Summary: Hope for the future?
Comment: As someone has already stated, this book brings a dark shadow to the series. Having been an avid fan of the NetForce titles from the very begining, I was disapointed in some ways with this latest offering. The action feels mechanical, and you keep getting that feeling of "...havent I read this one before?" even though many of the details and characters have been changed. On that note, if you are an avid fan Im afraid you'll be a little disapointed in the send off of Alex, Toni, and General Howard. It is a hollow farewell to say the least. The series has always been great in character development but I would have to agree that this book spends too much time on trivial details that dont need to be expressed. IF THERE IS AN UPSIDE.....and there always is, it is in the way things are dealt with toward the end of the book. As a director Alex Michaels was willing to bend the law at times - As the new director Thomas Thorn is willing to bend it around until it starts making snapping noises. All in all, a good read, but not the best. I do hope the series continues though, there is potential here.

Summary: Not the best in the series, but still good...
Comment: During the trip home from Orlando, I was able to finish up Tom Clancy's Net Force: Changing Of The Guard. This is part of his paperback series that bear his name but is written by others. The setting is about 10 years in the future, and the action revolves around a government office called Net Force. This group uses computer technology and the Internet to track down criminal activity. In this installment, the NF group has obtained an encrypted disk with the names of all the Russian spies throughout the world. The breakdown of the code is going slow, but a certain sleeper spy in the US is willing to do anything to keep the government from learning of his involvement. When the top NF codebreaker is nearly killed in a kidnapping attempt, there is an all-out attempt to find the killer and the person who might have hired him.
Generally speaking, it's a good read. It will make more sense if you've followed the series, as there are references to past people and events that you won't know about otherwise. It doesn't kill the book if you haven't done the reading, but it helps. I personally like near-future techno-thriller novels, so this one works for me. It's not as action-packed as others in the series, but it is still a pleasant diversion.

Summary: SAD CHANGE GOOD BOOK
Comment: I HATE TO SEE THE OLD CHARACTERS GO BUT THE NEW ONES COULD BE FUN. THE BOOK WAS MISSING A LITTLE SOMETHING BUT ALL IN ALL I THINK IT WAS A GOOD BOOK. THE WRITER WAS LONG IN THE TOOTH ABOUT USELESS DETAILS ABOUT THE NEW DIRECTORS HOBBY.
