Well it just so happens that I am reading a Clancy novel right now. "Rainbow Six". Had just finished Volume 1 of Dante's "The Divine Comedy", I got the translation by Mark Musa, and he is praised pretty well for his work on this peice of literature. His notes on the text are helpful if you need them and they also provide history for the true-life characters included in "The Inferno" as well as the stories of the mythical beings that are found in the poem as well. It is very interesting and gives you some knowledge about Italy around the time of Dante's life as well as the stories and poets he himself respects and learned from. Oh and "Rainbow Six" has a lot of good action in it, more than the other Clancy novels I have read (not many) and so far it is turning into a very entertaining read.
