Summary: Not up to the usual
Review: If you're a true Clancy fan (The Hunt for Red October, Rainbow 6, etc.) then this is not the book for you. While still good, it lacks the intrigue, suspense, and depth we've come to know and appreciate from Clancy. This is truly a very scaled down version written for young people.

Summary: Clancy's name cannot help this from sinking
Review: Ok, I've given Clancy a chance with his net force project, but it is obviously not a good example of his work, nor good writing. Although the plots investigate corruption and high tech crimes, I am still unsure of the target audience (possibly 12 year old boys) based upon the level of writing. If you are a die hard fan, skip this one. Otherwise it will damage your impression of all other Clancy books. Tom clancy, if you read this, I'd like my money back for all those net force books. Please spare us!

Summary: An ok book, by Clancy
Review: The Book Net Force The Ultimate Escape, by Tom Clancy, is about a group of friends that are in a virtual aviation program called the net force. One of the friends, named Julio moved to Courteguay because his father was running for president.
During one of the aviation programs Julio appears desperately in need of help. Everyone in the program believes the appearance of Julio is nothing but a rift, but when they enter another program and see Julio in worse condition they take action. The team gets the police involved and the police contact the special forces. When the special forces officers find out that the Cortezes are in fact being held hostage, they get a team of Navy Seals on alert right away.
Julio shows up in another flight program and tells the team to tell the forces to not send anyone to get him or else he will die.
If you want to find out what happens to Julio and the Cortezes read Tom Clancy Net Force The Ultimate Escape.
I felt that the book was ok, but it lacked a cohesive story line, because often the story jumped from one subject to another which detracted from the excitement of the main story. I thought this produced uninteresting sub-plots that took away from the details of the main story. I also felt this book did not develop the characters as well as it could have, therefore I would not recommend this book. The most interesting character is Matt Hunter. I am fascinated that he is able to handle being a net force explorer at such a young age. Matt is only thirteen years old and all of the other explorers are around seventeen and eighteen. He has to know about hundreds of planes and jets and be able to fly several. Along with that, he has to do very well because of the high expectations of his parents. I hope this review will guide you well and help you in the future.

Summary: This is a high tech book set in the future.
Review: The Ultmate Escape is the best Tom Clancy book that I have read. It's about Julio, the son of a father who is running for president of Courteguay, a small island nation that does not accept high technology. Julio is captured and sent to a virtual prison with the rest of his family and the U.S.A. has to rescue them before the elections. Julio virtually escapes and tells some Net Force Explorer friends he meets in a flight simulator that he is in a prison. His Net Force friends think Julio is a Rift, a bug that connects the mind and the programming so you can imagine anything. The Net Force makes a plan to get them out but a million things can go wrong. It is very exciting and full of interesting technology. I would recomend reading the other Net Force books first.

Summary: Review Of A Bad Book
Review: This book was OK. I got it after reading Cybersspy, which is also a Net Force book. That book trapped me in and I couldn't get out. This one never hooked me in. I read it because I had it, not because I liked it. If you want a good thriller, get Cyberspy or I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan. If you want this, go ahead and get it, but you might regret it in the long run. Believe me. And click yes on the "Was That Review Helpful To You?" because, believe me, this review will help you. Steer clear of this book. Do me a favor, don't buy this.

Summary: A book that makes me wanna keep reading!!!
Review: This thriller written about a young boy and his family trapped in a virtual prison in the socialist country of Corteguay, takes place in the year 2025 when computers are our main source of daily activities. When Julio Cortez realizes he's being trapped in a prison by the Corteguayan government, he seeks imediate attention to his friends for help. Matt, Andy, Megan, Mark, and David are all shocked about what he has to say and plan to make every move possible to help their friend. The only way they are able to make contact with him are through simulated flight missions of past wars. Julio himself has had success in such simulations, but in Corteguay, technology is scarce as the citizens there have remained to tools from the 21st century. Almost all contact to the outside world is impossible. Julio's father, Ramon Cortez, is running for president here in Corteguay's first public election. The pressure on the family is intense as they face torture and death. This makes Julio's friends time limited.
