About the Author
Since the phenomenal worldwide success of his first novel, The Hunt for Red October, Tom Clancy has become the world's fastest selling author. Clear and Present Danger was the best-selling book of the 1980s, and The Sum of all Fears, Without Remorse and Executive Orders also topped bestseller lists worldwide. Three of his novels have now been made into highly successful films: The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. He is also the author of SSN and the non-fiction books Submarine, Armoured Warfare, Fighter Wing and Marine, and the co-creater of the Op-Centre series. Tom Clancy lives in Maryland, USA.

Format:Paperback
Of the 3 Net Force books this comes out second best. A good story - assuming you can accept the basic premise of the book - that the world revolves around the Internet and that people will try to use it to change the balance of world power. If not then read something else. The technology is futuristic and the human sub-plots are typical Clancy. Those familiar with the Op-Centre Series will see many parallels in Net Force.
In this episode .... An English Lord uses a new breed of super computer to try to make the British Empire great again, but the computer scientist who made the new computer has another plan [which we never really hear much about]. The scientist recruits the Lord's chief of security for his own goals. But just as things get interesting the Net Force strike team arrive on the scene and the whole story is wound up. The Chechnyan assassin called "The Rifle" who escaped in the first Net Force book appears for a major role as someone who is just too good for real life.
All in all a good "throw-away" read, but don't expect anything too in-depth.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
There are two primary reasons for not reading this book. The first is that it is totally missing the primary element of the most successful Tom Clancy novels, the fascinating technical detail of the main story line. All you will get in this book of that sort is more information than you ever wanted to know about sights on hand guns. The second is that the main story line is not developed enough to be interesting. A super hacker is disrupting the world's ability to function. Other than describing some of the consequences of that: Airlines aren't flying, you can't transfer money, etc. that's all you get.
The computer aspects of this book are atrocious. There is supposed to be a quantum computer involved, but you get no decent development of that point. The search for the hacker is conducted primarily in cyber-space through virtual reality metaphors for big game hunting. To me, that takes something interesting (the hunt for the hacker) and makes it ordinary. This was a terrible plot device.
If you are interested in the computer aspects of future crime, this book is a poor representative of what can be done. The book is clearly written for people who have never used a computer. That's a shame.
The primary story lines in this book that are worth reading relate to a master assassin who the Net Force wants to interrogate. Some of the scenes here rival The Day of the Jackal. If this had been the whole novel, Clancy and Pieczenik would have had a winner.
If you want to read every Clancy novel, go ahead and read this one. If you are not so compelled, go ahead and skip it. This book is resistible.

Format:Hardcover
Based in 2011, the book brings new posibilitys to Clancy. There are still the clasic elements of Clancy, like the special ops teams, going out to solve the problems. The main caracter Jayson Gridley, is a computer genius, he walks through the internet, looking for clues.
As normal in a clancy book there are many plots at once, from boomerang expo's to quantum computers, yet they all merge together.
Again Clancy has amazed readers.
I would sugest the book to any Clancy fan, as a briliant read.

This was one of the worst books I have read in a long time. I'm surprised Tom Clancy didn't take his name off this.

A very dissapointing read
