Beyond providing the introduction of Ding Chavez and the first extended appearance of John Clark, Clear and Present Danger showed that Clancy is capable of dealing with difficult ethical questions. While some of his later books seem to justify illegal covert operations, in Clear and Present Danger, he demonstrates how dangerous it can be when the intelligence agencies operate without oversight. On top of that, the book has a great spy story as covert teams take down the drug cartels and Ryan tries to uncover who is behind the operation.
