Good story line, quick read. Not a lot of sub plots to tie together. Laid ground work for follow on tech.

Net Force Safe House By Tom Clancy. A family that is led by the virtual internet until a family receives a "cousin" who has a story himself. I really enjoyed this book. The constant suspense leading up to something big really kept me locked in. Some of the characters in the story caught my eye and kept me reading. As the story continued I wanted to know what happened to them. Many of the descriptions of the settings and the characters gave me graphic visual images. This allowed me to analyze the story even better and enjoy it more. I recommend this book to people who like science fiction. those that like to receive a visual image while they read to assist them in there enjoyment of the book.

I find this be to be a fairly good read. The book had some interesting points as well as some not so engaging. I really enjoyed the story as it startd to fill me with suspense as it got close to the ending. I do feel however some parts of the book were a bit to long they needed to be. Parts such as the characters playing the game had its importance, but I felt they spend too much time with explaining it in many details when they didn't really need to. Overall this book was pretty interesting and well writen and I'd probably recommend this for my friends as well.

Having moderated my expectations for the Net Force and Net Force Explorer series, I really liked this one. A nice combination of general mystery and high-tech intrigue.
