Amazon.com reviews:

Rating: 4 Summary: A good book, easy to read.
Comment The Federation ship unfurls its sails and catches the "wave" it needs to jump into hyperspace. As the ship accelerates past the speed of light the inertial dampers kick in to keep the ship from being torn apart.

The net force explorers are at the helm of this virtual ship in a race against other teens of the world for a spot in an upcoming episode of a hit Holo show.

But as ships crash for no apparant reason the explorers realize that this is no ordinary race. Join them in this adventure into the future as they work to figure who's behind the mishaps.

This is another good Tom Clancy sponsored book. As with the other Net Force books this one is aimed at the younger reader, but even us adults will find it enjoyable.

Buy this book today, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 Summary: Good but not Great
Comment All of the Net Force books are good. This one was no exception. But, I like some of the more computer oriented ones than the more out of this country stuff. I am not saying that the entire book is not about computers, because it is. I just like some the deadliest game, virtual vandals, and some of the others a little bit better. But, altogether, it is still a good book and I highly recommend it

Rating: 4 Summary: Great book with awesome hi-tech stuff in it!!!!
Comment I really liked The great race by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik. Probably the main reasons I liked it were because it takes place way in the future and it had awesome technology. It was fun to read about how the people could visit each other threw virtual reality and the net. Also it was a good topic on the teenagers who built the virtual ships and had to face all the troubles of the great race!!! This is a good book for those sci-fi readers and ones who like to read about kids around their age facing and solving problems.
