    First off, I highly doubt Clancy put any major input into this one. The book contains some rather boring and drawn out sequences but it's balanced by great action. It was nice to see the return of the classic alliances, organizations and characters. All in all, this book was decent. If you have a few dollars to spare: Get it.

    hard to put down when you start this great story. Clancy delivers again.

    I have read three of the latest Clancy books co-authored by Mark Greaney. I liked the other two, Full Force and Threat Vector much better than this one. The failure of Command Authority is that a lot of the Book seemed like a history text. Not enough action. And I think it had a very complex, forced plot. I had to force myself to read large portions of this book. That is not my idea of a great and enjoyable novel. Read the other two. They are great.

    As usual a great read and very apropos to the day’s headlines. I highly recommend this for the action, the insight and the continuing saga of J.R., Junior along with the continued saga of J.R., Senior

  • Well done

    Have read them all but this one is right up there. Not the best but certainly worth the read. Very different approach weaving the past into the present with Dad and son interacting.

  • Fantastic !

    Another excellent Clancy book. Not as engrossing as earlier works but, still quite good. The bouncing back forth 30 years takes away some suspense, action and story line . Worth the read.

    Slow, unnecessary flashbacks and a sense of two very good writers not being able to pull together...made for a long read! Greaney can write a strong action packed book; and Clancy was very good at one time. But, perhaps conditions existed that did not permit these two writers from morphing into a single entity that took control. The introduction of the long flash-backs was very disruptive to the story and added little, other than, filler for this book . If this had been my first book by these writers, I believe I would have concluded this would be the last I would read.
