Summary: My Favorite Clancy book yet
Review: It is true. Clancy strays from his normal hero storyline. I am reading it right now and I just read the part where they attempted to catch the hacker, which kept me reading past 11:00 PM. This book has alot of settings with different characters in each one, I am not finished, but I think all the people meet near the end. My Conclusion, If you like Net Force, You need this!

Summary: Just a good read
Review: Most of these other reviewers are right; it's not the greatest book ever written. On the other hand, it kept me up pretty late. You kind of have to read the earlier books to find out what's going on. There is a young boy that had his first heartbreak, A Russian man that they still have to catch from book one. I think what I enjoyed best about the book was that these are starting to become old friends. I wouldn't want to read all the books at once, because then it would become monotonous, but like this is great.

Summary: The best Net force yet
Review: Net Force 3 was the best net force yet. I like the way he makes the characters more real than he does in his other novels. The plot to set the world into conflict was brilliant and also different because istead of the usual Russian, Chinese, or Arab villian you have an Englishman.

Summary: Tom Clancy¿s, Net Force, Night moves
Review: Net force Night moves was a very well written descriptive book, but I have to say it is not one of his best, compared to his other books I have read, this one was not as action packed and thrilling as his others, Though I did enjoy reading it very much, I think it could of used some more action in it. Net Force: Night s about a futuristic agency created by the FBI, which patrols the Internet. The main story is about a deranged Englishman who wishes to restore England to the world power it once was. The Englishman hires a scientist who creates a supercomputer, which is capable of throwing cyberspace into chaos and cracking anything thrown in its direction. Net Force's main computer man suffers a stroke in the VR (or virtual reality world) while hunting down the Englishman's scientist. I think Clancy is like the master of these kinds of plots or story's. He has the unusual ability to mix in the love problems of Net Force's boss and second-in-command with the main storyline. Clancy is the top gun when it comes to the military thriller and his sidekick Steve Pieczenik is the master of the geo-political chess game. Net Force: Night Moves will keep you on the edge of your seat, if you are really into Clancy's book's and also things about the future, you most likely won't be able to put this book down until you reach the end. Clancy shows puts overshadowing of what the world is going to become, and it is almost scary because it is some what right in that in the future computers will technically run the world, and every thing will be controlled by computers. Although this seems like almost some kind of nerd book it is not, there all lots of cool new inventions in weapons and things like that Clancy throw in there, and there are some really descriptive scenes, just like any other Clancy book .I did really like it and there were lots of cool things in it and some action scenes but I think it could of used more action, for a reader like me, I am really into those books previously written by Clancy like Patriot games or Clear and Present Danger. But if you enjoy Clancy's Net Force series, then you need to read this one. And when you read if you do enjoy it, here are some other Clancy novels you'll enjoy: Net Force: Hidden Agendas; Op-Center: Balance of Power; Op-Center: Games of State; Power Plays: Shadow Watch; and any other of the Op-Center, Power Plays, or Net Force novels.

Summary: A departure from Clancy's style...
Review: Night Moves was definitely different from Clancy's previous books. The first element that was missing was the presence of a central hero. There were too many quasi good guys and as it was pointed out earlier, the evil computer genus was killed by a bad guy thug. And yes, a lot of the story touched the borders of reality.That being said, and the fact that I am not a computer programmer, I happened to enjoy Night moves. Even with the absence of a hero, the minor heroes (Jay Gridly)were very entertaining. While not being realistic, I did find the hunt for the hacker in VR to be a good special effect so to speak. Clancy shifted gears with the Net Force series, and if you liked the first books, you will like this one. I also must agree with a fellow reviewer with respect to the boomerang side story. I kept thinking that the kids were going to become hostages or somehow partake in the action. I was wrong. Nothing of the sort happened. They were just page fillers. All in all I would recommend this story. I must warn you though that it is not the typical Clancy book.

Summary: Skip it
Review: Not up to Clancy standards. The main premise is compelling- What might happen if a technological advancement were developed which could quickly break large prime number encryption, upon which the security of the world depends? A real theoretical possibility... This premise kept me reading right to the anti-climactic end. Some of the characters are interesting, like the Russian fellow who had a great subplot going, but even his ending is a letdown. The 2 main love stories are tiresome, detract from the main plot, and take up way too much ink. The virtual reality subplot is a leap of faith.
Not worth reading.
Currently reading Without Remorse, which is much better so far.

Summary: What's Clancy shoving down our throats now?
Review: Now don't get me wrong. I love Clancy's work dearly. But when he writes this junk to make a buck or two, you have to be a little annoyed. more "Virtual Hackers" plunges into cyberspace, wreacking havoc wherever the go. This book could have been doon in 100 hundred pages. And what the heck is Howard's kid doing taking up page space to dote on "Who is the girl of my dreams?" Nobody cares. Also it had a few too many "Hot" scenes. Come on. These people are profesianals. They don't try to lure co-workers to having sex with them on massage tables. And the perfect Spetznatz agent who can shoot the barreles of five CIA agents before they can blink is an annoying character who lacks deph. The only thing this book is good for is kindling. If you want to read a real book, read CArdinal of the Kremlin. Save this junk for the garbage.

Summary: Not bad-not great.
Review: OK I'm a CS Graduate so a lot of the technical stuff in this book made sense(The "Quantum Computer" is as of now just a theory). The book though seemed to bog down with personal details, how did John Howard's son's social life fit into the plot of the story? Also the little "Love Traingle" didn't add antything to the plot either. Also the "Captains Log" format got a bit weary. The action though was typical Clancy, tight and fast. There just was too much unnecessary development in my opinion.

Summary: I doubt if Tom Clancy had anything to do with this book
Review: Reading this book was a complete waste of time. I am a fan of REAL Tom Clancy writings. Unfortunately, his major success and the book company's greed (and perhaps his own) to capitalize on his name every which way possible has yielded "Clancy Seconds" such as this book. If you have ever read real Clancy writings, you will know that he clearly had nothing to do with this book other than lending his name to it. I believe he created the concept for NetForce (which started off very well) but now they farm these books out to ghost writers. This book had poor character development and weak story lines. Stick to reading Clancy's major titles which are written only by him.
