Dieser Titel ist in englischer Sprache.
In diesem Thriller über politischen Terror und globale Katastrophe führt uns Tom Clancy ins Weiße Haus. Die politische Lage in Amerika nimmt eine beunruhigende Wendung nachdem ein japanischer Terrorist eine 747 auf dem Capitol landet und der Präsident, der Kongreß und das Oberste Gericht ausgelöscht werden. Währendessen bedrohen die Iraner das Land mit dem Ebola-Virus. CIA-Agent Jack Ryan gerät genau in das Zentrum dieses gefährlichen Strudels. Wegen eines Sexskandals wird der Vizepräsident entlassen und Ryan zu seinem Nachfolger ernannt. Wegen des Anschlags behält er diesen Posten nicht lange und landet auf dem Präsidentenstuhl. Er jagt die Iraner und versucht anschließend das Land und sein Leben auf die einzige Art und Weise, die er kennt, wieder zusammenzustückeln -- mit einer Wut, an die wir uns in Clancys verwickelten, detaillierten und genauen Geschichten von Kriegsführung und Intrige mittlerweile gewöhnt haben.

Tom Clancy goes to the White House in this thriller of political terror and global disaster. The American political situation takes a disturbing turn as the President, Congress and Supreme Court are obliterated when a Japanese terrorist lands a 747 on the Capitol. Meanwhile, the Iranians are unleashing an Ebola virus threat on the country. Jack Ryan, CIA agent, is cast into the middle of this maelstrom. As a result of a recent sex scandal, Ryan had been appointed vice president, but it's an office he doesn't hold for long when he finds himself suddenly thrust into the Chief Executive's chair. He goes after the Iranians and then tries to piece together the country and his life the only way he knows how--with a fury, which is what we've come to expect in Clancy's intricate, detailed and accurate stories of warfare and intrigue.

Format:Taschenbuch
When I began reading Tom Clancy's books I was enthralled with the author's exciting plots- my summers were usually devoted to reading and re-reading his books as I'd imagine myself in the thick of the action. Since Clancy wrote 1991's "The Sum Of All Fears", his books have become longer, duller and less interesting. I found "Executive Orders" to be his worst work to date. The slow meandering plot is pretty hard to follow- not because it's so complicated. It's not. The problem is that the plot takes so much time getting going that you lose interest as Clancy positions the pieces one-by-one. The actual plot is pretty derivative of all of Clancy's other books, so the ending isn't much of a surprise. The most basic problem with Clancy's work is in his characters. Clancy obviously envisions Ryan to be a blue-collar everyman, just one that slipped into the White House through extraordinary circumstances. Much is made by the author of his hero's status as an "independent". It's too bad that Ryan comes across, consistently, as a doctrinaire, by-the-numbers, straight out of the pages of The National Review, conservative. Clancy, who has always been injecting his right-of-center politics into his books (though more obviously and stridently of late), puts his politics out in front here. "Executive Orders" is more politics than policy. Clancy is on his soapbox and the plot too often gets shuffled to the back for President Ryan to give some loopy tirade about liberal "special interests" (and there aren't conservative ones?). First clue that non-conservatives won't be given equal time: the book is dedicated to Ronald Reagan, who "won the Cold War" according to Clancy. Give me a break. Too bad Clancy couldn't have made his case without his hero's preachy speeches. After hearing Ryan's 1,314th speech informing another character he "is not a politician!" the reader will want to yell back: "Then shut up already!" The character of Jack Ryan has always been a difficult one to judge- heroic by far in Clancy's other novels, Ryan makes the transition from preachy, sanctimonious hero to preachy, sanctimonious jerk in this novel. A Tom Clancy novel hits you hard and fast and the action takes your breath away, but when the plot slows down and we try to get character moments they sometimes seem painfully forced. Clancy characters are written like post-it notes: this is the Good Guy who is a conservative/soldier/CIA analyst, etc. This is the Bad Guy/Girl who is a liberal/Russian spy/terrorist/feminist, etc. Can you really tell me how much different the characters of Jack Ryan and John Clark are from one another, aside from their names and character histories? Not a whole heck of a lot. I'm sure Clancy thinks he's giving America the kind of leader (read: conservative) they want in this book, but Ryan comes across as a breezy, "I'm-doing-the-right-thing and people will see that" conservative whose politics and style bear a striking resemblance to Newt Gingrich. The old Goldwater-for-President slogan "In your heart you know he's right", is a favorite dream of conservatives and Clancy relies on it here. Why does the subplot with the "mountain men" militia group fizzle out so spectacularly? Probably because Clancy can't bring himself to make people whose political viewpoint he sympathizes with the bad guys. In the end the reader will sigh with relief when he or she finishes this monstrosity. I did. My advice to you, don't even pick this one up.

This book is pure dynamite. Clancy, better than ever before, never lets you put down the book to take a breath. Several plots, all in themselves superbly told, closing in on each other towards the last third; a detail in writing that gives you an insight not only in the daily job of POTUS, but also in controlled virus-mutation, covert Army operations, and even a full-scale war and finally perfectly round characters (even supporting figures are described lively) make this book the best Clancy has written so far. Ryan, who has detested presidents throughout his entire CIA-career, develops into a head of state a lot of us would dream of. And even if one hasn't read a Clancy-novel before, you instantly get pulled into a thriller that doesn't let you go from the first page to the last.
IMHO, this is a book noone should miss, along with Glamorama (B.E.Ellis), The Name Of The Rose (U. Eco) and The Sum Of All Fears (guess) probably the best book I've ever read.

Tom Clancy did it again: "Executive orders" is pretty long, but extremely gripping and combines in a sophisticated manner so many different story-lines to a well-woven novel that the reader stays alert and interested throughout the complete book. All schemes are highly believable and after September 11th even more to be thought about. The end is excellent as well... well done! If you have got enough time, don't hesitate to pick this novel!

A little disappointment
My first Tom Clancy book was "Clear and Present Danger". I liked this Army stuff and continued with "Without Remorse" which I found even better. Lesen Sie weiter...

Worth reading, but it'll take you a while...
Whoa! What a monster of a book! Even though it's a compelling novel this one really needs a strong edit since it's WAY too long, probably twice as long as it needs to be. Lesen Sie weiter...

Slow and Preachy
Yes, that's not a typo. Clancy has written a book with over 1,300 pages. And so it should come as no surprise that I found the story slow. Lesen Sie weiter...

Another page turner...
It usually takes me about the first 180 pages of a Clancy novel to really get into it. After that I have trouble putting it down until the last page is turned. Lesen Sie weiter...
