Clear and Present Danger

good one


Air Force One was good too

I'm torn. Would probably have to be Witness.

How am I the first one to mention Patriot Games?

Blade Runner
The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
Apocalypse Now
The Fugitive

I need to read Clancy. Never did.

Red Storm Rising (this is a non-Jack Ryan, but all the elements are there) - is a beast - I would read it separately from the Jack Ryan's - either first or last. It has the heft of ASOIAF book - at the end of the day.

The Jack Ryan novels and my grade:

Hunt for Red October (A)

Patriot Games (B)

Cardinal of the Kremlin (B)

Clear and Present Danger (B)

The Sum of All Fears (B)

Without Remorse (A) (<- Not really a Ryan novel but in the same universe - I think Ryan's dad is a significant character - Jack Ryan may appear as a kid - this is a "prologue" if you will about Mr. Clark's origins)

Debt of Honor (C)

Executive Orders (C+)

And I didn't read from Rainbow Six on. The trend line was definitely going down - But you can read Red Storm Rising (also an A, maybe and A+ - hard to downgrade a nearly 1000 page novel that you can't put down and read over a weekend.) separately as well as Without Remorse - you won't be missing much - then go with Hunt for Red October and take it from there if that is your cup of tea. Unfortunately, for my tastes, that means you've already read the "A" grade novels.

get off my plane bitch


on a more serious note i have literally read every tom Clancy book ever written huge fan read the bear and the dragon read the bear and the dragon read the bear and the dragon you will not put it down it's a huge 1000 page book and you will stay up reading the bitch for 3 days


my one wish in life is someone makes a omvie out of this book His best book he's ever written IMHO with the sum of all fears coming in 2nd and patriot games coming in third

Hunt for Red October (A)

I read this...while I was in the Navy...and learned shite about the Navy.

One of his best.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is as close to perfect as a movie gets. Top 5 all time IMO.

In terms of individual acting performances Regarding Henry or Blade Runner were probably his best but the best movie overall was Raiders and it isn't close.

Watched that movie more than others, I honestly don't know why because I love Raiders.

But there's just something about the Fugitive.

It's Ford still being Ford but a little more serious without being Regarding Henry. I think it's this perfect balance of campy action and seriousness. It just works...whatever anyone's reason...it's his apex IMO.
