Pickpick

(1989) The 4th volume in Clancy's series of thrillers featuring intelligence analyst Jack Ryan has Ryan responding to a covert military operation gone sour, targeting drug production in Colombia. I haven't been a fan of this series but it's growing on me: it's turning into a sort of technothrillers where the "techno" is US political machinery (plus enough peril to keep the ship moving). Flaws, yes, but interesting, and this is my favorite so far

(1987) Testosteroney, sometimes ridiculously so, and starry-eyed about royalty. But it promises thrills and then delivers them. If this is the kind of thing you like then you'll like it pretty well. On balance, I liked it better than expected.

(1984) I tried this once years ago and bounced off. I remember hearing Clancy's work described as "thrillers for people who find 'Jane's Fighting Ships' thrilling," and that matched my experience. But this time I pushed, let the jargon slide by, and ... It wasn't bad. There's a submarine duel near the end that was thrilling even for this guy who likes "Jane's" only for pretty pictures. Still not my thing but this time I get its appeal

Leftcoastzen Think it might have been the only novel originally published by Naval Institute Press . 1y
swynn I think it was the first but that there have been others. Stephen Coonts's "Flight of the Intruder" was another. Pretty impressive choices, even if only from a business standpoint. 1y

I just found out that my co host doesn't like Harrison Ford. Very disturbed by this.

@thespineview's #twofortuesday

1. Fast-paced or slow-burn?

It really depends on the shifting sands of the reading moods I'm caught up in at the moment (I do like caper romps), but I'm usually too slow and scattered of a reader for it to really matter if the plot takes me along or not. Crime and Punishment and Lord of the Rings were both slow-burns, but I'm grateful I stuck with them, appreciating the final sections of both.

2. Solid plot tagged

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 🤩📖📚 3y
