Summary: Could Have Been Better
Review: Having experience in reading other Tom Clancy works, I can safely say that this is not one of his better works. The overall plot and idea of the novel is one that would work, if it had been thought out better, have been a bestseller in itself. However, because of this being a part of a series all based on the same group encountering different entanglements, it is easily seen that this novel was written on the fly, without a lot a regard to classic writing. There are many parts of this novel that could have been left out and the book either remain the same caliber or have gotten better. A couple of these items included the sexual-enticements by co-workers and the placement of the commander's son in a boomerang competition and being in a new school. For a novel that is placed in a time when sexual harassment in the workplace, what is it saying when a member of a government department engages in more than that while on the job. Also, what is the point in placing the commander's son in this novel? Other than showing how John Howard does have a son and how little he is around him, it does nothing for the essential plot of capturing a criminal. This plot has the beginnings of something great; however, it falls a little short of being a work that could be noticed in the world of literature.

Summary: main plot was interesting, but not enough
Review: Having read one of Clancy's previous novels as well as seeing the Net Force movie despite a friend's advice, I found some of this novel really good reading. The side plot of Jay Gridley was great. And the Rushkyo guy was fun to read too.However, the very ending of the book, about Alex and Toni and Alex's ex-wife left me perplexed... where is Clancy going with this! Other than "humanizing" some of the characters as one other reviewer mentioned, I'm not sure that it's entirely relevant. Same with the boomerang kids. Unless they're going to jack into VR and help their parents solve some crime, it's not really needed in the storyline. All in all, not a bad book, but not a great one either.

Summary: Don't bother reading it-I didn't
Review: I read the first book in the net force series, and I thought that it was ok but that it just wasn't up to par. I haven't bothered to even read the next two in the series, but from what I have heard, they are worse than the first one. I think, just like a lot of other Tom Clancy fans that Mr. Clancy needs to stick to writing his own books rather than stamping his name on someone else's book. My advice is that if it says Created by Tom Clancy and... don't read it-yor are just wasting your time. All of Tom's other books that he didn't co-write, such as Clear and Present Danager, are much much better and I would recommend them any day.

Summary: Medium - Action is DFF, Relationships are DFB
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed Net Force: Night Moves other that one thing. The primarial focus on Toni Fiorella and Alex Michaels. Come on. Please. Toni won't let Alex explain? She quits her career? That was the bad highlight of the story, the whole Fiorella/Michaels angle. It took up most of the story and stunk the whole place up. However, the central action was exemplary, and We saw Mikhal Ruzhyo return in this thriller. I enjoyed this book based on action. I also liked the part about Tyrone and Nadine. A little high-school never hurt anyone. I do not like Net Force Explorers, because the constant changing of authors and views just ruin it. So far, it's apparent that Tom Clancy is losing his edge on thrillers. I suggest you try 'Tansfer of Power' by Vince Flynn. He is the next coming of Tom Clancy, and only has the tiniest bit of relationships in, not full-blown.

Summary: Tom Clancy Scores again with this espionage thriller!
Review: I wouldn't have cared for this book if my cousin had not given it to me. I thank her greatly for that. This book is the god of espionage thrillers. I didn't give this book five stars because the storyline was a bit boring, until you turned the page! Kudos to Tom and Steve for this great parchment!

Summary: Good Book...it's just a different mindset-
Review: I've always been a huge Clancy fan, and admired the way he could take a multitude of complex plot sequences and tie them into a coherent and exciting tale. His Net Force (this book included) hasn't let me down. If you are looking for the grinding detail and intricate plot that is Classic Clancy though, this might not be for you. It you want something fun and easy to read this was great...I enjoyed getting to know the characters better. Only drawback to this book was that it didn't quite have the bite of the first & second in the series.

Summary: Very disappointing!
Review: I've read many of Tom Clancy's books, and enjoyed many of them. But not this one! This is simply the worst Tom Clancy book I have read. The highly technical descriptions that I count on from Clancy are missing from this book. Most glaringly, the virtual reality descriptions in this book are simply not believable.

Summary: not his best
Review: I've read some of his other books that have been better. The story was a little disjointed. He had some characters like Mikhaly Ruzhyo, and a few others that had great potential, but he got too many things going at the same time and too little time for each of them to develop properly. I did like the way he portrayed Lord Coswell, the English billionaire. He figured he was a law unto himself and seems to have gotten away with murder (kinda like what's happening here in the United States). I enjoyed the book but it wasn't his best.
