Dead or Alive by Tom Clancy

Another Jack Ryan novel from Tom Clancy, and although I found it a page turner, I was frustrated at all the gung-ho American nationalism dripping from this book. It seems that an American can shoot a gun in the wrong direction and he will hit a bad guy but the bad guys can be firing hundreds of rounds and the All American hero might get a scratch or two but rarely more. Well, one of the "good" guys does die so there goes my theory.

No, I did like the early Jack Ryan books and I had not read one for a while but this, though riveting, gets a 3 out of 10.
