I dunno, Clancy's last two have been absolute pieces of crap, particularly his latest, The Teeth of the Tiger.
FWIW, I heard that Clancy went through a nasty divorce some years ago. The divorce judge decided that the Jack Ryan character was property subject to division, and awarded half of any Jack Ryan proceeds to his ex-wife. If Clancy's writing has gone downhill, I'd suspect that the divorce decree effectively forcing him to abandon his main character has something to do with it.
