Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Tom Clancy goes to the White House in this thriller of political terror and global disaster. The American political situation takes a disturbing turn as the President, Congress, and Supreme Court are obliterated when a Japanese terrorist lands a 747 on the Capitol. Meanwhile the Iranians are unleashing an Ebola virus threat on the country. Jack Ryan, CIA agent, is cast in the middle of this maelstrom. Because of a recent sex scandal, Ryan was appointed vice president, a slot he doesn't hold for long when he lands in the Chief Executive's chair. He goes after the Iranians and then tries to piece together the country and his life the only way he knows how--with a fury that we've grown accustomed to in Clancy's intricate, detailed, and accurate stories of warfare and intrigue.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Not English it is American, Nov 2 2004
By 72 year old Daryaei Dancing (United Islamic Replubic) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Executive Orders (Mass Market Paperback)
A horrible book. Firstly too long. Readers will forget the plot by the time they reach the last chapter.Although this is a great plot in my opinion There are also many grammatical mistakes so horrid I dare not utter them here. Clancy attempts to go Pro America but ends up telling us that the world is equal to hell...that we all should die. Mr Sabir Aah says "I dont dare touch that book. I hate clancy" If you are a bold reader then you may try this book. For most readers however, I would warn you...

By the Way if someone with lots of time, power, ink and/or money could turn this book into a 500 p. one it would be worth 1.01 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars The last Clancy book I read, July 9 2004
By Kaj G. Trapp (Kent, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Executive Orders (Mass Market Paperback)
I had read all of Tom Clancy's books up to and including this one. But this one made me realize that now that the Cold War was over, so was my fascination with Clancy. This book is part "Tom Clancy's Public Policy Opinions" and part virus outbreak, with a homegrown terrorist plot that, without giving too much away, ends up a major disappointment. The virus plot is interesting, but the political plot wasn't to me. Perhaps this is because I don't share Clancy's views, and he portrayed them as such basic common sense, with the opposing side so hapless in offering a rebuttle, that I was a little offended. This also made me reflect on his previous books and realize even more that his characters all seem to be either really really good guys or really really bad guys with horrible character flaws. There's never any shades of gray to his characters, and even the "scandal" that dogs Ryan is due to him being too noble for his own good. Finally, I realized that with Jack Ryan as president, his days of dodging torpedos in a submarine were at an end, and thus, my favorite literary action character was being retired to a desk job.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling masterpiece., Jun 27 2004
This review is from: Executive Orders (Mass Market Paperback)
"Executive Orders" picks up where Tom Clancy's previous novel "Debt of Honor" left off, as Jack Ryan--moments after being confirmed as Vice President--has just been sworn in as the new President of the United States following a tragic attack which has claimed the lives of President Roger Durling, most of the House & Senate members and all nine Supreme Court justices. Ryan immediately finds himself facing numerous challenges both at home and abroad. Domestic enemies, including the mainstream media and a disgraced former vice president question the legitimacy of Ryan's presidency. And in the Middle East, Iran invades Iraq after assassinating the Iraqi president, and now the two nations are unified as the UIR--United Islamic Republic. A biological attack on the United States by UIR-sponsored terrorists leads to another Gulf War as President Ryan sends U.S. troops into the region to deal with the attackers and their sponsors. "Executive Orders" is an outstanding read, the best of the presidential phase of the Jack Ryan series. As "Red Rabbit" revisited the beginning of Jack Ryan's CIA career, I would love to see Clancy revisit Ryan's presidency someday.
