Summary: Night Moves missing Op Center feel
Review: Some may call Night Moves the less-than-expected sequel to Clancy's Op Center series. For those who enjoy Clancy's precison detail to technical issues, this book glazed over some action that could have been better elaborated on. Night Moves was more black and white when it came to "good vs. bad," without the strata of conflict his characters often face. The only exception was the personal conflict characters like Toni and Alex face, which may make this an excellent read for those who felt a little intimidated by Clancy's previous works.

Summary: Mmm...
Review: The book makes for light entertainment, but does not compare with previous works. The virtual reality sceneario of catching a computer hacker is an interesting way to depict a very complex and technical operation.To me, factual correctness is important in a novel. In London, patrons do not spill out of a pub after midnight, as described in the book. The pubs close at 11:00 pm, and most Londoners make it home before midnight because the Underground stops running at midnight. Only a few nightclubs have licenses to remain open till 3:00 or 4:00 am.

Summary: Interesting storyline that could have been given more time
Review: The idea of the computer-world being brought to it's knees is an intriguing one. This novel, however, doesn't begin do it justice. I didn't find the characters as well-rounded as other characters that have shown up in Clancy novels, but it could have happened if the writing team had devoted more pages to the book allowing the necessary details that weren't there. Does every female have to be drop-dead gorgeous and every male fantastic in the use of guns? Unfortunately the plot suffers a lack of detail as well. I rated it two stars because I did finish the book in just a few days, but it was not nearly the riveting read that Executive Orders and others were.

Summary: Trouble in paradise for Toni & Alex
Review: Their May/ July (not really December) affair is in trouble due to another woman putting the moves on Alex without him really reciprocating. Meanwhile, Col. Howard's son Tyrone meets a nice girl to help him get over vain beauty Bella. But can he really get over her? One humorous note, though. The new girl has this strange stopwatch. No batteries, no solar power. Would you believe it has a SPRING and you actually WIND it! Otherwise, VR whiz Jay Gridley is after this hacker and the guy sends him a mild stroke online. Which knocks him out of the box, and if too many people take this part of the story too seriously, it might start a Luddist phobia against VR that will more than counter the bunch who've made a secular religion out of gizmos. That would be a shame--what about those of us who aren't computer enthusiasts but find the gear...er um...useful?

Summary: Net-Net, You Can Skip This One
Review: There are two primary reasons for not reading this book. The first is that it is totally missing the primary element of the most successful Tom Clancy novels, the fascinating technical detail of the main story line. All you will get in this book of that sort is more information than you ever wanted to know about sights on hand guns. The second is that the main story line is not developed enough to be interesting. A super hacker is disrupting the world's ability to function. Other than describing some of the consequences of that: Airlines aren't flying, you can't transfer money, etc. that's all you get. The computer aspects of this book are atrocious. There is supposed to be a quantum computer involved, but you get no decent development of that point. The search for the hacker is conducted primarily in cyber-space through virtual reality metaphors for big game hunting. To me, that takes something interesting (the hunt for the hacker) and makes it ordinary. This was a terrible plot device. If you are interested in the computer aspects of future crime, this book is a poor representative of what can be done. The book is clearly written for people who have never used a computer. That's a shame. The primary story lines in this book that are worth reading relate to a master assassin who the Net Force wants to interrogate. Some of the scenes here rival The Day of the Jackal. If this had been the whole novel, Clancy and Pieczenik would have had a winner. If you want to read every Clancy novel, go ahead and read this one. If you are not so compelled, go ahead and skip it. This book is resistible.

Summary: Night Moves (Tom Clancy's Net Force, 3)
Review: There was once a time when I was an avid Tom Clancy reader and even put up with the Op Center series which was far below what I saw as the Clancy standard. Net Force is another case entirely. This series, and this book in particular, is terrible. The plots are ridiculous, the characters are shallow and unsympathetic, the writing is formulaic and overall it appears that the authors "phoned it in". No more for me!

Summary: Don't buy this book
Review: This book is devoid of Clancy. There is no hero. The villian is vanquished by another villian, who is vanquished by ANOTHER villian. The depiction of cyberspace patrol, even in a VR world is totally unrealistic. The Net Force team gets absolutely nowhere with their case. The reading is slow, the action boring, and the supposed good guy loses out in the end. There's even a totally unrelated side plot consisting of a petty teen relationship. Definately NOT Clancy's team's best. Clancy is know for being realistic and having done his homework. This book is not worthy of that name. If there were a zero star rating, this book would get it.

Summary: Blah Blah Blah
Review: This book keep lagging on about stories that did not even include the main plot of the story. Many of them about some pretty dumb relationships. The ending was not as exciting as other Clancy books so to get to my point..Don't waste your time on this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Good, Very Good
Review: This book was good, very good. It was far better than the other two net force books (net force 1 and net force: hidden agendas) I was reluctant to buy this at first but I enjoyed and will buy the next one. If you were burned by the first net force you will like this one.

Summary: "SHADOWRUN" REVISITED
Review: THIS BOOK WAS MUCH LIKE THE SOAP OPERAS THAT CLOG UP OUR AIRWAVES. IT HOPPED AROUND AND HAD POOR CHARACTER GENERATION. IT WAS ALSO REMINISCENT OF THE FANTASY SERIES "SHADOWRUN" W/O THE MAGIC. NOT WHAT I HAVE COME TO EXPECT OF THIS AUTHOR'S WRITINGS, BUT WE ALL HAVE A BAD DAY. UNFORTUNATELY MINE WAS CAUSED BY READING THIS BOOK. ON THE PLUS SIDE IT WAS STILL BETTER THAN MOST AUTHORS' GOOD BOOKS.
