Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First - to all readers and reviewers: stop comparing this book with anything else and using Clancy's name as some marker. This is not Tom Clancy's work, Tom had not written a single book in a decade prior to his untimely passing. His franchise has drawn a dozen start up writers since before 9/11 and the only author who truly improved on Tom's work is Mark Greaney. Yes, Tom set a standard for writing in the 90s and that era has been long gone and that era is where Tom's style belongs. That said, this is Mark Greaney's work, from start to finish, not "with Mark Greaney" but Mark Greaney as the author "with Tom Clancy franchise" - is how it should be stated on the cover. Mark has no need for anyone else's name to be compared with, he is the talent in his own class. The last three novels in the Jack Ryan's series, Locked On, Threat Vector and this one are Mark Greaney's masterpieces not Tom Clancy's - get it all straight. Mark's talent shines in this story as it has been in his own Gray Man series (the 4th one just got released, by the way) Command Authority is written much better than late Clancy could have written it, may he rest in peace. It has less filler, more substance, excellent narrative style, precise and taut logically sound writing, no worthless cliffhangers and no shifting the story from one character to another and then back again from chapter to chapter, etc. Another Great work by Greaney!
