I have to admit his later books lack something, especially since he
wiped 
out the American government to make Jack Ryan king of the world, may he 
should learn to put his characters out to pasture :)

There was also a glaring error/problem in error in "Rainbow Six" when
after 
the baddie was foiled and the world saved at the Sydney Olympic Games, 
Clancy spirited the characters back to the US via a domestic Australian 
flight from Sydney to Alice Springs and then via a US Military flight
out 
of Australia. One there isn't a direst flight from Sydney to Alice
Springs, 
ok it's just a story but Clancy has made his rep on attention to detail
so 
this was a detail that could have be cleared up via a phone call or a
surf 
on the net and let's not mention the heros going armed on the domestic 
flight, kidnapping a person to bring before the US Justice System while 
they are members of a INTERNATIONAL anti-terrorist force ... yeah right
;)
