Perhaps Clancy forgot you left the empire in the 1770's!

That was how I felt on SSN too.
RSR is at least well written, even if the Chicago mission is a killfest. But keep in mind that Clancy had to do with publicized data about soviet subs. SSN (the novel) is simply boring. Funny is in the novel Cheyenne killed everybody, and in the game I always got killed SSN (the game) had one mistake.. It was a helmsman's sim, you had to lay rudder and dive planes and maneuvering the sub really took some skill. I never got to periscope depth without broaching All that stuff is something no sub skipper has to bother about, he simply orders the helmsmen to do that.

I'd like to know if anybody has read both SSN and Teeth of the Tiger...
Which one was worst? |

Clearly SSN. Teeth of the Tiger was actually an improvement compared with Red Rabbit which really took some effort to read all the way through without falling asleep every two minutes. Red Rabbit was his cheapest shot in my eyes.
Still he did good with RSR and the Jack Ryan universe, surely wouldn't be up for a Nobel prize in literature, but I have read those books more then once each (with the sole exception of Red Rabbit - Once was more then enough). |
