Tom Clancy's Net Force series surges on like a powerful locomotive, losing none of its impact or ability to surprise. With this, the eighth, listeners experience the threat of a world which may be poised on the brink of disaster.

Thanks to a commanding reading by Sam Tsoutsouvas all is plausible, nothing impossible. A founding member of John Houseman's The Acting Company, Tsoutsouvas has numerous stage appearances to his credit both on and off-Broadway.

Samuel Walker Cox is a powerful man with a past he does not want brought to light. But some things can't be kept hidden forever, especially when the past involves being a Russian spy. Cox is not only powerful but he's totally unscrupulous, willing to do whatever it takes to protect his name. He believes laws weren't made for him and lives are unimportant.

Cox is the opposite of everything Net Force represents - who will win and what toll will the battle take?

Non-stop action for listeners.

4 of 5 stars for the book Net Force #8: Changing of the Guard by Tom Clancy (Audio edition). Let's start with the fact that I am a big fan of Tom Clancy and a fan of the Net Force series. I have been reading the series in sequence as there are continuing characters and sub-story-lines. The main focus of this book is several of our Net Force staffers have decided to retire leaving the agency and introducing new replacements. Our techie Jay Gridley continues with Net Force. The plot of this book is relatively simple and also not as interesting as the previous books in the series. A disk with encoded data is obtained by Net Force which will reveal the identity of many spys. Those who lost the disk want the information to remain secret and learn that Gridley is working to decode the data. They send an assassin after Gridley to keep him from decoding. All in all a good book and worth the read. Its not the best in the Net Force series.
