Rating: 4 Summary: Only one complaint to a great story
Comment Year 2054: Xanadu, the world's most exclusive (...) resort, is under suspicion to be a possible base for some devastating and harmful thefts done through the Net. Meg O'Malley, a Net Force Explorer, is more than willing to go undercover to discover the identity of the illusive thief. Since her father, a renowned writer, has already been asked to host a writing workshop at Xanadu, Meg is given the perfect opportunity to conduct an investigation. But the beautiful resort with its gourmet food, entertainment, and high tech virtual sites may also be one of the most deadly places to be for Meg. For without any aide from other Net Force investigators, she's on her own to track down the thief.

The Net Force Explorers is a great Young Adult fiction series, especially those with a love for computers and the Internet. Since the Net presented in the books have no boundaries, you will never know what to expect next. With a well-thought out plot, this story has plenty of twists and turns, having the whole plot well balanced with mystery, excitement, and adventure. The end as usual becomes a bit technical and hard to follow as most of the books in the series but you still have a general idea what's going on. But I can't really say any more or I would ruin the story! :)

The characters of the book is what really makes the book more fun to read. Meg O'Malley is a terrific Net Force Explorer with her quick wits, sharp tongue, and martial arts talents. I especially found her very cool and I loved the part where she jokes about her brothers. Mark Gridley, who appears briefly towards the end of the book, is also a fun character. I wish there was more of him in the story. My only complaint for the story is that there's no Leif Anderson! I really loved him in "The Deadliest Game" (book #3 of the Net Force Explorer's series) and I wished he was here. Wim Dorfladen was a poor substitute to be put in as Meg's 'ally'. I really hope we get another story with the teaming up of Meg and Leif!

The series is for Young Adults and I strongly recommend only older kids read it since there are many occasions where a few bad words are sprinkled here and there. Not that bad but still in a way a bit annoying to have them in the book. But I still highly recommend it for older kids for I'm sure you'll love it!

Rating: 5 Summary: Damn Tom Clancy
Comment im getting tired of tom clancy showing me these brillant worlds that i cannot venture into. hence: Xanadu, i want Xanadu!!! who wouldnt like to have a dip into "net forces" version of full bandwith i do, and the all inspiring pavilions. when megan was in that virtual sim, i felt like i was there, and it scared the hell out of me. and it inticed me. this is a book you have t read, just for the shear coolness of it. you gotta love the virtual sims

Rating: 1 Summary: Rare lack of knowledge
Comment I usually am a fond reader of Tom Clancy's works, may they be fictional or factual. But this thing shows a rare lack of knowledge, which I find annoying.

I am german, a citizen of Hanover, where Clancy set much of his plot - and the connection between real events and the story plot would make SOME research neccessary, I guess. But all the research found in this novel is reading a roadmap of Germany, and even that is done badly. Anything else is pure fiction, and the relation to real events is only in the name.

Where is the author that takes up so much time researching things BEFORE writing? THIS thing is just making money...

Rating: 5 Summary: Excellent! Tom Clancy did a wonderful job on this!
Comment After reading the first chapter, I was absolutely amazed and couldn't stop reading. Tom Clancy has a great view of technology for the 21st century. When I read it, it made you feel like you were inside the action. To me while reading, everything sounded very real. Definitely worth buying! An overall 5 stars.

Rating: 5 Summary: A great read!
Comment this book was gerat! i found it interesting and amusing with clancy's views on technology and the 21st century. You've got to read this!
