Fact or Fiction:

"Line of Demarcation" by M.P. Woodward is a continuation of the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan Jr. storyline and is one of the more entertaining novels in the series since Clancy passed away. While the action and tradecraft are fun, what is really compelling is the modern-day and realistic storyline focused on state competition for natural resources in 3rd world countries. A highly recommended summer fiction read. (Amazon Link)
