WITHOUT REMORSE

Without Remorse is probably the best work Clancy has done to date--at least since Red October--but don't expect another techno-thriller. The book has its share of murder, intrigue, military adventure and power corruption, but gone is the technical detail. In its place is an expression of the rough do-it-yourself justice, increasingly found in today's society. The book has been abridged well for audio and leaves the listener with a sense of completion. Its weakness is in its reader. One has to be a David Dukes fan to appreciate the narration. He imposes himself on the author's characters so forcefully and completely that they often seem interchangeable. F.S.J. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 93]
