Re: Reading Request.

I tried reading a Clancy Novel once. After three pages debvoted to the 
loving description of the design of a spark plug I gave up. I picked up
a 
Clancy future war set of short stories in Jamiaca (not on sale in
Britain). 
They claimed to show future war. China attacks the USA - how you ask, by

exploiting its massive infantry advantage in a battle in natural
infantry 
terrain. Nope - by building ultra high tech space warfare devices which
are 
countered by a battle station designed by an individual using "off the 
shelf systems". yep, get your anti-ballistic missile laser systems from 
Tandy. To be fair it was a good fun SF story but the premise as a real 
scenario - hmm...
