Net Force #1: Net Force - Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik (CD)
Title: R is for Ricochet Title: Net Force Author: Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik Genre: Format: CD, 3 CDs, (Abridged) Synopsis: The year is 2010 and computers reign supreme as the new superpowers -- those who control them, control the world. To enforce the Net Laws, Congress creates the ultimate computer security agency: Net Force. (Can't you just feel a classic Clancy story shaping up here?) Deputy Director Alex Michaels is thrust into command when the director of Net Force is killed -- which happens simultaneously with a cyber-terrorist attack on mainframe computers across the country, causing massive-scale, society-wide chaos. Net Force must find the saboteurs, with Michaels leading the hunt and knowing that he has already been targeted for assassination. This latest collaboration by Clancy and Steve Pieczenik is read by Kerry Shale. Review: Publisher's Weekly Clancy's newest collaboration takes us to 2010, when the virtual Web looks like a stock-car race and gadgets and gizmos abound. Net Force, a computer security agency created by Congress, patrols the technological etherworld and those who hook into it. When the agency's director is assassinated, Deputy Director Alex Michaels suddenly finds himself in command. Diverted by the Chechen mastermind in Russia, Michaels and his forces are soon battling the New Mafia and an Irish assassin named "The Selkie." Out in the field, the Special Forces carry advanced armor and weapons systems while joshing around in cartoonlike jargon. The computer jocks drive their virtual Vipers to investigate "roadblocks" and "pileups." The equipment is interesting, but the action doesn't bear up under the ponderous exposition and flatter-than-a-floppy-disk characters. (Feb.) FYI: Net Force is soon to be an ABC mini-series.
