Though it is difficult not to compare Greaney’s novels to original Clancy works, he has done a surprisingly good job of reinvigorating the franchise. They hit on many of the Clancy trademarks: thrilling writing, plot twists, espionage, and some good old fashioned butt kicking.
That said, this is not Tom Clancy’s work, Tom had not written a single book in a decade before he died. This is a franchise book, albeit a good one. Mark Greaney is a talented writer, which he showed in his work in the prior “Clancy” novel Support and Defend. Greaney keeps the trend going with this book, evoking the Clancy style and keeping the franchise alive.
In this novel, the plot revolves around a North Korean ICBM which crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Vietnam, and a package of forged documents goes missing, a puzzle which Jack Ryan, both Sr. and Jr., needs to unwind. In this story, North Korea is headed by a young, untested dictator who is determined to prove his strength, and who like his father before him, hangs his plans on the country’s nuclear ambitions. Fiction? In the novel, the dictator, who previously has been hampered by a lack of resources which resulted in the present stalemate of power, has now found valuable mineral resources in his own country which might irreparably change the balance of power. President Ryan calls on all of his resources to avoid this power change, which might give the unstable protagonist nation access to arms which would threaten the USA. Very much the plot of any classic Clancy novel.
The writing is tight and well paced, even with an over 600 page book. Btw, the phrase “full force and effect”?
I like the book. I won’t spoil on it. I have everything Clancy ever published as well as all of the Greaney / Clancy books. Greaney is no Clancy. But the Campus characters from the last Clancy books live on in the Greaney books and that’s why I buy them. I’m ex-military and I keep up. It was always obvious Clancy knew his facts about the military. Although Clancy made a couple of subtle errors in his books, Greaney had me scratching my head a few times while reading this book alone. Not identifying the class of ship the Navy uses as it’s primary platform in this book, or it’s unique configuration and suitability for its mission, is a Greaney thing. Clancy wouldn’t have done that. You’d have known all about the U.S.S. Freedom. SEALs carrying M4A1 SOPMODs in one op and HK416s in their next (similar) op didn’t make sense to me. And using C-141s to transport anything these days just wouldn’t happen. The last C-141 was retired in 2006.
There is plenty of the now-standard jumping around from location to location, but I detected an increased propensity for sequencing that wasn’t linear. By that I mean that an action sequence would be described from one perspective, but the other perspective would not be interspersed during the sequence. Generally speaking it’s easier, in my opinion, to follow these sequences when both perspectives are interspersed. You know…A did this, B did this, A did this, B reacted this way, and so on. In Full Force sequences are described both ways, so you’ll know what all of this means if you read this review before the book.
A bigger problem for me was that many of the conversations and supporting plot points were glossed over, abbreviated, implied, or just left to imagination.
