Summary: One of Clancy's Great Books
Comment: Tom Clancy delivers in this poweful book, expertyly portraying America's war on drugs. After personal friends of the president are killed by drug runners, the president decides that the threat of drugs is a very clear and present danger. In order to deal with this problem, he decides to send over covert special operation teams fluent in Spanish, into Columbia to neautroulize the threat to the American people. Even though I thought the beginning was a little slow, the book picks up very fast. With interesting characters like Ding Chavez, Jonh Clark, and Jack Ryan the book is a very enjoyable read. This by far is one of my favorite books and I recomened this novel to any Clancy fan or anyone who enjoys a good suspensful book. Enjoy!

Summary: A great a story
Comment: 'Clear and Present Danger' is an action book by Tom Clancy. It is to do with Colombian drug dealers who kill an American Ambassador, and the head of the F.B.I. This angers the president of the U.S enough for him to send undercover teams to Colombia, in the hope of exposing the dealers. But all of this information is kept back from Jack Ryan (C.I.A), and he tries to discover what is going on. He succeeds, but only to discover that the Vice-President has given away information to the Colombians, so they can kill the teams, he is a traitor. Ryan has to rescue the teams, and expose the Vice-President. This book is a complex book, but it was still quite enjoyable. It has an excellent story-line, the best I have ever read. But I think it is meant more for adults that for children and I found it quite challenging. I have also seen the film starring Harrison Ford, but I think the book is better as the film strays from the original a lot. I enjoyed this book, but I don't think it is meant for my age.

Summary: Some problems...but good overall
Comment: Clear And Present Danger starts out with the Coast Guard finding three top American officials killed on their yacht, and the men charged with the murder are from the Cali Drug Cartel in Columbia, so to get back at the Cali Cartel, the President then prepares a secret covert operation of selected Special Forces to bring back justice to the Cartel. Jack Ryan comes back into the picture, with Admiral James Greener dying of cancer, and now he is left in charge as DDI of the CIA, but Jack does not know about the covert operation in Columbia, since they dont want Jack to intervere in the operations. So comes in Domingo Chavez, a East L.A. Chicano who turn his life around by joining the U.S. Army and becoming a Ranger, and now he is the selected person to go to Columbia to fight the drug lords.
Now as they get ready to train for the operation, Jack has NO IDEA what is going on, but he knows that something is not right, and they are keeping quiet about the operation. As they arrive to Columbia, John Clark is running the operation and in charge of the whole thing. Jack and John Clark know each other from rescusing CARDINAL (a U.S. spy in the Kremlin) and bringing him to America where he lives in exile.
Now one of the Cali Cartel's men brings in a woman who works for the CIA and has top secret information about the operation, and finds out that one of the top men who is running the operation is going to Columbia, so his men sets up a ambush and attacks their convoy. Now, the operation gets more intense where they bomb the drug lord's house, and it makes it look like a car bomb. Now, as the Cali Drug Cartel finds out what is going on, they now are hunting them in the thick forests of Columbia thanks to the Columbian military which he has complete control of thanks to money. Jack Ryan then finds out what is going on, and now the covert operation is dead, and they are leaving the men in Columbia on their own. Jack then goes down to Columbia to rescue the men from the hidden dangers the Cali drug cartel has to offer. Now Jack rescues the men, and the President lost the election, and now President Fowler is in office, so now Jack has a new boss, along with a new enemy: Elizabeth Elliot; the National Security Advisor who hates Jack with a passion.
The book starts out slow, but it is still worth a good read to get into.
