Reader ReviewsTom Clancy's name is splattered all over the cover of the sixth in the Net Force series. If his only motivation is to let the publisher use his name for the money, I hope he's getting very little. This book is, in a word, terrible. Speculative, science, and techno-thriller fiction are some of my favorite books; this book isn't convincing on any front. Sure, language has changed with the advent of the Web, but the egregious overuse of made-up jargon, describing concepts that are probably not close-in enough to spawn the casual, nickname-ish use prevalent in this book's narrative. Gratuitous jargon, gratuitous sex, and labored narrative just don't cut it. I pity the poor guy that picks this thing up in an airport newsstand and gets stuck with it for hours.
