Executive Orders - Tom Clancy Reviews

It’s not often I choose a book purely for reasons of size, but knowing I would be away for a week over Christmas and not wanting to pack too much, being already laden down with Christmas presents, that’s precisely what I did. I figured that I might have a bit of time to read and knowing that I do read quite quickly, I figured that at more than ...

This is the first Tom Clancy novel I've read. My dad read them in order and I've seen the three films based on the books, Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger and so knew the basic background to John Patrick Ryan, the lead character, before I picked up this volume. Although I felt that this was a help as I read ...

This book is absolutely the last book I will ever read by Tom Clancy about Jack Ryan.I must point out that in the beginning I enjoyed reading Ryan's Cold War endeavours but now that he has become the goddamn President of the US the disbelief which I am all too ready to shelve has finally revolted against my authoritarian rule and is making ...

This is currently the second last one of the Jack Ryan series that Clancy continues with, the first one being "The Hunt for Red October". Typical Clancy writing style prevails in that his description of events and the settings of scenes are impeccable. He is a master of techno trhillers! As usual with a Clancy book, ...

This is the book just before his latest release, The Bear and the Dragon so unless you have read that it would be a good idea to start from the beginning with Red Storm Rising about the start of John Ryan’s career as a middle ranked CIA intelligence officer. Although theres about eight so far in that series they are still all great reads ...

Tom Clancy had a lot of great books prior to Executive Orders. Any of his previous books such as Patriot Games, The Sum of All Fears and Clear and Present Danger were great. But Executive Orders was EXCELLENT. Through the most devastating terrorist act, Ryan becomes President of the United States. What he does not know is that the Iranian ...

For those of you who have never read a Tom Clancy novel, now is the time to start. The thing I appreciate about Clancy is that he doesn't try to pull off some great literary feat - he just focusses on writing a good story. For those of you familiar with Clancy this is a great continuation of the Jack Ryan Saga. You know what you expect and ...

Okay, first of all, I want to mention that I have nothing against Tom Clancy. He is a great author, and write's amazing books....but, this book was a little different. It starts off great! The capital building is demolished by a plane crash, and the president dies, and tons more. But then the technical part of Tom Clancy emerged. For ...

Well as I finished Debt of Honour, I thought "Well the next one can't be any where near as good as this one". I was wrong. After the destruction of the U.S. government, Jack Ryan is the sole leader of the country. Now he must face enemies, foriegn and domestic. What I loved most about this book is how Clancy lets you into the head of ...
