Espionage

Me remito a mi crítica del anterior libro de El Campus. Desde que Tom Clancy se murió ya no es el mismo. Con este no he podido ni terminar, me he quedado en un 80% y arrastrándome desde el 30%. Situaciones MUY absurdas (como una terrorista de Daguestán que sin embargo posee un corazón puro y bondadoso), agentes desbocados sobre el terreno que desobedecen todas las órdenes de su gobierno y sin embargo siguen recibiendo todos los materiales y las ayudas... ¡Un romance del protagonista en una novela de Clancy! Un sindiós. Estos suplantadores del Clancy no dan la talla. Debo asumir que se acabó mi placer culpable. ( )

Einer der schwächsten Campus-Romane, da es mehr oder weniger ein Alleingang von Jack Ryan ist und das Thema "Dagestan" nicht unbedingt spannend aufbereitet wurde. ( )

I generally enjoy Tom Clancy novels.
I enjoy plots with twists.
But this novel had so many twists and such convoluted plot logic, that I found myself rereading to figure out what was happening instead of enjoying the story. Unfortunately, the plot twists was the strongest element in the story. ( )

I liked this book a lot when I was reading it. Now that I am thinking about it, there are things that bother me. First: the author wanted Jack Jr's new girlfriend to be involved. There was some rolling eyes parts. Nothing against her, but the author had her drive someone off the road and go into dangerous situations, where she had ZERO training or skill to do those things. She also came up with important information by checking phones several hours/days after they got the cell. You'd think the highly trained/paid Campus would have found that data. I do enjoy those Tom Clancy's.
