Good further development of main characters; could live with a little bit less about the firearm details, but that is part of the Clancy style, so just skim over those parts to stay on top of the story. Would read again.
Most of the book has nothing to do with the boring and implausible plot.
The book is a sure thriller and I was recommended by someone who spoke very highly of the series. It is not disappointing and in 2016 the technology mentioned in this 2001 book is still not outdated!!! Very impressive on that front. And the story line is also quite good. There are some twists and turns but nothing very surprising.I like the characters and I think I will start from the first book of the series.
I like most of Tom Clancy's book (the newer ones somewhat less) and I tried to read this book. I have been aware of the fact that it's not written by Clancy when I bought this book, but his name is on it, and I thought, maybe it fits with his own books. Not so. At least not to me. The style is very different, and I just couldn't bring myself to like it. So no more Net Force for me.
great read well done net force
This book was 60% good. If it was a school assignment it would be a D. Although a C- would be more like it. The main story was OK, but the details--about Net Force and its operatives--were very weak. First off, it was mentioned numerous times that things were "slow" at Net Force headquarters, which isn't a usual state of affairs at any government agency, not to mention it's not admirable. Secondly, the fact that all the female characters (more like the ONLY major female character) were sidelined...
I thought this book was wordy, sometimes boring it just drug on. At times there was a religious aspect which I thought was unnecessary the overall story is just OK.
Net Force So-So
This is less "net" than CSI-Cyber, which is to say not technical at all, except for the fantasy sequences where virtual reality was used for data reconstructions - what horse dung.This mostly a good-ol-boy army (FBI) operations and guns book, with more action and better weapons than some army units see.
Another unfortunate book that dragged on with boring page fillers. Things went so sloooowly as it rambled on with little deviations everywhere. Could not make it beyond the first few chapters. Very obvious that this is yet another case of simply using an established name to sell mediocre books.
A good book and I continue to enjoy the development of the characters in the storyline. The idea of NetForce continues to only play a small part - hope that the future books this plays a bigger part.
Once again very entertaining.(Note: I'm stingy with stars. For me 2 stars means a good book. 3 = Very good; 4 = Outstanding {only about 5% of the books I read merit this}; 5 = All time favorites {one of these may come along every 400-500 books})
A different type of Net Force book. Jay has grown up and joined the regular force. They are after a strange chemist who has made a super drug that turns you into a Superman. They have noticed that several people can do strange things when on the drug.
Tom Clancy remains one of my favorite authors and Point of Impact is another installment of the Netforce (Number 5) series. Previously I have listened to the audio book version of several of the Netforce books. Unfortunately, I listened to them out-of-order that Clancy had intended. Well, a few months ago, I sorted the books into the order intended and have been listening to them again. I'm about half way thru the series. Since the Netforce characters continue thru the whole series, it makes alo...
Lots of stilted dialogue, plenty of 4th grade boy body humor, but the sexism and total lack of understanding of the female perspective was irritating.
Good action though a little slow to start. The story line behind the characters was not as critical and was not gone into much. It tied NetForce into the story line well and although not the NET centric type story line, there was enough to keep the computer geek busy and play a critical role.
Not as good as some of the previous ones in this series. On the plus side there were no long chapters about General Howard's son and his boomerang career.. On the downside there was very little 'Net' in this book and it could have been any other run of the mill law enforcement 'v' drug dealer novel.
Not of interest to me; drugs, sex, guns. Did not finish reading.
Solid but uninspired entry on the Net Force series - many of the characters we grew closer over the last four books are absent, and there's very little development on all fronts, except on Michael / Toni and on the villains. Speaking of them, although I really liked Bobby, Tad was pretty bland, and the whole plot feels a bit mystic and forced, a new low even for Net Force standards. I enjoyed reading it because it's a Tom Clancy book and because I'm already invested in the series, but definitely...
