Product Description

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hubby's opinion
My husband finished this book last night and said it "sucked".

Hope this helps.
Published on December 23, 2004 by Christine C. Ortiz

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst books I've read in years.
This is just another of the low quality books put out under the "Tom Clancy" name.

The book is written by Jerome Preisler and is by far one of the worst books I've... Read more
