a good collection
Clancy is always fast paced and technically correct but those books he "co authored" with others leave something to be desired in my estimation
Africa becomes the battleground of twenty-first century war. As fiber-optic cable is laid down around the continent, two entities fight to control it. One is UpLink International, headed by Roger Gordian. The Pan-African fiber-optic ring is his most ambitious-and-expensive-endeavor to date. His nemesis, Harlan DeVane, is penetrating the network. To ensure his success, DeVane makes his move halfway around the world. He hits Gordian where it hurts - and kidnaps his daughter. Now, Gordian must trust his UpLink team as never before.

DeVane trades in black-market commodities with terrorist and rogue states, and the cable offers him unlimited access to a most valuable product: information. To ensure his success, DeVane makes his move halfway around the world. He hits Gordian where it hurts-and kidnaps his daughter. Now, Gordian must trust his UpLink team as never before, as the fight on land and sea to save his daughter and turn the tables against DeVane..once and for all.
