" I have read every book to this point in the "Jack Ryan Series" and wish I would have stopped at "The Bear and the Dragon." Since that novel, Clancy has relied too much on his coauthors and the stories have been watered down, the characters lacking depth, and his suspense is predictable. If I could advise anyone thinking about reading "Locked On" who admired Clancy's core work, don't read it and damage your admiration of Clancy, the "Jack Ryan" story, and the characters you enjoyed in earlier books.
