If I had to pick one Clancy book to have with me on a desert island, this would be it. It also explains so much about Jack Ryan it is a must read. It is one if those books that addresses "revenge" vigilante sitations in which the perfectly trained navy seal avenges the death of a young woman by quietly killing off those responsible for the kidnapping and murder of her and her freinds. It just makes you want to stand up and cheer even though you know in your heart what is happening is illegal. Of course in a real world our hero would have to pay for the right (opps I mean wrong) that he did. But a deal is swung and...well you'll have to read the book for the ending. It is worth the time.
