5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sci-Fi Virtual Reality book I've Ever Read!!!!!
I think this book is awsome and is a great book for people who are into tech stuff. I thought the last 100 pages were so exiting and freaky that I couldn't put the book down!! Everyone who likes the idea of VR should get a copy of this book and read it as many times as seen fit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not up to usual Tom Clancy
This story line is so far off Clancy it was a chore to read. If your going to write about the future, don't do it on a script set 1000 years ago.

Hidden Agendas i have purchased and read all 4 of the Net force explorers seris so far and very happy with it so far but more so i am more eager to read the next installment of the net force novels following Hidden Agendas.. i love it

4.0 out of 5 stars Take a break, March 25, 2004
Control your armys, crush your foes, and strike fear in the eyes of those who oppose you. Then log off, brush your teeth, take a break then lunge back into the world of Sarxos. Tom Clancy really grasps the world of science fiction in his Net Force book The Deadliest Game. I would recomend this book for one and all. The mystery lover, to the action seeker, all readers can love this book many times over.

By A Customer
This is a great story! It tells about the future, during which a giant online computer game causes someone to get angry and attack people because of the game. If you like books, then you need to read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tom Clancy really knows how to capture his readers., December 17, 1999
Tom Clancy did an amazing job on the young adult Net Force series. The technology is amazing in this book. He also makes it so that you feel like you're actually are in the scenario. When I read this book, I felt like I was actually playing the game. This book is a book that will make a perfect gift for any young adult sci-fi reader. Definitely 5 stars. There was one con though. It was a little confusing in one part, but not all that much.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great deadly game, March 9, 2001
I read the book The Deadliest Game from the series Net Force. It was a book about two kids who fight online crime. And in this book they get a very dangerous case. In this case they try to catch a guy who has taken an online virtual reality game to serious. This guy is ruining other contestant's computers and even hurting others. I liked this book very much I thought it did a great job in conveying the futuristic virtual reality Internet. Also it did a great job in creating a great suspense mystery. This story takes many interesting turns. If you were interested in reading a future set mystery I would definitely recommend this book. I think in this book having teenagers be the detectives are a symbol. A symbol for teenagers and kids becoming more smart then the adults. So if you want a book to read check out The Deadliest Game by Tom Clancy

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dominion of Sarxos will never be the same, March 6, 2001
By A Customer
The Dominion of Sarxos is a virtual reality game where people go there to get away from the real world or to meet up with people but the real purpose of the game is when many different armies lead there team into battle but everything is becoming to real people that have beaten a team named Argath the captain of that team have been getting bounced and attacked, Megan o Malley and Leif Anderson both net force explorers are asked to investigate by john winters net force official, they must travel around the game and warn other army captains about the attacks and tell them to look out for themselves Megan and Leif both warn a army captain about the attacks and tell the player to watch out for herself well the player does not take this warning seriously the next day the player was brutally attacked by the bouncer and in the hospital unconscious Megan and Leif was find this bouncer fast before the game really begins. I would highly recommend this book to a person that is into VR games and likes awesome technology you will not want to stop reading this book. It is a very good mystery novel that is suspenseful and interesting it may be hard to understand it but if you look back in the book and read it very carefully you will understand it and start to get very hooked to it. Hey I am not some kind of writer but if you ask me I would definitely give this book a tow thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my most favorite Net Force Explorer's books!, October 1, 2002
By 
In the year 2054, virtual game the Dominion of Sarxos is the most popular wargame on the Net. Thousands of thousands of people spend hour after hour playing Sarxos, either leading armies into battle or doing hundreds of other activities. But something terrible and sinister is going on. Some Sarxos players' computers have been destroyed by burglars; one player is even attacked outside of the Net! The Net Force is worried about these players being 'bounced', what if someone gets killed in these attacks? So they send in Net Force Explorers Megan O'Malley and Leif Anderson to investigate. But they must be extremely careful if they themselves do not want to be the next targets...

The Net Force Explorers is a great Young Adult fiction series, especially those with a love for computers and the Internet. Since the Net presented in the books have no boundaries, you will never know what to expect next. With a well-thought out plot, this story has plenty of twists and turns, having the whole plot well balanced with mystery, excitement, and adventure. But I can't really say any more or I would ruin the story! :)

The characters of the book is what really makes the book more fun to read. Meg O'Malley is a terrific Net Force Explorer with her quick wits, sharp tongue, and martial arts talents. I especially found her very cool and I loved the part where she jokes about her brothers. Leif Anderson, though not really as tough as Meg with her fighting abilities, is more computer literate and has a special flair for different language. Meg and Leif are a great team and I wish there was a bit of romance between though the story the way it is is very satisfactory. I can't wait to read more about them in the series!

The series is for Young Adults and I strongly recommend only older kids read it since there are many occasions where a few bad words are sprinkled here and there. Not that bad but still in a way a bit annoying to have them in the book. But I still highly recommend it for older kids for I'm sure you'll love it!
