I’ve read virtually all of the Clancy novels, and no, they do not go all over the place. They are in chronological order with the exception of Patriot Games:

Red October: Ryan is a CIA analyst, figures out what Red October (Russian missile sub) is up to.

Patriot Games: This one was a prequel. Takes place before Red October. Ryan is a lecturer of naval history. Stops an attack on English Royals and pisses off the IRA. Explains how he came to work for CIA.

Cardinal of the Kremlin: Takes place after Red October. Ryan has to figure a way to save the life of CIA’s top Soviet spy.

Clear and Present Danger: Ryan is now one of CIA’s senior officers. Stumbles into an illegal operation by the CIA targeting drug cartels.

Sum of All Fears: Ryan is now deputy head of CIA and has to deal with a crisis triggered by a nuclear attack on the US by terrorists.

Debt of Honor: Ryan is promoted to National Security Advisor. DEals with an economic and military attack on America.

Executive Orders: Picks up where Debt of Honor lefts off. The assassination of the president gets RYan promoted to El Presidente.

Rainbow Six: Ryan is in the background and is only mentioned once, but he’s still president. Main focus is on the new NATO CounterTerror team.

The chronology of the Jack Ryan books are correct and make sense. The movies screw it up somewhat. And Sum of All Fears…well, let’s just say they chose to forget about Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger when they made this movie.

EDIT:

The top operative of R6 is not Ryan’s son-in-law. John Clark is R6’s boss and is Ryan’s friend. Chavez is one of the leaders of the commando teams and is Clark’s son-in-law. Just wanted to clear that up.

lol
i messed up :frowning:
too much reading… ugh…

anyways… i think what everyone meant…by having the chronological thing … is that the books arent releasedd…in a specific order…

and sum of all fears… was “before” the jack ryan in October…

taht was pretty bad…mistaking clark for ryan tho :frowning:
:sigh:

143

whew looks like I’ve got my summer & fall reading cut out for me :smiley: thanks for the novel summaries dogberry, I look forward to reading all of these.

144

Angielina:

Hey no problemo. Happy reading!

YellowS4:

Are you sure that “Sum” took place before “October”? IIRC in OCtober Ryan was an analyst working for one of the CIA’s senior officers. In Sum Ryan is the deputy head of CIA. Also, Debt of Honor actually picks up where Sum lefts off. In the end of Sum Ryan is furious with the President’s decision of nuclear retaliation and resigns from CIA, and in Debt of Honor the new president calls Ryan from retirement and makes him the new National Security Advisor.

EDIT:

Were you referring to the movie and not the book when you said that Sum took place before October? BEcause if you were talking about the movie then you’re probably right. My bad. But then the movies seemed to jump back and forth in time a lot more than the books.

145

damn i am happy to see that girls play fighting games
i was begining to think ddr was all they liked

146

I had a great day off from work yesterday. Got to see my old art instructor, Tony, and we both had a look at the exhibit as a whole for the first time yesterday. Had some really interesting feedback from Tony about my work. Saw the Bourne Identity, really good action flick. oh, and the best news, an arcade up the street from where I live just opened up. I’ll check that place out Wednesday and see if it’s noteworthy or not.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend :cool:

147

I mean damn, should I unsubscribe t this thead? I feel like I can never get into a convo in here anymore. Hey Jen, Ang, QoC, Dire, Rubes.
Smitty:wtf:

148

[shameless plug] If any of you ladies need ANYTHING Japanese (and I do mean ANYTHING) check out my store, we do mail orders!!! [/plug]

http://www.animeretropolis.com

It feels good to have my store back…well 1/3 of it anyways.

149

hey Mycah… I want Gothic Lolita Bible vol 4!!! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: and… a copy of the latest Kera and FRUiTS. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

150

Where is the store part of the store?

151

Dont worry babe. Im kinda lost at the moment too. Dont check the thread for a week and Im totally bewildered. Female thread is one of the few places you can get good ideas for reading material I find.

A copy of Kera and Fruits doesnt sound too bad to me either…hee hee.

I have fallen in love with Jy Stijls Taco. They have wonderful urban/cyber? wear… If I had all the money I could want I would wear nothing but their stuff… well, and my vintage dresses of course.

152

Well we have OVER 3,000 VHS Tapes and OVER 700 DVD’s along with Mags, Anime Stdks and J-Pop/Rap/Hip Hop/Punk/Metal/Rock/Blues, etc. CD’s and Hong Kong/Japanese movies of all kinds it’s going to take a while to get ALL of that stuff up so give us time :slight_smile:

153

Hey guys…

Im sorry to say, I wont be coming to Evolution this year. My man has decided to retire from the SF scene, and honestly we just dont have the money to do that big of a trip like we were hoping we would. There’s going to be some expenses coming up soon (tutition hike, books, car repairs, and maybe medical, etc, etc) that I’ll have to start saving up for. It looks like I just found my job a bit to late to get the money saved up like I hoped I would and the University of Kansas’ tutition hike is going to suck up any extra dough I might have. I was hoping I could take the semester off, but it looks like Im still going to have to go to school and work 3/4 time at least unless by some miracle my tribal card comes in and I get financial aide of some sort.

:frowning: So it looks like we’re not going this year at least. We may be still going to some smaller anime cons if we get the chance though, so I’ll let you guys know when and where we’re going so maybe we can hook up and get some casual play in and stuff. I was really looking forward to seeing you girls and getting to play. I dont think I wouldve entered Evl2K but I still wouldve loved cheering my girls (and BOYS too, dont think I dont love you!) on.

sadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsad

But you know I still expect pics and victory stories on AIM and on here!! You have to let me know what Im missing!! :mad:

154

I sure as hell won’t be there, I got a store to help run and a Team to whip into shape.

155

Papi: sorry about that erratic subject change on ya there. guess we overdid it a bit when trying to leave some other drama off the board last week. shrugs I didn’t realize there were so many Tom Clancy fans on here either :cool:

Mycah: once you guys have the catalog section set up I will definitely spread the word here in k.c. I know my brother-in-law Mike would love to see what the store has in the way of anime series too.

D9: I’ll see you and Ben-ra on Friday at the gallery (damn I’m way too excited over this opening…hee hee) Oh yeah I am bringing my 8mm to this event too, so don’t be camera shy :smiley:

156

What’s up D9? Man, too bad that you can’t come to Evl2k2 this year.(Only one month away!) I understand that there are many other important things that you have to take care of. I bought a new Nissan truck and am getting the enjoyment of making car payments to pay that bad boy off. I’m still gonna go to Evl2k2 since L.A. is not too far from where I’m at. I’ll have my stories when I return. And I know you expect pics, since I know people will spot me when I’m up to play.(like TacoChan):slight_smile: Later!

I have no problems with any of those besides 10and 12. Maybe if women knew HOW to parallel park I could keep quiet, and shopping is the most boring thing EVER just make up your MINDS!!!

159

did that last joke hit a nerve or something Phil? it’s kewl though, no grudges. just wanted to share somethng with the other girls.
anyways…
finally found a PS2 version of KoF99 (pretty scarce in these parts) will get some much needed (and over due) practice tomorrow

Mycah: check you’re email…sent you those gif edits you wanted. hope they’re ok

160

lol no hard feelings babe, just joking for the most part. Just that my mom can’t drive for shit and it freaks me out when she tries to park. As for the shopping stuff, I can actually stand it for about 1-2 hours as long as the girl has taste and I’d actually want to see her in the clothes she’s trying on, lol. But theres nothing worse than a woman shopping who’s looking for that ONE item that you know doesn’t exist…
