I finished Crescent Rising (Ryan Black Thriller) and I really enjoyed it. I understand the comparison to Clancy. It's the way Hamric introduces and tells the stories of all the factions and characters by jumping (coherently) between them in the timeline until they all come together and the the links become clear. Sometimes when authors do that, it can be confusing because they don't give enough detail at the time and the reader can loose track too easily. Hamric, like Clancy, gives enough detail at each jump that the reader can follow the story of each, knowing that there is going to be a tie in eventually. Kudos .... also <grin> There seems to be something a bit "Dirk Pitt-ish" about Ryan. I think they'd get along famously!
