A book published in 1999 about the future (2010) and some of the technological developments that would be available by then. Many are commonplace today although the idea of using Virtual Reality to attack a computer virus comes across as extremely imaginative and still a futuristic concept. Good writing in the book, more of the quality of TC himself although there are about 4 storylines all mixed up in the book. Entertaining to read especially in 2020.
Good character development, and a very easy story to follow... If slightly predictable. I did enjoy it.
I am reviewing the novel Tom Clancy's Net Force Night Moves which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. This story I think is science fiction and is set in the near future but that is 2010 but this is quite an old book. The plot revolves around a world that is reliant on super computers and they are all set to crash. There are 2 computer experts who maybe could sort it out but they have strokes. There are a lot of different characters in this book and many only have small parts. There
It's rare that a long-running series like NET FORCE feels so devoid of fresh ideas this early on in the proceedings. Here we are only in Book #3, and already it seems author Steve Perry is struggling to scrape together a fresh plot.Like Book #2 in the series, NIGHT MOVES mostly forgoes the sorts of things you'd typically expect from a Tom Clancy novel, preferring instead to deal with scene after scene of interpersonal drama. Having just hooked up with each other at the end of the last book, Alex...
I really like this one, more than Hidden Agendas. Follows the same logic of first half, slow development of storyline and characters, second half, quick action oriented resolution, but it leaves a lot of open knots to be tied in the next book. Was a quick read but I couldn't drop the book.
I was a little confused at the beginning because we hopped from one point of view to another four times (four different characters) in as many chapters. Once the story got going though, it flowed well. Tom does a great job of maintaining tention not just with the overall plot, but with the character's indiviual challenges. He picks a fairly wide range, so that something one of his characters are expiriencing will ciertianly ring true with a reader's past expirience.
Okay, okay, I broke down and bought the whole series to date. This is the third Net Force book, and Tom Clancy's influence wanes a bit, pulling it more squarely into Steve Perry territory. It loses some of the hard military edge that Clancy pulls into the books he authorizes, but it holds onto enough to keep my attention. Besides, I'm a total Steve Perry fan. And anyone who can motivate him to list good knives by name (A Cold Steel Culloden (which I have) and a Benchmade tanto (unspecified, but
Excellent! Have "almost" read all of Clancy and Pieezenik
lots of good info
Slow, predictable.
This one was by far the best of the NetForce books. The story made sense, it was very fast paced, you could see how all of this could hang together and the ending was smart and thoughtful. There is so much more for the character development but the author still has 7 more books to take care of that. I am looking forward to the next one.
This book was excellent and hard to put down at times. After reading this I started reading "Cyber Nation" and:in "Night Moves" a character named Nadine was Tyrone's girl friend but in "Cyber Nation" Nadine is Mr Howards wife.Proof readers where are you?
This book was OK. It might have been better if I had read #1 or #2 first, but it stood on its own fairly. I'm a sucker for a good military action novel, and in that regard, this was pretty satisfying. I have two complaints, though.The first complaint is all the virtual reality stuff. I'm a computer guy, so I know first hand that my job would make one really boring novel. Clearly, the authors had to do SOMETHING to make those parts worth reading. That said, portraying the effort to hunt down a "c...
There was so much that I hated about this book that I don't want to even go into it in this forum. Simply put, don't waste your time.
Net Force So - So
This book almost certainly doesn’t deserve this rating. But for me, at twelves years old, it did. I bought it at a gas station on a family road trip somewhere along the desolate highways of the American southwest. My sister, my dad, and I were traveling to the Grand Canyon from Michigan. I remember reading it in the car, in our hotel, everywhere we went. It was my first adult novel, and I credit it with introducing me to the world of fiction and books.
Pros: I will admit that the biggest thing that had me turning pages was Alex and Toni's relationship. By the end of the book I had to go try to find the next one in the series. I just had to know what the heck happened.(I mean I had an idea but you know) My favorite character though is Jay and he doesn't disappoint in this one.The virtual reality is pretty cool to me. Little out there but still pretty awesome. John Howard is badass and very likeable. In fact most of the main characters are prett...
Riveting plot, great character development, and it was fascinating to read a futuristic set novel that pegs British high-society as the antagonists (a fresh brand of enemy not ventured by Clancy and Pieczenik). Similar to my review on Hidden Agendas (Net Force #2), this is a series that should be read in the order they were published to understand the backgrounds and motivations of the characters. Once again, Clancy did not disappoint.
This book offers many good tips on how to build high-quality code. More importantly, it helps create a base framework of a manual that a cmopany could use to stanadrdise the coding styles of its engineering force. One shouldn’t follow all the tips listed in the book, but the book SURELY gives nice directions.
Future tech stuff in use. VR indeed.Do teens really talk like Tyrone et al ? 2000 so 20 yrs ago too ! I liked the ‘rangs. Did not like the soap btwn Aex M. & Toni F. .. she quit her job at end of book. Jay met a nice lady Saji in this book. So I can enjoy parts of these books but not all. Too violent for me.
