Dead or Alive Dead or Alive By Clancy Tom 2010 publication Hardcover Books
This is my first time reading a book that was really written by Clancy. But I have read other books with his name on the cover all of which were based on his video game franchise Splinter cell. In short I have been a fan since 2005 when I played Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory along with Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six Vegas. I am just one of many readers and Video gamers who will miss Clancy`s style of writing. With Clancy it's simple, you either love what he does or you don't, and if you are fan, then it's been a long time, about ten years since he has been on the Best Seller list, but once again that is where he is headed. Clancy is the master of his genre because he takes the time to learn technical aspects of what he is writing about. This means when you read Clancy you are reading the real thing. Facts are checked, scenarios are discussed with technical aspects, and nothing is left to chance or done offhandedly.When he talks weapons, he goes into the detail that a munitions dealer would deal with. In this novel we see operators using a Knights Armament M110 Sniper System. He tells you it's the best because he has done the homework. It is facts like this that the master storyteller weaves into the tapestry of his books that many readers including myself find fascinating.
I am not going to discuss the plot in detail because that's why we read the book. Here's what you need to know. This is a big blot book which is what most of Clancy's books represent. In this case, Jack Ryan is a retired President of the United States. His son Jack Junior is running a secret independent anti-terrorist agency that his father the President started.
It is called The Campus, and it has been successful for years going after the bad guys. The current President seems to be weak on terrorism and is more concerned with guaranteeing the legal rights of the bad guys than protecting the country. You are already seeing the subplots develop.
Clancy puts us in the thick of it. We as readers are in the game. When Delta Force operators and Rangers go into the caves of Afghanistan we are with them. We breathe the odors; we hear the sounds, and we feel the tension. We find ourselves silencing our own voices because we don't want the good guys to be caught, and that is classic Clancy.
In this book there is evil in the world, and in DEAD or ALIVE, an evil man in the world is at lodge. He has wreaked havoc on the Western world. We call him the Emir, and his objective is to deal a devastating terrorist blow to the United States. The book takes you around the world while Ryan Junior, and his father's old hands John Clark and Ding Chavez join Ryan along with Brian and Dominic Caruso with Mary Foley.
It's a race for time, and for America. Will the good guys win, and where is the Emir? Is he in a cave 8,000 miles away or is he right here among us? You will have to read the book to find out and oh what an ending.
Why I Love Clancy and you will too?
Please allow me to give you a feel why Clancy was the absolute best writer in his fiction segment. It is his incessant ability to weave odd important facts into his stories, and to weave reality into the fabric of the plot:
* His description of the computer setup at the National Security Agency is without equal.
* There are 125,000 cranes in the world and currently Dubai has 30,000 of them currently building and rebuilding the city. Who knows things like this?
* Plans do not survive the first contact with the enemy.
* Laziness has consequences. If you are a sentry, if you pause, if you hesitate, if you light up a cigarette, you are DEAD.
* You don't have to like it; you just have to do it.
* The FBI Urban Tactical Training Facility is preeminent in the world. They are the best of the best. See why in the book.
CONCLUSION:
This is a great read, all 848 pages of it. You start the book and you can't put it down, and in the end isn't that why we read Clancy. We just keep going until we are finished, and when we are finished we are ready for more. That is why he will be missed by so many readers out there. Read it today and see for yourself, and thank you for reading this review.

Dead or Alive Dead or Alive By Clancy Tom 2010 publication Hardcover Books Reviews
I have been a fan since the 1980's and Hunt For Red October, Red Storm, Patriot Games, and finally stopped at the Bear. Do not like his splinter cell books, mainly because he does not write them and its as obvious as the day is bright.
Thought I would give these a try and my other favorite author W E B Griffin has also fallen out of characters and is now having his stories ghost written by people who well, there is a reason they are ghost writers.
While this book was interesting and entertaining, it did lack a bit of the old Clancy. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it might of been the constant references to his original novels and how this one is trying to live off the exploits of the previous books more than actually creating memories. The action in this book was quick and did not leave a lasting impression with me, as did every freaking word in Without Remorse did. Why they never made that into a movie, I will never know.
So my recommendation is read this book, if your a hard core Clancy fan, don't get your hopes up. If your new, stop reading, go back to Hunt, Red, Patriot, Kremlin, Clear, and the remainders or this book will make no sense to you.
I ordered a set of three Clancy books just to catch up on the story line. Dead or Alive is believe it or not a good read. I'm not looking for some Nobel prize material with a series book, just good entertainment. This book provides it to a tee. The Characters are there still as they were with the signs of time added to it to bring more life into them. Don't expect a bunch of 25 year olds to be running around the world saving it....(oh, wait a minute,there are 25 year olds running around ) Just NEW CHARACTERS to get used to with the originals coming along for the ride.The number of pages is still showing that Clancy likes a long read and his readers can agree that his books will always be able to provide a way to lose yourself for a few hours or days away from what we call society today.Dead or Alive picks up with the story line and provides a few things that you remember from before. If you are a fan of the Jack Ryan series, take the plunge and catch up with old and new friends. You can't help but like this book because it FITS with the series. Those of you that have trashed it in your reviews are the same type of people who at the beginning of the TV season load their DVD's with the Twilight Zone series and then complain that it's black and white.It comes down to....if you liked the series,then buy Dead or Alive and enjoy it. If you're looking for some great ground-breaking material, buy it anyway. Too much techno babble will rot your brain.
All in all a great job. Only hiccups were the author, perhaps letting his own, somewhat liberal bias in. About torture and putting that in to some rather unbelievable statements from known characters like Clark. Really, he considers water boarding torture? Seals and many spec ops troops are subjected to it in training.
Leaving that aside great story development and very good research on such technical topics such as the many flying segments.
Looking forward to the next book in the series, thanks for such a great read!
This story focuses on the workings of the campus, the super-secret, off the books intelligence gathering and action oriented paramilitary outfit. After leaving “Rainbow,” John Clark & Ding Chavez also join the campus as operatives. The big target is the “Emir,” who caused the 9/11 attack. The country is poorly reacting tomEd Kealty’s imperial presidency. Arnie VanDam convinces Jack Ryan, Sr. to run for President again, ad the country needs him. Overall, this is a great read !
