It will stand alone but you may want to start closer to the to the beginning of the series with Patriot Games or Red Rabbit. The remainder of the series in internal time order; Hunt for Red October, Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, Sum of All Fears, Debt of Honor, Executive Orders. there are two that follow the Bear and the Dragon that I have not yet read. These are Command Authority and Full Force and Effect. (less)
