TOM CLANCY'S POWERPLAYS When an anonymous e-mail alerts UpLink Technology's operatives to suspicious activity on an exclusive island resort, Pete Nimec goes undercover to investigate. Located off the coast of Trinidad, Rayos del Sol is not just a playground for the world's richest and most powerful people - it's also the headquarters for a joint fiber optic and oil refinery project run by UpLink and Sedco Oil. What Nimec discovers is a plot to drain oil from the United State's strategic petroleum reserve and sell it to outlaw nations. And when the island's highly trained security force is sent to take Nimec out - heaven on earth erupts into hell

A VERY BIG STEP UP,
By BRIAN "engwootton3" (baltimore, md United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild Card (Tom Clancy's Power Plays, Book 6) (Paperback)
This book blows away that other piece of junk that carried the POWER PLAYS name. This was a well thought out book. I enjoyed it a lot. What might happen with Roger Gordians daughter and Tom Ricci, maybe nothing but maybe something. It just might be there to show he's coming around, I hope so I like the character. The only bad thing about this book, no Rollie Tibadeau (sp), but you know who I mean. This is definately a improvement.

Worst "Clancy" book I have read,
By
This review is from: Wild Card (Tom Clancy's Power Plays, Book 6) (Paperback)
Although I have read only a few of the "Clancy" knock-offs, I have to say this is the worst. I cannot believe Tom Clancy allowed his name to be associated with this book. It was plain boring.

Not a good Clancy - Wild Card,
By Loraine Dumas (Nun's Island, Verdun, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild Card (Tom Clancy's Power Plays, Book 6) (Paperback)
Unfortunately, a badly written story. Not one that I would recommend. I read everything that comes out from Tom Clancy, and I am generally happy - from satisfied to delighted. This time, not, even though the plot was quite interesting.
