First the bad - it's the typical us versus the terrorist novel, this time involving a nuclear weapon smuggled int0 the country.  The story line has now been done dozens of times and the final outcome is pretty much predetermined.  Thirty years ago every spy/action thriller dealt with Russia as the boogeyman, not it's middle eastern terrorist.  However, even though it's formula writing, this one is still pretty good.The book moves at a decent pace, could probably have been shortened up a bit in some areas but overall it gets the job done.  A good bit of the book is character development for future novels which is fine if a bit tedious.  However, the characters mesh well together and play off one another easily.  The epilogue to the book is really just setting the table for the next installment.It's no Clancy in his heyday (although far better than the current Clancy) but well worth reading for fans of this genre.
