Have you ever read Tom Clancy's SSN? What a pile of tripe. The infallible USS Cheyenne, I fell asleep after chapter 2.[/quote]
Sorry, I had to come back to this discussion, it is so funny now.
Yes, about this book, I thought I beginning to be crazy. It was unbelievable how infallible this sub was. Honestly, I cannot understand that Clancy did not see by himself when writing the novel that a book lacking total suspense cannot be read till the end. I was myself falling asleep.
About the other books, I think Clancy was quite good at the beginning, but after “The sum of all the fears”, the quality went downward. Take the “Bear and the Dragon”, I counted that while the Russians and the Chinese were losing thousands of men on the battlefield during combats in Siberia, the American, which I recall, had quite a lot of troops on the same ground and were also engaged in combats, lost a jeep with two or three men for all the action. That’s Clancy logic. :rotfl:
