4.0 out of 5 stars A VERY BIG STEP UP, December 17, 2004

By	BRIAN "engwootton3" (baltimore, md United States) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst "Clancy" book I have read, April 10, 2007

By	R. nydam "Bobdeployed" (Iraq) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good Clancy - Wild Card, April 15, 2005

By	Loraine Dumas (Nun's Island, Verdun, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews

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.
