Reviews
Standard Tom Clancy
4By Dunes 1969The story line was a standard Tom Clancy classic with the main characters always getting into trouble only to find a way out A interesting story line of going back and further to when Jack sr was in the field then to the present day of Jack jr is the agent in the fieldGreat read
5By elperodeExcellent bookA Decent Sendoff
4By UncleJBFromUnknownFirst off, I highly doubt Clancy put any major input into this one. The book contains some rather boring and drawn out sequences but it's balanced by great action. It was nice to see the return of the classic alliances, organizations and characters. All in all, this book was decent. If you have a few dollars to spare: Get it.Command Authority
5By The Watecherhard to put down when you start this great story. Clancy delivers again.Just So So
3By SS in VAI have read three of the latest Clancy books co-authored by Mark Greaney. I liked the other two, Full Force and Threat Vector much better than this one. The failure of Command Authority is that a lot of the Book seemed like a history text. Not enough action. And I think it had a very complex, forced plot. I had to force myself to read large portions of this book. That is not my idea of a great and enjoyable novel. Read the other two. They are great.Command Authority
5By didleysquat47As usual a great read and very apropos to the day’s headlines. I highly recommend this for the action, the insight and the continuing saga of J.R., Junior along with the continued saga of J.R., SeniorWell done
4By BHH121Have read them all but this one is right up there. Not the best but certainly worth the read. Very different approach weaving the past into the present with Dad and son interacting.Fantastic !
5By Chiefmac64Highly recommend. Multiple subplots, great action sequences, interesting characters, this book has it all.Command Authority
4By Dick S.Another excellent Clancy book. Not as engrossing as earlier works but, still quite good. The bouncing back forth 30 years takes away some suspense, action and story line . Worth the read.Disappointed
3By INFJ-maleSlow, unnecessary flashbacks and a sense of two very good writers not being able to pull together...made for a long read! Greaney can write a strong action packed book; and Clancy was very good at one time. But, perhaps conditions existed that did not permit these two writers from morphing into a single entity that took control. The introduction of the long flash-backs was very disruptive to the story and added little, other than, filler for this book . If this had been my first book by these writers, I believe I would have concluded this would be the last I would read.
