Pros: Fantastic plot based on meticulous research.
Cons: Fantastic plot wears pretty thin.

Debt of Honor, Tom Clancy's eighth novel (and seventh in the Jack Ryan series) brings the former CIA Deputy Director out of a brief retirement and back into government service. With the dust settling from the various crises depicted in The Sum of All ...
I’m an avid reader. In fact, in a seven month time-frame I read dozens of novels constituting 30,000 pages. I’ve read everything Grisham, everything Clancy, everything Crichton, half-everything Koontz (doesn’t compare to above authors), and several...
Pros: Suspenseful, Many Twists Cons: Textbook at times
Tom Clancy's major character, Jack Ryan, appears again to save the world, in Debt of Honor. Clancy's novel is epic in length, nearly 1,000 pages while the text and copy is often textbook material. If you're looking for light reading, keeping...
Pros: Action filled fun, lots of technical detail Cons: Ridiculous ending, over long
This is another entrant in my ongoing epinions on the novels of Tom Clancy. Today we turn our attention to "Debt of Honor", which follows "The Sum of All Fears" in the Jack Ryan saga. Let us begin with a trivia quiz: a) What ...
Pros: Engaging and involved plot, well written, good action passages, holds the reader's attention. Cons: Slow start, agonizingly long--could've been two books, superpatriotic, heavy use of specialized language.
This book is 990 pages long in paperback. Be prepared. It starts off slowly on the island of Guam and concludes in Washington, D.C. with a bang-up ending. It spends the intervening time in the United States, Japan, Guam, and many areas of the...
Pros: Jack Ryan, typical Clancy style Cons: Too long, sparse action until the end
Debt of Honor starts out with Jack Ryan, hero of all butone of Clancy's previous novels, being recalled to government service as the president's National Security Advisor. The Japanese, however, are at the very same time attempting to annex...
Pros: Jack Ryan, military knowledge Cons: length, down time, lack of action
Tom Clancy has always been known for his huge, compelling stories and his well-defined characters. Clancy writes with a style all his own, and his mastery of modern military tactics and technology is unparalleled. The adventures of Jack Ryan are...
Pros: Enthralling, intriguing and incredible Cons: Almost 1000 pages long
To begin with, Tom Clancy does it again. He is a master of the techno-thriller if not the master. "Debt Honor" continues the Jack Ryan series and this one covers all the basis, from economic battles, to internal political strife through...
Pros: A well crafted novel Cons: Occasional mind numbing detail
“Debt of Honour” is a key chapter in the fictional life of Jack Ryan as it reveals how, in the space of one novel, Ryan goes from a Wall Street Stockbroker to National Security Advisor to savior of the United States to President without even pausing for...
Pros: Great plot, Very exciting, Scarily plausible Cons: Long, Technical
I'm going to keep this one short cuz I hate writing book reports for class as it is. But this was such a fantastic story, I have no trouble writing about it.
Once again, Clancy shows his knack for showing the reader that seemingly unimportant...
Pros: War with Japan, Jack Ryan Cons: Financial information gets boring
Tom Clancy is by and far my favorite author. Through impressive detail, the product of relentless research, and foreshadowing, Clancy doesn't allow the reader to put the book down. Financial terror and a little bit of bloodshed result from one ugly...
This book should be read by all. I for one think that Tom Clancy is a genius at conspiracy type books. Don't get me wrong I loved Rainbow Six, but this book keeps you on your toes, and no one knows what he's doing. Also be prepared to read a lot...
