Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

CIA man Jack Ryan, hero of Patriot Games, finds that he will probably never have a boring summer: The sudden and surprising assassination of three American officials in Colombia. Many people in many places, moving off on missions they all mistakenly thought they understood. The future was too fearful for contemplation, and beyond the expected finish lines were things that, once decided, were better left unseen. Tom Clancy's new thriller is based on America's war on drugs... and the covert--and shocking--U.S. response. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From Publishers Weekly

When a U.S. president decides that drug smuggling has become a "clear and present danger" to national security, the response is a complex and covert military campaign against the "Colombian Cartel." "The dean of techno-thrillers demonstrates once again his mastery of the genre," stated PW .

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I have ever read!!!!!!!, Jun 13 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Clear and Present Danger (School & Library Binding)
I'm not the biggest clancy fan but I could not put this book down. The action just never stopped moving and continued to escalate throughout the book. The last hundred pages kept me on the edge of my seat. I'd recommend this book to all readers even if you're not the biggest clancy fan

5.0 out of 5 stars Drug Warriors, Dec 6 2001
By Matherson (New York) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Clear and Present Danger (Paperback)
Probably the most reflective of all of Clancy's books, this tells the story of what would happen if the "cold" war on drugs developed into a "hot" war. Was turned into a decidedly skeptical film. The most cogent narrative takes place in the early stages, on board the coast guard cutter. Also features lots of derring-do on board Pave Low helicopters, if you're into that sort of thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Bunch, Nov 23 2001
By N. Cooley (Gilbert, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Clear and Present Danger (Paperback)
"Clear and Present Danger" is the best of Clancy's novels. I find it amazing that Clancy can conceive a storyline and more often than not that story comes to fruition in real life. I decided to read this one even though I had seen the movie and was astonished at how far the movie strayed from the book. The book is so much better with so much more detail (obviously) and a much more fluid storyline. I have read most of Clancy's novels and this one is the best of the Ryan series and probably my favorite of them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clancy on how the Monroe Doctrine does, or doesn't, work, in techno-thriller guise
This book tells it just as it is. This book, set largely in Latin America, is so realistic. I have lived in Latin America, been eyeball to eyeball with some prominent people... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a great story.
This is not his best book but still worth a look.It is still a great story. Not superior. Ryan is up to his neck in trouble. A great ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars Audio version a joke
This refers to the unabridged audio version of 'Clear and Present Danger'. The book is very long, and the way they squeeze it into a series of cassettes is bogus. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars If you like Clancy, you'll like Clear and Present Danger
A typical Tom Clancy book. The details can be overwhelming at times, and sometimes bog down the story, but then again, that is Tom Clancy! Read more
