1) Paperback Book Springboard: Net Force 09 (Net Force) by Berkley. This is easily the worst entry into the series. The plot took the team into an arena that is not their forte. Probably 7/8 of the book is a buildup to a conflict that lasts maybe a dozen pages. It reads like something that was thrown together at the last minute to meet a publisher´s deadline. There was so little plot impetus, a secondary plot from an earlier entry was needed to pad the number of pages. The bad thing is that it was more interesting than the primary plot line and over, also in an unsatisfactory manner, half way through the book. Not much right with this one.¤ 2) Paperback Book Springboard: Net Force 09 (Net Force) by Berkley. This was my first Net Force book (I got it from a co-worker) and I wasn´t as disappointed as the other reviewers were, probably because I hadn´t read the 8 prior books (or maybe because I didn´t pay for it?). It was interesting enough for me to read it to the end. I´m new to the whole vr simulation / internet security / military intrigue genre so I was completely entertained. I was impressed enough to track down the other 8 books to read them, so I will say that this book seemed a little too contrived in hindsight. My favorite was #5 Point of Impact. Hammer, anyone?¤ 3) Paperback Book Springboard: Net Force 09 (Net Force) by Berkley. I was dissapointed when I picked up this book. I thought--wow! A new Clancy---but it´s written by someone else, and Clancy´s name is slapped on the POS. It´s just not the same as a real Clancy.¤ 4) Paperback Book Springboard: Net Force 09 (Net Force) by Berkley. I am an ultimate Net Force fan. I loved the first seven books; it was my favorite series at the time. Book 8 let me down a little bit but this one was just awful. None of the characters are anywhere nearly as interesting as the initial characters. Thorn is much less interesting than Michaels. Fiorella adds a subplot while Lowe adds nothing. Fernandez is now a guest star. Kent is an extremely subpar substitution for John Howard. The new Gridley is a joke compared to the old hotshot. The antagonists have no depth. Michaels needs to get back in the picture and save the series from sticking itself farther down the tubes.¤ 5) Paperback Book Springboard: Net Force 09 (Net Force) by Berkley. Admittedly, I haven´t read anything else in the Net Force series, but this book was just disgraceful. I bought it on an impulse by at the gas station, and started reading it. What a horrible mistake.
There is no semblance of a plot or cohesion, and forget about character development. Mostly, all of the characters sit around ´grinning´ at each other. This is one of the maybe 1 book in 200 that made me want to put it down and throw it away. That is not good.¤ 6) Paperback Book Springboard: Net Force 09 (Net Force) by Berkley. NEW CENTURY
