I'm thinking of Sum of All Fears, due to the fact that it has to do with Israel and is being made into a movie in May.

I forgot about that one. Read it a while ago.

Also finished Op Center: Line of Control.

Read Polikita... has to do with the USSR's politics I think... never got it.

If you're lookin for another author by chance, read "MONSTER" by Shanyika Shakur. It's about a kid named Monster, real name: Kody. Great book.

Here's a link:

The only one I ever read was Debt of Honor.

Something which appears to be less read, but it was increadibely prophetic...

I would have to disagree, although it isn't as good as most of his others, i still like it, and think it is worth reading.

Well, it isn't realistic. The naval warfare battles are rather bad in the sense of realism. This was different than all of other Clancy books.

I haven't read any of Tom Clancy's books, but here are some other good books to read:

(J.R.R. Tolkien)
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings: *

(Paul Zindel)
Raptor
The Doomstone

NOTE: The books by Paul Zindel can be quite gory at some points. ;)

[add]
* = L.O.T.R.: The Fellowship of the Ring
L.O.T.R.: The Two Towers
L.O.T.R.: The Return of the King
