Red October is a taut, well-paced thriller. Subsequent books have pretty much failed to maintain the pace set by his first. The Sum of All Fears degenerated into a kind of hapless have-somebody-do-something-stupid-in-order-to-further-the-plot. This may have been his nadir, but I have read nothing of his since.

"Clancy told me that his favorite of his own novels is Patriot Games, the one he said was most 'savaged' by reviewers." -- from an article on "techno-thrillers" in the Virginia Quarterly Review
