Debt of Honor: Jack Ryan becomes President
Executive Orders: President Jack Ryan vs the United Islamic Republic

So will anyone ever have the guts to do this Clancy movie? They can combine the end of Debt of Honor into the beginning of Executive Orders.

While I liked both books, I don't really think they're film-worthy.

Honestly, I'd just like to see a non-bastardized version of Sum of All Fears.

You'll never see that. You know it's not politically correct so show Islamic terrorists in a movie. That's why they turned the terrorists into Nazis in the Affleck movie.

But. The commentary on that DVD is hilarious. You have a drunk Clancy pointing out every single thing the director fracked up while the director is sitting there speachless. :lol

I know. But what pisses me off is that the FREAKING BOOK ISN'T ANTI-ISLAM!

If someone had have had the brains to figure that out, they could have done the book justice.

:lol What?! I think I might have to have a peek at the DVD then :lol

I'd like to say they're his two shittiest books, but Without Remorse says hi. I hope neither gets made into a movie simply because they suck and the movie would be, inevitably, horrible.


So bad, so incredibly stupid. I reread "Red Storm Rising" for the 50th time a couple of months ago, it's a great book that looks even better now that Clancy has been shitting out more and more self-indulgent tripe for a decade now.

Between his pitiful decline and Larry Bond's weak output his last half dozen novels I've started to pray that the Soviet Union reforms and walls up their half of Berlin again.

may i suggest some howard coyle?

specifically Team Yankee?

I have Team Yankee and I know I've read it, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's about at all beyond it being similar to "Red Storm Rising" in that it's about a hot war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Either that means I should re-read it or else it means I completely put it out of my mind for a reason. I remember Coyle's "Sword Point" better and I really liked "The Ten Thousand" even if it was a pretty goofy premise but I never thought it compared to my favourite techno-thrillers (I have Larry Bond at the very top with early Clancy a half step behind).
