<<If Pelecanos's book sold for $1000 and Clancy's for
$1.99, Pelecanos
would still be a bargain in comparison. Bad writing is worth
nothing.

This sounds like someone who's never read Clancy and assumes
that since he
sells millions, he must be bad. Read RED STORM RISING. One of
the most
exciting books I've ever read. DEBT OF HONOR is a fascinating
"what if." Give
Clancy a try. He can be technical at times (just as technical
with his
submarines and aircraft as, say, McBain is with his police
procedures and
police forms) but he's a great storyteller. I like Pelecanos
too, by the way.
