Summary: The Bestselling Author of Hunt For Red October Does It Again
Comment: The book, Clear And Present Danger, by Tom Clancy is quite possibly the greatest book I've ever read. This book is about the adventures of Staff Seargent Ding Chavez as he accompanies a team of light infantry men on a covert operation to sting the drug Cartel of South America. A secret agent named John Clark is the information specialist who provides the team with targets. The modern day U.S. government sees the drug Cartel as "clear and present danger" to the security of the United States. Throughout this action-packed book there are many exciting and unexpected happenings that leave the reader on the edge of their seat.
Tom Clancy had to spend years creating this truly fascinating, yet adventurous book; it would have been impossible not to. It would be a grave mistake not to read this book. If you make that mistake, I'm sorry. If I were you, I would by this book right now, on Amazon.com.

Summary: Solid Action/Adventure Story about the War on Drugs
Comment: This book is perhaps my favorite after the Hunt for Red October. It involves the President declaring an unofficial war on the drug dealers on Central America. He sends in a covert military force to find drug lords and their operations and destroy them. This leads to some very well written combat scenes, as well as an excellent picture of the covert forces that our military has. This book introduces Ding Chavez, a later friend and close co-worker of Mr. Clark, who is also featured prominently in this story. Of particular interest in this novel is the meeting between Jack Ryan and Mr. Clark. Very well written.
As to the movie that bears this name, this book is infinitely better and much much different. There isn't any attempt at political correctness or saying that the President has exceeded his authority in starting the war. He didn't, and the book explains the powers of the President very well. Also, the movie took out two of the best sequences in the book and one of its most memorable characters. The Coast Guard vessel captained by Red Weggner. In the movie, there are two drug runners arrested in the Gulf of Mexico by a Coast Guard ship. But in the book, this scene is expanded and includes a mock trial and faked execution of one of the drug runners in order to get the other one to talk. It's fantastic reading. And then, at the end of the novel, Red Weggner and his boys return to rescue Jack Ryan and company in the middle of a hurricane. They totally ignored this ending, going for the politically correct ending instead, which was a huge disappointment (Tom Clancy himself was very upset by this and vowed that no one would be allowed to make any books of his into movies again).
If you want to know the real story, read this book. Run as fast as you can away from that movie that poses as a Jack Ryan story. It's not. This book is.

Summary: Clancy Always Asks ... What If?
Comment: What if... the President decided to get serious about the war on drugs? What if he used the military as not only to stop the transport, but also stop the manufacture of drugs?
In this tale, three soldiers do battle. Mr. Clark is the CIA operative who provides intelligence for the military action. Domingo Chavez is a warrior; an infantryman sent under orders to do battle - and ultimately abandoned. Jack Ryan is the new CIA deputy director who figures it all out - and won't abandon faithful soldiers even if it means his life.
