1. when i read this book i went through many stages excitment sadness climax denoument i fell in love with this book i recommed this book to everyone and now im hooked to the series and cant stop reading



2. Tom Clancy's Net Force is a very boring book. Tom Clancy can do way better. He has written way better books than this. I suggest you don't buy this one. This book is about a virtual game called the dominion of Sarxos. People play this virtual game a lot and it is the biggest virtual game in the world. But people have been taking the game too seriously and are trashing people's apartments, and ruining their computers and hurting them. They hire a girl to figure out who's been doing this and some interesting things happen but I won't tell you. This book is okay but don't buy it. Just check it out from a library because it's not worth buying.



3. Control your armys, crush your foes, and strike fear in the eyes of those who oppose you. Then log off, brush your teeth, take a break then lunge back into the world of Sarxos. Tom Clancy really grasps the world of science fiction in his Net Force book The Deadliest Game. I would recomend this book for one and all. The mystery lover, to the action seeker, all readers can love this book many times over.



4. Millions of people participate in the virtual reality game of Sarxos. At any time participants can enter, by logging into a pc via an implanted connection device, the wonderful world of Sarxos, where you can eat, drink, sleep and above all fight with opponents. Sarxos is the ideal escape from the daily troubles. But for some people this escape has become quite addictive. But suddenly strange things are happening: active players are being assaulted during their daily non-Sarxos life. Megan O'Malley, a joyful teenager, is asked by the Net Force agency to check things out. Because she is a frequent player no-one will notice that she has another mission at hand, at least that is was she thinks.
   
   If you drop the name of Tom Clancy you automatically thing of high profile techno-thrillers, so when Clancy and Steve Pieczenik are pulled together to write a book for adolescents some clear expectations are raised. Sadly enough the techno-thriller aspect is kept to a minimum in The Deadliest Game. Indeed it concerns a virtual reality game, but most of the plot is being build inside the game without using too much using the concept of virtual reality. It is as if the players are being ported into a game and that game becomes a story on its own. Nothing wrong with that, was is not for the fact that that story quickly becomes tedious and boring. It is an attempt at a fantasy story, but does not succeed to exploit the power of fantasy. To say it boldly: if ever that game became commercially available, I would certainly not think about buying it.
   
   The Deadliest Game is a missed opportunity. I do hope that the other episodes of the Net Force series have more spirit.



5. Tom Clancy's The Deadliest Game was a wonderful book. Comparing his book with his last book, Virtual Vandals, This was somewhat more than expected. I enjoyed this book even more because of the huge amounts of suspension. I admit the book was very slow to begin and i thought that there was excessive amount of description and detail in the book and not enough dialect. I really think Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik did a wonderful job on the book. The story of mystery holds all the aspects a good mystery should. All and all this book would have 5 stars if there was more dialect.

1. This book is basically an advertisement for software. The book may be helpful to someone who has limited or no experience with computers and the internet. To the investigator, your money would be better spent elsewhere. I found a couple of things useful but overall it was not much use for the ... I spent to purchase it.



2. While the title may peak your interest, don't sit by your mailbox waiting for enlightenment. This book offers little of value to anyone involved in the computer security field. Frankly it offers little that couldn't be learned from reading the backs of software boxes at your local Fry's or Comp USA. Given the depth of quality recent releases in the field of computer security and high tech investigation and more promising publications on the horizon, it's hard to justify spending the money on this book. Unless you just think the title will look cool on your bookshelf. You'd be better off with any of the recent releases by Eoghan Casey, or Kruse and Heisner. Or you could wait for the upcoming publications by Vacca, and Marcella and Greenfield.
