1) Paperback Book Changing of the Guard: Net Force 08 (Net Force) by Berkley. This book was one of the worst in the series. However it is important to remember not to criticize Clancy. He doesn´t even write the books. This one is in fact written by Steve Perry. It is just "Tom Clancy´s Net Force" because Clancy is the one who first created the series.¤ 2) Paperback Book Changing of the Guard: Net Force 08 (Net Force) by Berkley. I have read all of Clancy´s books and most of his Net Force books and this is the worst one by far. Fortunately I was able to read it quickly since I could skim over most of the book since it was material unrelated to the plot. The books spends a ridiculous amount of time on fencing, guitars and a VR world that to me is completely ridiculous and unbelievable. Look elsewhere.¤ 3) Paperback Book Changing of the Guard: Net Force 08 (Net Force) by Berkley. Okay, I´ll admit I knew before I picked up this book that I was leaving the real world behind and taking a trip down the road of great imaginations, but come on... a guy teaching himself control his own brain waves? While the majority of this book has some good sub plots and suspense, I found the outcomes a little to predictable. The "good guys alwarys win" seems to hold true with this series and while I like to see the good guys win, this particular book doesn´t offer much to leave you guessing about what might happen next... though I´ll still pick-up one of the other books in the series in anticaption of a better plot.¤ 4) Paperback Book Changing of the Guard: Net Force 08 (Net Force) by Berkley. As a somewhat core fan of the 2 Net Force series (the regular novels and the younger Net Force Explorer series) I was more waiting to see what the latest installment would bring for the future´s Net/world defense team. After reading the latest I was a little disappointed by the story but still hopeful that with all the new additions to the team future volumes will definitely keep up the good work. The title refers to the fact that several prominent characters from past Net Force books make their last appearances as members of the Net Force, including Alex Michaels, the Commander in the first seven books. He hands down the title (hence "Changing of the Guard") to Thomas Thorn, while the field unit is handed from General Howard to Abe Kent, a former Marine. Not too soon after the changeovers does Net Force find itself involved in a case where a disc containing the names of former Russian spies falls into its hands. The disc leads to an attempted kidnapping of one of Net Force´s top computer agents, Jay Gridley. We learn that the attempt was perpetrated by a hitman assigned by a multibillionaire who is afraid the disc´s information will reveal him to be a former spy himself and will stop at nothing to make sure that the info never sees the light of day. But when the kidnapping gets bungled and Gridley ends up in a coma, Net Force has to stop the attacker and find out what is hidden on the disc. The story is a seeming partial re-treading of a previous Net Force story that also sent Gridley into a coma, but this time it isn´t as engrossing as before. As for the new Net Forcers (Thorn and Kent), they get a rough first start in the mission field but hopefully their next adventure will definitely give them time to flesh themselves out to the reader. Overall, this was an alright chapter in the Net Force legacy, but not all that satisfying to those who have been with it since book 1.¤ 5) Paperback Book Changing of the Guard: Net Force 08 (Net Force) by Berkley. Like a bad car wreck, I needed to keep reading this garbage, holding out hope that it will get better. I was wrong. The plotlines are silly, the characters are unbelievable, and the dialogue is rediculous. This is a really bad book.¤ 6) Paperback Book Changing of the Guard: Net Force 08 (Net Force) by Berkley. Created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik, written by Steve Perry and Larry Segriff.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 2-Dec-2008, 04251937649780425193761, 300-730-320-640-330-430-8
