Query: Even the characters are complaining about being bored!!

Okay, I am sorry to have to write a bad review, but this is Tom Clancy! for pete's sake. How did the editors allow for this to get by?It's not badly written, but I am only half way through this story and I'm stopping the pain now. This is a 500 page novel and the first 200 has been nothing but introduction of new characters, who are each basically going through on-the-job training....Even the characters (Jack jr and his twin cousins) complain about being bored.It's obvious that this is simply a way of moving on to a new set of characters to write more novels about, and I am sure Tom Clancy's future books will make good use of these characters, but unless you really need to get to know these guys from the start, I do not recommend wasting time with this book. Sorry Tom.
