i read that one - one of the last clancy books i got through. it had about 5 plots. the merger of iran/iraq to make the united islamic republic (uir). the illigitimacy of a ryan presidency, the mountain men, domestic right wing terrorists blowing up the capitol, "movie star" (foriegn terrorists) kidnaping ryan's kid and china and india hooking up with new uir to sink the us navy and distract them from the uir's evil plot to takeover the middle east. it's called "executive decision" and it's a typical clancy porkfest of 1400 feverish pages. hard to pick up - easier to put down. still it distracted me for a few nights.
