The dragon meaning deviates in every region. However, usually when you get a dragon tattoo, it can mean that you have a bold, loud, wise yet calm, passionate, and fierce personality. When you talk about tattoos, they are very personal and they can mean anything the person wants them to mean. You won't be disapointed.Photo by carol wd from Pexels What Does My Dragon Tattoo Mean? Tom Clancy is my favorite author, and this book has only reinforced that belief. If you liked any of the Jack Ryan novels this is a must read. That was pretty sad after reading the first 10 books back to back over the last 6+ months on a nightly basis. I can't think of anything I dis-liked about this novel, except knowing at the end that there would be no more for me to read.

Perhaps it might be a enjoyable book full of unimportant references you miss, but I feel the others are needed. It's hard to be objective about that after reading them all. I have to say, I don't think this book would be very complete without the preceding books, but all of them are worth reading. To see Sergey Golovko as Chairman of the KGB or General Bondarenko in charge of a whole army, where both were previously low level employees of their respective services was very well done.
Having recently read "The Cardinal of t he Kremlin" (1989) it was pleasing to see characters much further along in their respective careers, here Clancy seems to be aware of the passing of time for characters in his world, even if they have not been in all of his novels. Many characters have been carried over from the last novel, but many have also developed over several novels. I was especially pleased with his character development. I easily have 40 hours into this book, and I enjoyed every minute. He could easily have spun this into two books, there was so much going on from beginning to end. This book feels much longer, and I found myself staying up late night after night to read it for for 28 days, and I read very fast. While we hear a little about him in The Teeth of the Tiger, and he stars in Red Rabbit, this marks his final chronological appearance in the series.Īfter the events of Executive Orders, the bar was set high, but Clancy delivers. This novel is a very fitting end to the journey of Jack Ryan.
Blending the exceptional realism and authenticity that are his hallmarks with intricate plotting, razor-sharp suspense, and a remarkable cast of characters, this is Clancy at his best-and there is none better. If they fail.the consequences will be unspeakable. If they succeed, the world as we know it will never look the same. For even while he dispatches his most trusted eyes and ears, including black ops specialist John Clark, to find out the truth of the matter, forces in China are moving ahead with a plan of truly audacious proportions. Were they political enemies, the Russian Mafia, or disaffected former KGB? Or, Ryan wonders, is something far more dangerous at work here? Ryan is right.
Things are unstable enough in Russia without high-level assassination, but even more disturbing may be the identities of the potential assassins. Newly elected in his own right, Jack Ryan has found that being President has gotten no easier: domestic pitfalls await him at every turn there's a revolution in Liberia the Asian economy is going down the tubes and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR-the former KGB-with a rocket-propelled grenade. In The Bear and the Dragon, the future is very near at hand indeed. Time and again, Tom Clancy's novels have been praised not only for their big-scale drama and propulsive narrative drive but for their cutting-edge prescience in predicting future events.
