The Teeth of the Tiger

I finished reading The Teeth of the Tiger by Tom Clancy a couple days ago. It's the first novel that I've read in a long time. (Too many textbooks and assorted non-fiction). I thought it was pretty good. It was shorter than most of his books and, consequently, the plot and characters were not as rich as some of his other books. (Jack Ryan is no longer the main character - he's retired and his son, aptly named Jack Ryan Jr., is now the protagonist). The only thing I didn't like is that it was set up a little much for a sequel - a few obvious, but unspecific, foreshadowings to characters and events that don't occur. All in all though, it was good read.
