Product Description
Product Description
Encryption technology keeps the codes for the world's security and communication systems top secret. Deregulating this state-of-the-art technology for export could put a back-door key in the pockets of spies and terrorists around the world. So when American businessman Roger Gordian refuses to put his sophisticated encryption program on the market, he finds his company the object of a corporate takeover--and to say it's hostile doesn't even come close. Only Gordian stands between the nation's military software and political extremists who want to put the leadership of the free world out of business--for good...

Boring, unimaginative, under researched, predictable and dull. There is no need to say any more

I didn't buy this book from Amazon, fortunately (I think), but this book is dire, terrible, no suspense, difficult, no links, no real point or plot, in fact, I couldn't even understand it. I have every single Tom Clancy Book, and they are all brilliant, but these recent books defy belief. I suggest you stop buying any of the powerplays, as I really beleive that Tom Clancy is on a slide. Go out and buy a Dale Brown instead. Sorry, but that's how I feel. I couldn't beleive how bad this book was.

ruthless.com may sum up the intent of the characters in this tale but for anyone hopeing that technology has anything other than a superficial role, the book will be dissapointment. "ruthless.companies" would be more to the point. Having said that, once the plot starts to fall in place after the first four chapters things do start to get interesting. The mainly eastern settings lead occasionally to confusion with character names but it is worth sticking with. The end is a little predictable with the good guy's winning and a large element of revenge with no clever twists or revelations. Ok for a book for the quiet moments on holiday as in my case but nothing special and not convert material

This was without a doubt the worst book I have ever read.It has absolutely no character development,an extremely thin plot and it is awefully difficult to understand. Read more

Avoid this book like the plague.
The first novel I read by Tom Clancy was The Hunt for Red October. This was excellent by any standard you choose to measure it against and it held me spellbound. Read more
