Sum of All Fears was a major letdown for me at the movies.. Not only did they chop up the story but I can't believe T.C. screwed up the chronology of his books (Producer, wasn't he?) by using Ben Aflek, who is MUCH younger than Jack Ryan should have been in Sum of All Fears. Jack Ryan played by Allec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red "Octobyr" was the first book where he was "young" and recently out of the military himself.
Anyways.. maybe my eyes are a bit jaded but I think Harrisson Ford was the perfect Jack Ryan.. He would have played a perfect president when Jack Ryan ascinds to that position later.
I quit wasting my money on the Op-Center and Net-Force books long ago.. They definitely were not his style.. Rainbow 6 was decent and the Bear & The Dragon was good, and more foreshadowing on Clancy's part.. He really see's things in advance.. especially Terrorism, Biological warefare, and the Ruskies moves..

PS. As for the best book Tom Clancy ever wrote, WITHOUT REMORSE gets my vote.. I don't know what they are thinking passing this one up for a movie.. It would be awesome
(The actor playing John Clarke also didn't fit in MHO)
