ReplyDeleteWow! Sounds very intense! How does this writing differ from other Sci-fi books you've read? Do you think this crisis could actually happen someday? what are your thoughts on the author?
ReplyDeleteI like this book because of the interesting plot-line as well as the writing style.
ReplyDeleteI personally do not find many differences from his writing then others but i do like it. This is only the second book that i have read from him and I think they are very well written

ReplyDeleteHi, Keagan- I've found Clancy to be tedious, with more talk than action; do you think this book has a stronger plot/ more action than the other book of his you've read?
ReplyDeleteAlthough it does still have more talk that action it seems to be that there is not as much talk as other books. As well as most of the talk is not that boring and brings you in to the story and give you more information as well as it it gets more intriguing when it gets closer to the action parts of the book.
ReplyDeleteCurrently the antagonist of the story Peter Bascomb-Coombs, the one who is destroying the computers that support many ways of living in both England and America. Has a meeting in London with some of the worlds best scientists of the time. They have a new device that Peter wants to acquire to crack through all of the more sophisticated codes to get to all of the main computer systems that control the all of the other computers.
ReplyDeleteKeagan, Did you finish this book? If so, what did you think? I see that you've started another Clancy novel, so I assume you liked it; what are your favorite aspects of his style?
