On the shores of a barren, snow covered Russia only the sound of the waves brushing the dirty snow could be heard. Far off in the distance through the Arctic Ocean fog the lights of an oil platform could be seen with a ghostly glimmer.
On the platform only the shadows of the cranes and pulleys could be seen by the waning crescent moon. The low rumble of helicopters began to echo through out the deck. The Blackhawks flew directly over head and kept going dropping you in the freezing ocean.
You could hear a slight commotion on the deck; caused by the tired oil drillers. You begin up the ladder with small icicles underneath each rung. As you peek above the top rung you see no one on deck.
You recall all the objectives you must complete:
Find and neutralize the North Korean General and his brigade that is holding the Russian crew captive, pirating the oil, and transporting it back to North Korea to supply its tanks with fuel for an invasion of South Korea;
engage the lifeboats so workers can escape to shore;
plant bomb and destroy the oil platform so the Russians have a little less oil and will be forced to purchase American oil for a higher price than OPEC coutries because of the Russian public's current displeasure of Mid-Eastern countries current support of Chechen rebels.

What do you do?
A: Engage lifeboats
B: Find and kill the North Korean leader
C: Locate hostages
D: Set explosive

Man this is easy. No wonder Clancy pumps out five books each year.

Definitely D. It'll add a race-against-the-clock element to the story.

You creep over to the previously assigned point where you are suppose to strap the bomb. You find a pile of disorganized wooden crates. You hide it inside and activate it. The LCD display starts blinking 30:00 and starts counting down.

What do you do now?
A: Engage lifeboats.
B: Find and kill North Korean leader.
C: Locate hostages.

Clancy puts out only 1 book every 2 years. Netforce, Power Plays, etc. are not written by him. Notice they say created by Clancy and written by another author. Netforce was formed as a mini-series and someone under license made them books.

Hey, where did America get the oil? Did they finally get rid of the environmental wacos and start drilling in Alaska, off the coast of California, and off the coast of Florida? :p
