Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A very readable book
Review: This is by far the best of the Net Force books.The Russian bad guy helps to sell the story. Alex Michaels is a very good central character. The netforce team is also very entertaining. One of the highlights of the book in my eyes is the hired killer the Selkie. The Selkie's of the mob boss and his mistress added to the book. Toni beating up on the Selkie was another unexpected high point on the action scale. A very good book after you get past the first 100 pages. The last 2 Net Forces have been total bombs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring would be a good review.
Review: Great idea but misleading title (should be called "Net Bore")......the book started boring and ended even worse. This book reads as if it were written to meet a writers deadline. Too many uninteresting and unimportant side plots that go nowhere and end suddenly. I finished the book because I felt guilty for spending the money on it. Thank G-D it was a quick read. Not one of Clancy's best writes. Can't believe it came from the same authors as "The Hunt for Red October."

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yawn. Read a little more. Yawn again.
Review: I have to admit, this is one book that I did not finish, and I usually read a book all the way through. Whether I finish it out of duty to the author, or plain stubbornness, I'm not sure. However, in this case, I made an exception to my rule. It should have all been there: intrigue, hacking, etc. etc. But I just could not get into this book one iota. I could really care less if everyone in this book gets shot and all the computers blow up. And can we stop with all of the Dodge automobile placements? Was this sponsored by Dodge? I just couldn't get all the way through this, and I don't think going any further would have changed my mind.

I'll give it a ½ star. That's just for the premise.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful tripe.
Review: Clancy must have been smoking something strong when he let his name be put on this one. Agree with the classification of this one for the kiddies. Must be at least 99% Pieczenik. No Clancy here at all.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Net Farce
Review: I cant beleive that someone like Tom Clancy can actually lend his name to such drivel. The research in to this book seems to have been derived from a boys mag, and some of the sub plots seem rather childish. THE "Selkie" is described as an utter proessional who never makes a mistake...big laugh. Two stars for a couple of good chapters highlighting the dangers posed by cyber terrorists but all in all... one for the little kids

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hehe. depends on who y'are.
Review: it was good for people who really like far-fetched plots and weird sci-fi stuff. on the other hand, if you dont, then this book is your worst nightmare. losta tech stuff so interesting but poor character development, some cool gadgets. most of the book is about computers so if you dont like them, dont READ.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: I read this for a reading assignment and was immediately hooked. I'm not sure if it's part of the Op-Center series, but if it is you'd never know it. Mr. Clancy does a great job tying in the characters. Net Force is a book anyone who likes computers would like, and the lingo isn't too hard to understand for those who aren't into computers. Enjoy! This is a great book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sit back and enjoy the ride
Review: Hey,

I work in the field of technology and computers. True the Net Force Book is FICTION (some reviewers may need a dictionary to understand that word) But it is not far fetched. I have seen similar technology being used today. Look what 10 years of refinement has done for computer storage media. That kind of a jump can happen in VR netware in there is an external influence which drives it.

The book itself was excellent...the relationships between Toni and Alex as well as Tyrone and Bella were right on the money. Sgt. Frenendez and Col. Howard gave it the guts or glory energy it needed.

And when you finish with this book read the second in the trilogy 'Net Force - Hidden Adendas' It deserves 5 stars!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Recommended
Review: I am a big Tom Clancy fan but just could not get into this one. The Net Force characters were unbelievable and to my eye pretty inept. The hero/main character was not likable and the plot didn't pick up. The ending is just that, an ending. Again, not up to Tom clancy's usual energy and level. I wouldn't recommend it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 100% BS - It is actually 0 stars.
Review: The last time I read Clancy was years ago, I dropped his material because of the inaccuracy and BS themes. I made the mistake of picking up this piece of trash and I have to say, he is at his absolute worst. The BS just gets more and more farfetched. Stay away from this one unless you are so gullible and ignorant as to think that there is any resemblance to real life in any of his works. Anyone with any kind of government or military background will quickly realize that this is pure BS. The characters, plot, anything about his books.
