Summary: What's the motive?
Review: After reading the first two books in the NetForce series, I was looking forward to this book. I was rather disappointed for two main reasons.First, the entire book deals with a genius hacker who is wreaking havoc all over the world. The problem is that Clancy never tells the reader exactly why the hacker is doing this. We are presented with an extremely wealthy and obnoxious Englishman who is presented as being nostalgic for the good ol' days of the British Empire. He is financing a genius computer whiz who is taking out communications satellites, airline and train computers, etc. causing hundreds, if not thousands of deaths, but that's it. We're told what they are doing, but never told why they are trying to destroy the world's computer infrastructure. A man doesn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a super computer that can break any encrypted code and cause such trouble just for the heck of it. He has to have a reason. Not being given a reason was aggravating. Second, I understand the need for the personal relationship struggles between Alex and Toni. Real people wrestle with personal relationships even if they are battling mad hackers in virtual reality Wonderland. On the other hand, this type of novel does not need to turn into a Harlequin Romance Series, and by the end of the book, it was getting close. If Clancy can get back to the point of the series, and have the NetForce fighting computer terrorists with an actual motive for what they are doing, it will be a great relief. I usually save my books for later reading. I read this one on a cruise and just donated it to the ship's library. It isn't good for much unless you are interested in following the ups and downs of Alex and Toni's love life.

Summary: One Crazy Book
Review: Annotation:A super genius computer hacker tries to take over the world by takeing over major computers across the globe. The Net Force opperatives must track him down and stop him before it is to late. Autor Bio:The book Net Force Night Moves was written by Tom Clancy. Tom Clancy is the number one on New York Times best selling authors. Tom has created many books that envolve a form of law enforcement that has to take down the terriost threat. He is a great author. Evaluation:The book Net Force Night Moves was an all around good book. It took a little bit of time before the book got started before i got interested in it. Also I would get confused when the charcters would jump in and out of the virtual reality when trying to catch the hacker. The characters in the story were decent, they all worked well with the way the book was put together. I like Tom Clancy and the way his stories are very intersting.I would recommend this book to a person who likes a twisted computer hacker story.

Summary: Not one of his best.
Review: As a MAJOR Clancy fan, I found this disappointing. I felt the "Romance" between Alex and Toni, flat and boring, the tenison ie:jealousy too contrived. Now the "love" interest with the teens had more substance and validity. I found the Cyber RW vs VR entertaining and some of the most interesting chapters of this book. I was also very beguiled by the Russian assassin, felt his pain and sadness. Intrigued by his abilities, what does it take to make a human into this kind of killing machine? None of which was clearly answered in this book.

Summary: Clancy In Name Only
Review: As other reviews have already noted this book is a decent read but definitely not up to Clancy's usual caliber. I would venture to say that this is due to the fact that although Clancy's name graces the front cover... it's not written by Tom Clancy. The Netforce series, whether general fiction or young adult, look to me to be written mostly by ghost writers. Steve Perry is in charge of the current "Netforce" general fiction, while a whole host of others handle the young adult "Netforce Explorers" series. It seems a little underhanded but that's marketing for you... Tom Clancy sells, Joe Nobody sits on bookstore shelves and gathers dust. As for my review of this particular novel, I enjoyed it for the most part. It was a definite improvement over the second book in the series and I particularly enjoyed the reappearance of the Russian assassin from the first novel. Over all, not a bad book, but if your looking for a true Clancy novel, don't let the name fool you. As a side note, if you're looking for a good cyber-thriller I'd recommend Virtually Eliminated by Jefferson Scott.

Summary: Harrassment Moves Plot From Espionage To Mediocrity
Review: Cardinal of the Kremlin, Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games, et al. this is not. The central plot -- one of cyber espionage, those who conduct it and those who investigate it -- is enticing but somehow runs afoul of meaningless, and in some cases crass side stories. Instead of focusing on catching a computer genius bent on upsetting world order, protagonist Alex Michaels is locked in a seedy triangle: gain custody of his daughter from his former wife following an acrimonious divorce, maintain "relations" with Toni his martial arts lover, and dodge the tempting sexual advances of a British agent. It becomes quickly obvious that Michaels isn't bright enough to solve a computer crime and, indeed, Clancy depends on a cast of others to do the heavy lifting in this dime novel. Col. Howard, an African American leader of the Net Force tactical team is perhaps the best character in the book; certainly the most human. But his son's boomerang fetish and own love interests are hardly relevant except to humanize the Colonel. Between the Zen, Guru, martial arts philosophy and tracking down virtual reality tigers and dinosaurs to counteract the terrorists, I kept hoping for a solid finish. Sadly, the reader is given the standard, brut force SWAT raid on the bad guy's mansion instead of a cleaver computer based bust. In short, Night Moves moves afield of Clancy's other tight, gripping novels. His Net Force and Ops books clearly take him away from the quality, well reasoned novels of the past and move him into the mass production trash that litters the bookshelves.

Summary: Night Moves (Tom Clancy's Net Force, 3)
Review: Coming from the author who wrote Hunt for the red october, this book is down right pathetic. Dont waste your time reading this book. Also, there are horrible inaccuracies in this book. One example:"Moksha" is translated as "enlightenment". Moksha actually means "release from the cycle of life and death".

Summary: diction and dialect
Review: Diction, different ways of speaking a language, and dialect, the author's word choice, all affect this novel extremely. Because of the fact that it has a dual setting in both England, and Quantico, Virginia, make the author's word choice one of the only ways that the reader can discern between the two settings.
In this passage, the diction used implies that we are in the U.S. "You're in the Neuro Ward at the base hospital. You had a CVA, a cerebrovascular accident. A stroke." Compare that to a different passage a little bit farther along. "Not much, my boy. I was ringing you up to see about that, ah . . .small matter we discussed recently over supper." What a difference! Just by reading the two quotes, one can immediately distinguish that the first was set in an Army Base, in America. The second set in a castle in England. The use of the words my boy, ringing, and supper insinuate that the reader is now in a different place, where people speak with different drawl.
The dialect used in this novel also helps us distinguish from the settings, but it also allows the reader to discern between the upper and lower classes. For example: "Oh, and Applewhite? Se if you can't drum up major Peel. If you should happen across him, tell him his lord wishes to dine with him." Compare that to this quote. "Come on ya blimey old codger! Give us your money afore we beat your bloody coat red!" This almost automatically allows the reader to tell that the first was the higher class, and the second, the lower.
Diction and dialect were two dreadfully important literary devices in this novel. Had the author not used these devices, the readers mind would be a jumble of places, and people.

Summary: Extremely Disappointed
Review: Have you ever listen to a dishonest politician speak. That's the feeling I got from this audio book. It's like you asked a legitimate question, and he is going round and round with you and giving you stuff that is hardly relevant to the subject matter. If there is a rating for minus stars, I will give it the -5 stars. One audio tape would have been more than enough for it. Tom Clancy is getting greedy.
