Summary: Not Clancy but OK for a light read
Review: First thing to establish is Tom Clancy did not write this book. I don't know why he puts his name on it, but the "Net Force" books are OK if you want something that is easy to read and doesn't make you think too hard.

The books are best read in sequence - I made the mistake of buying "Night Moves" and reading that first, before I realised it was a series.

I like the parallel stories a lot and the romantic angle between Alex and Toni prevents it all from being military tactics (which I also enjoy a lot).

One disappointing thing for me about "Net Force" is the name of the military head "Col. John Howard". Well, I am Australian and "John Howard" is the name of our Prime Minister. Whenever I read the name, I imagine a short, balding little weazel! Maybe Clancy and Steve Perry should check stuff like that out before they name their characters!

Conclusion: Good for a light read when you don't want to concentrate too much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hidden Agendas By: Tom Clancy
Review: This was an interesting book. It was easy to follow and not that hard to comprehend. It starts in the year 2010 and tells of the Net Force, the group that is in charge of the safety of the Internet. A conflict arises when they have to figure out who is hacking into the Internet.

One character who stands out in my mind is Alex Michaels. He is the Commander of the Force. He is an honorable man who wouldn't stop working until he found out who was hacking into the Internet. Also, he wouldn't let his affair with a co-worker interfere with his job. This shows that he is both a hard worker and an honorable man.

I truly enjoyed reading this book. Once I got into it, it was extremely difficult to put down. When I chose this book, I thought it was going to be stupid, so I didn't want to read it, but I'm glad I did. I would recommend this book more to adults then children. It doesn't seem like a book someone younger would enjoy, but I think that older people would enjoy reading it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Can summarize This Book in One Sentence...
Review: About 300 Pages of great story telling, but then an extra 200 page of complete nothing.

Most of the book was great and entertaining, but for a good part of it I read stuff that didnt seem to have any relevance to the plot whatsoever and could quite frankly be left out of the book without changing the story at all.
But I did enjoy the book overall, even though it should only have been a 300 page book.

Summary: Clancy - Be very ashamed
Review: If you normally read Clancy because he writes well researched, feasible and well paced thrillers, then don't bother with this one. Clancy should be embarrassed putting his name to this pap. It is a story that is not only very unlikely but is poorly imagined and poorly written.

Write it yourself next time and read your ghost's copy before going to press.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An entertaining book.
Review: The year is 2010 and Net Force's Jay Gridley is cruising along in his viper, looking for clues. He's in a race with fellow computer geek, Joanna Winthorp, a tall and beautiful woman, to find out who is behind this latest adventure.

This Tom Clancy created (not written) novel continues the series with a new adventure for the gang at Net Force. From budding office romances, to armed assualts, you'll tag along with them as they search for clues to who is leaking classified and potentially deadly information on the internet.

All in all this is an enjoyable book and and easy read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS A GOOD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: i cant beleve some people. this is a good book.. some people said that they have read tom clancy before then start to bad mouth him what is up with that? you should be ashamed of yourselves!!! he has gave you thrills, chills, excitement and adrenaline before. and now instead of saying something like "it wasnt his best", or "it could have been better". you go after him like your a lynch mob or something, jeezzz. you make your own book and see you you go better.if not. give the guy some slack and have some respect for the man!!! becouse he churns out books like there is no tommorrow, why? becouse from demands from people like you. so give him support! not every book can live up anyones expectations.....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Shiny Cover is the Best Part!!!!
Review: I was dazed and confused by the shiny cover I saw on the discount rack. The shiny cover had Tom Clancy's name; so I threw my dollar down. I understand now why it was on the discount rack. There really wasn't much of a plot. Weight lifters and interoffice romance. Usually, I am happy with my dollar book purchases, but I really couldn't find any reason for this novel.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Oh, please....
Review: Like a government agent on the trail of a deadly terrorist is going to stop and take the time to write a new VR 'scenario' each time he searches the net for a clue? Please... I really like the concept of a high-tech fiction genre, but so far I haven't found an author with even a hint of technical believability. Clancy should pull his name from this series immediately!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: where are you tom?
Review: This book can best be described as James Bond meets Marvel Comics super heros. Some of the reviewers seem to think Tom Clancy is writing this junk. He is not writing it, he is just making the money. I cannot believe he lets his name be put on such a poor book. The rediculous scenes about virtual reality are just too much to bear. This book even has a magic dagger that saves the day for the team. C'mon Tom, save your good name and get back to writing your own stuff.
