Summary: Write your own books!
Review: I have read about half of Tom Clancy's other books and they were phenomenal for the most part. I am an attorney and a pretty good writer. Cybernation was one of the worst books I have ever read. I read the entire book since I really wanted to give it a chance to get better; it didn't! I know a little about the U.S. computer infrastructure protection plan and this book was childish at best. I make no apologies for being so harsh, but if you let someone put your good name on a book, you should read it first. Not to worry, every page has its own cliche. The final page of the book ended with, not to ruin it for you, "Yep. And they lived happily ever after." Great ending! What creativity.

Summary: Unbelievable! It's so Bad!! :-(
Review: I wrote my review about 40 pages from the end of the book. I must now revise it and remove all points. This has got to be about the worst book I have ever read!!!I picked this book up because it was sitting there, I was out of reading material, and it had Tom Clancy's name on it. I was skeptical when Clancy hadn't written the book, but I thought that if he put his name on it, he believed in it. There is no story here. Nothing happened. Nothing! ... A few disconnected scenes of people practicing martial arts, some guy drinking beer in virtual reality bars looking for clues (ridiculously stupid angle), and a conclusion that must have been written in one afternoon because the author was bored. The problem is, as is customary, I read to the end of the book to find that out. ... There were some parts that held some promise, but there is no coherency, and the conclusion is so bad that I wanted to destroy the book and any credibility it has. ...

Summary: Is this Clancy???
Review: I've read more than half Tom Clancy's collection, and this book has nothing to do with the exceptional skills found in Red october or Red Storm Rising, even the first net force book! It's just an ok book to read, but is still too far with the books we used to read. Tom Clancy, please, stop "creating" aand please start writting the books again!!!!! It'd be rally appreciated.

Summary: Great concept, avg book
Review: Imagine...a nation created in the virtual space of the internet. Without geographic boundaries, people all across the world unite by some purpose, interacting across the globe. That's what I thought this book would be about. Instead, it's a cat and mouse story about hackers trying to outdo each other. Sure, there's some reference to what a cybernation would be like, but not enough. Unfortunately, the book's background is more interesting than the plot and story itself.

Summary: CyberNation - a new fantasy?
Review: It is understanable that since CyberNation is one of the episodes of Net Force and the main concern is the Net Force, the depth of the meaning of CyberNation is not fully developed and explored. CyberNation, substantially a good topic, is not only about the cat-mouse game, but also a story of human's colonization of the cyberspace. The interactions (or communications) between the CyberNation and the outside world is still limited to computers. Computers are some what physical; however, I think the idea of cyber is far more than physical, viz. metaphysical. Of course, it is impossible now to upload our consciousness into the cyberspace and let our consciousness live alone in the cyberspace. But, may be one day we will separate our awareness from our bodies to live in the cyberspace and become a "real" cybernational. I like the slogan the most: "Anywhere, anytime, anybody you want to be - CyberNtion can take you there." (93) Isn't it a fantasy that we desire?

Summary: If you know anything at ALL about computing, STAY AWAY!
Review: It must be very difficult to bring deeply technical issues to an insanely non-technical reader base. In all of the Net Force books, Steve Perry tries to do so and fails. If you know nothing about how the Internet works or the basics of networking, and don't mind being fed absolute bull, then go ahead and read this book. But, if you know anything at all about these things: RSFE (Read Something Else).

Summary: Decent
Review: Not really sure what is going on here with his writing style. I kind of preferred the old plots like Bear and the Dragon. It is not that I don't like the technology based books but this is not why I started to read his books. I hope he goes back to old mainstay with the CIA etc.

Summary: Weak writing and disappointing.
Review: On the plus side, the book was interesting enough that I finished it. However, when I bought the book I failed to read the small print and assumed the book was written by Tom Clancy. I think it is a somewhat sleazy trick to print Clancy's name so prominently on the cover. The writing is poor, and at times laughable. Even though I finished the book, I would not recommend it.

Summary: one of the best books ever
Review: overall i thought the book was excelent. the book kept me on my toes thinking about what was going to happen. the book was action packed with not only the whole gun slinging scene but also in the scence of how Tom portrayed the world years from now. I love how he made everything electonic. and how everything was made into a thechnologicaly advanced system.
the plot kept moving making the book a page turner. the only thing i disliked about the book, but made it flow however, was how it would jump between charators. beyond that i loved it.
