2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, March 8, 2005
I am an ultimate Net Force fan. I loved the first seven books; it was my favorite series at the time. Book 8 let me down a little bit but this one was just awful. None of the characters are anywhere nearly as interesting as the initial characters. Thorn is much less interesting than Michaels. Fiorella adds a subplot while Lowe adds nothing. Fernandez is now a guest star. Kent is an extremely subpar substitution for John Howard. The new Gridley is a joke compared to the old hotshot. The antagonists have no depth. Michaels needs to get back in the picture and save the series from sticking itself farther down the tubes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Spring-bored, February 5, 2005
Are they kidding? This series has turned into Net Farce. In no particular order we get a Chinese computer geek who breaks into mega secure US government systems as well as some heavy duty commercial systems with consumate ease, a lecture on religion, or lack thereof, our hero, Jay Gridley, getting a new pair of VR glasses which may or may not let him catch the Chinese computer geek, several lectures on parenthood and is it more important than the job, Abe Kent stalking and killing the bad guy from the last book (or was it two books ago) after the bad guy first steals Abe's socks without taking his shoes off, a Chinese general who hatched the whole plot (plot? plot? don't ask!) and bites the big one (really!) while in Net Force custody, and oh what a lovely romp. Gawd, this series is going to the dogs. I think it's picked up a virus and needs to get its hard drive wiped and reformated.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow, this book is absolutely horrible, February 21, 2005
By Matt P "Matt" (Central Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
Admittedly, I haven't read anything else in the Net Force series, but this book was just disgraceful. I bought it on an impulse by at the gas station, and started reading it. What a horrible mistake.

There is no semblance of a plot or cohesion, and forget about character development. Mostly, all of the characters sit around 'grinning' at each other. This is one of the maybe 1 book in 200 that made me want to put it down and throw it away. That is not good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is clancy?
Not necessary to repeat the prior reviews--I gagged and tossed this disjointed book mid-way through, wondering if Clancy, HIMSELF , will write again. Hope so.

2.0 out of 5 stars This one is a flop
This is easily the worst entry into the series. The plot took the team into an arena that is not their forte. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really Clancy
I was dissapointed when I picked up this book. I thought--wow! A new Clancy---but it's written by someone else, and Clancy's name is slapped on the POS. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Net Force Goes Red State

2.0 out of 5 stars A point to make
I have agree that this is the worst book of the series so far, but if you'll examine the credits a bit more, you'll see that Clancy isn't responsible for this farce. Read more
