Query: Far-fetched? I think not...

There have been people who complained the technical descriptions and the high page count of Mr. Clancy's books. However, the descriptions leave me more convinced of the possibilities, and the high page count is balanced by good characterizations. I care more about the characters in the Jack Ryan universe of books than most other writers who make similarly described techno-thrillers. Anyway, the major plot of the book is about Arab terrorists re-fashioning a lost nuclear bomb for higher explosive yield and re-spark the Cold War. I just read a Reader's Digest article titled "Tale of the Radioactive Boyscout" which described a boy who tried to create a micro-powerplant by obtaining fissionable materials from common everyday objects like smoke detectors. That article and this book gave me chills.
