Against All Enemies by Tom Clancy, 756 pages.
A big, clunky, jingoistic work concerning itself with drug dealers, terrorists, drug dealing terrorists, and anti-Americans of all stripes. I hadn't read a book by this author in a while, though he is the founder of his own sub-genre and the literary father of Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, Kyle Martin and a score of others. Once you get used to the two-dimensional feel of the characters, though Clancy and his co-author give everyone a few sentence's worth of nuance, the book is a page turner, with lots of stuff blowing up and lots of shooting. So it's not all bad. Fans of large thrillers, who aren't looking for complicated plots or complicated characters will enjoy.
