Good book and good continuation of the series - will definitely continue reading and hope they start building out the characters a bit more in the next go around.

I like the flow of the action, on how intriguing the plot is. I also liked how a few relationships formed in the middle of the story. It's like watching them develop with each other. The setting was mesmerizing, a workplace!! The VR thing was really great and kept me interested. But, I don't know why I kept having this book down for no reason. Maybe because I'm getting bored already. The ending was great, but I kind of wanting more. I think it's best if the ending includes the proceedings of Hug...

Ok, this is Net Force #2 in the series, Hidden Agendas, and let me tell you… there is nothing hidden nor sacred about this one. What is it with all the sex? Note to Mr. Clancy and friends: just because a woman is beautiful and smart does not mean she is desiring of extensive, intimate, physical contact with available male types. In fact, I’d say the “smart” quotient precludes the unmarried sex factor. I know, I know, the books are intended to reach out and touch the average American male libido

This story and plot was outstanding!

This book was pretty disappointing. The internet security premise definitely hasn't aged very well. On top of that it wasn't very well written, with a few POV characters and story arcs that could have been cut from the story because they were so pointless. Also, I felt like the main character's hard-on for a 90's Miata was a bit overblown and once again, pointless.

yikes! where do i start... right this book is not great, not even good. too many plots which doesn't add to the story at all (I'm looking at you Tyrone... a boomerang? really??). this book is a mess, the story is really stupid and feels like its going nowhere....and the ending.... well yeah the "climax" is more like a bump. when i finished i thought: is that it? catching the bad guys is done in 10minutes or less... we getting more romance in this book than actual action. im definitely disappoint...

Good action and flowI like the flow of the action. Not much of the personal relationships kind of reader. The tech is solid on all fronts and it kept me interested. The VR explanations were spot on and captured my imagination. If you like computer tech mixed with the digital solider, you should like this one. It left enough like ends that I will catch the next on soon.

The year 2010 may be a point in history now, but Clancy and Pieczenik produced a wonderful storyline in this novel written in 1999. For this reader, there is nothing quite like books that can incorporate espionage, suspence, and intimacy into one piece of work. If there was one flaw, the ending could have been more detailed, but Hidden Agendas is worthy of being a classified a sequel that delivered the goods. I certainly look forward to the third installment of the Net Force series. Stay tuned.

In my opinion, you either like Tom Clancy or you don’t. I think is has more to do with the topics he writes about. If you do like him, most of his books are pretty good. You might like some more than others, but just about all of them are suspenseful and gripping. 9 times out of 10, you’ll be very glad you read his work.

This book was a sequel to the first book in the series net force and expanded the thrilling and intriguing storyline. Steve Perry wrote this book in the 90's and set the story to take place in the future in 2010 where he envisioned that computers would be the super powers of the world. But people like hackers, terrorists and cybercriminals use the internet to organize and commit crime. To prevent this from happening, Net force was created by the U.S. government to prevent the crimes committed of...

good story

This book has aged badly. The technology comes across as comical in 2019. The VR scenarios where two guys duel in the wild west—one guy representing a firewall—is absurd. This is only the tip of the iceberg when dealing with the nonsensical technological aspects of the book. If you can forgo all that, this is a fun/fast pace read of a book. I didn’t read the first book in this series as I got the book from my brother’s wife and had no idea it was a series, but it’s easy enough to get and there’s...

Like all the other Steve Perry novels I've read, NET FORCE: HIDDEN AGENDAS is competent but uninspired storytelling. The external threat feels rather tacked-on, and most of the book is spent simply exploring the characters (even ones who have no impact on the overall story). There's enough office romance here to set the stage for a soap opera--which I don't think is the sort of thing Tom Clancy fans are clamoring for. Thankfully, most of the characters (with the notable exceptions of Jay Gridley...

As always, there was an excellent cast of characters. This overrides any errors concerning technical issues that many computer savvy folks like to point out and pan the author for. Good plot and a well developed story. Need to use a better proofreader as I found sever grammatical errors. Overall it’s a very good read.

I rated this book I liked it, but with reservations. The basic tale was okay, but there was so much high end computer stuff that was way above my head that I needed to skips lots of passages. Billions are stolen through internet computer tricks, which Net Force works to find the culprit. Difficult to understand the initials and the switch from real life to computer scenes.

After reading the prologue I was like this should be good. But after that it was just progressively worse and worse. The technology was a bit sidelined in my opinion. Also the way woman are represented are just not positive. So I decided it was not worth my to committing to it. Well I was reading I ended up skimming so much of it which is also not a good sign.

I am reviewing the novel Net Force Hidden Agendas by Tom Clancy which is a very good thriller which I bought from a car boot sale. This book is part of the Net Force series and is set in 2010 and is about an organisation called Net Force which polices the internet & contains a small number of elite troops called Net Force Strike Team. This book was set in the future when it was published and is about a world where terrorists use the internet to communicate and launder money etc. The basic plot i...

Not unreadable, but too far fetched for my tastes.I think this is the second book in the Net Force series and it shows. I didn’t read the first, but generally the first book in a series is full of action, etc. while the second often spends more time developing characters and going into back-stories. That was certainly the case with this book.The book is based on an FBI special ‘Net Force’ team that is made of computer geeks that are supposed to protect the internet from bad guys. Now, a book on

Still a solid Tom Clancy book, but definitely a bit weaker and slower than the first installment of Net Force. Many plot points left open in the first book start to close, but not in the most natural and well constructed way. The first half of the book is too uneventful, the second too rushed. Worth the read thou

Okay, I'm just a sucker for this stuff. I bet other folks would give it a 3 or 4, but this is squarely in the list of my favorite type of book. I'm a Steve Perry fan (he is only credited in the acknowledgments, but it's clearly one of his books) and a Tom Clancy fan, and together they make up for Perry's lack of detail and Clancy's sexism, to create a really fun ride with characters I really like. This is the first book in the Net Force series, a follow-on series to the original Net Force book a...
