact, I only read non-fiction. But I watch the movies!

Have read Rainbow 6, Red Storm rising,cardinal of kremlim, Hunt for red october, clear and present danger, Executive Order, Debt of honour, Patriot Game, Without Remorse, Bear and Dragon and Red rabbit,The Sum of All Fears ,SSN..... and Net force Explorer series and op center(a better read than net force)
Most of the book is long. Generally full of detail but the most captivating portion are rather in the front part and end part of the book.... the middle is rather dry... u have to go through them..... The lines spoken are not generally witty... guess it is the length of the book and culture of ours.... I think if u like details.... the book is for you
Very pro american, especially in Bear and Dragon... sometimes u just wonder how the chinese beat the american in Korean War? And how it is possible to hold ground with 1 American Division and roughly 4 Russian Guard Rifle Motor Division against almost 20 over Chinese Division( 5 tank armies)... okay maybe Iraq war show us otherwise
Best read is still Red storm Rising...... I think the plot has twist( even though the reason for starting of the war is rather dubious) and made good read.
