Summary: Shadow Watch
Review: This book was the absolute worst book I have ever read. The characters were horrible, the dream sequences were horrible, but Tom Clancy is a great writer except when he is writing this series. There is absolutely no way I will ever read another Power Plays book.

Summary: second weakest of the op center, net force & ruthless series
Review: This books is not as bad as the Net Force - Hidden Agenda paperback. Some of the characters and the technology are interesting. The plot moves along nicely. Nevertheless, it is a far cut below the better of the Op Center books. Being disappointed with the two most recent books starts to raise some interesting questions about whether I will buy the next chapter of each of these franhises when they come out... As someone who has read Clancy books relgiously since the beginning, i am beginning to question where this is going.

Summary: Bad Review
Review: This is absolutely the worst book I have ever read. I want my money back! The one star is actually a negative 10 stars.

Summary: I recommend you not spend time or money on this one.
Review: This is another Clancy book I can't recommend. The plot was not believable and it ended with a whisper. This did not have the feel or readability of a Clancy book. The characters and plot were trite and the villian was pretty pitiful. Try harder next time guys will you! I'm not going to buy any more books from you just because your name appears as the author on the front cover! I recommend you not spend your money or time on this one.

Summary: great book, poor ending
Review: This is my first Clancy novel and now intend to read the rest of them because I was so impressed. The beginning and middle are great and there are several subplots going on at once that all tie together eventually. However, as I got to page 335 (out of 355), I was beginning to wonder, how is he going to end this with only 20 pages left?! He ended them in 2 and it was a bad ending in my opinion that made me feel it was wrapped up way to quickly. Other than that, I recommend this book.

Summary: Thoroughly Dissapointing
Review: This is the worst Clancy book yet. Not that any of his more recent work was much good, but this one is truly bad. There is little substance to the book and it appears that it was simply hammered out so that he had a new book to sell.Don't waste your money on this book.

Summary: Not worth reading
Review: This one's a dud. Tom Clancy had less input into this book than presidential pooch Millie did to Barbara Bush's "Millie's Book." It's sad that Clancy lends his name to such mundane, formulaic, episodic writing -- which would never see the light of day but for Clancy's name on the cover as "collaborator."
For technical bloopers, check the authors' blaming of the Hindenberg disaster on "the ignition of hot hydrogen gas." In fact, the rapid burning of the Hindenberg resulted from the fact that the bags containing the hydrogen were coated with flammable cellulose nitrate or cellulose acetate -- not from the hydrogen itself.

Summary: GREAT!
Review: This was my first Clancy book and I thought it was great! It keeps you in the action at all times. I could never put it down!
Rating:
Summary: Not realistic
Review: To see how unrealistc this book is just read the last page of it. The Bolivian Drug-Boss promised for a lot of money to every country in war that he will destroy their opponents technology with his new Micro-Wave Device attached (secretly) on the new United States satelite.

Summary: Bait & Switch
Review: Tom Clancy used to be one of my favorite authors--but I'm not sure he's working anymore! I have read Shadow Watch and a few other books 'authored' by Tom Clancy and a contributor. It is like really poor ghost writing. Compared to the 'real' Tom Clancy, these are a pale imitation! The plots and characters are amateurish. After reading my second book where Tom Clancy has collaborated with another writer, I am disappointed that his skill level has sunk this low. Avoid them!
