asimplechordReading Tom Clancy's Dead or Alive.
I remember now why I stopped reading his books. Because his female characters are one-dimensional, either mother/saints or whores.
And his personal politics shine through in his protagonists.
Also, there must have been some weird time-warp or something for Jack Ryan Jr to be an adult, given the amount of time accounted for since Executive Orders.
Finally, the Emir = Osama bin Laden casting? Lame. Either say you're writing about bin Laden or make up an actual fictional antagonist.
On the positive side, the cranberry muffins I made this morning turned out to be delicious. And Sasha's tires are rotated and oil changed for free, per Toyota's maintenance agreement.
