This was my first Tom Clancy book. I had played the computer game when it first came out, so I was roughly familiar with the characters and premise. I also picked this book up in Apple Books for $1.99, so I dove in.

I was not a huge fan of the cutscenes approach to this story. There were a myriad of characters and, given the length of the book, I struggled to keep track of who everyone is.

That said, it was a great adventure story, and the further I got in, the faster I read. I wasn’t disappointed in the conclusion, or the satisfaction of reading a book of this length. I just might need some time to build up the stamina needed to read another Clancy novel.
