In which an incredibly silly plot by a group of Environmental Extremists is put down by a super-team of anti-terror special forces. Clancy was quite clearly losing his grip on reality by the time he wrote this. The villains are so over-the-top as to be ridiculous and the lantern jawed heroes (all very clearly conservative family men) are just too unstoppable that the whole exercise is daft. Clancy also seems to think that British and Australians all talk like Biggles and that an outsider cannot distinguish between British and Irish accents. Oh, and he's clearly never seen a marathon either. Is it a good book? Not by any means. Did I enjoy it? Yes, quite a lot :) Rated MA for violence and coarse language. 3/5
