Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The International Terrorists Game.
This series of POWER PLAYS created by Tom Clancy and Martin Greenburg include Ruthless. com, Politika, Wild Card, Cutting Edge, Zero Hour, and Cold War. SHADOW WATCH is based on an interactive computer game by Red Storm, woned by Tom Clancy, Virtus Corp. and Pearson plc. The cover of this one has the "all-seeing eye" blown from the top of the pyramid used in the movie 'National Treasure' as a space shuttle.

Rating: - Half-Way Decent
As this is the first Tom Clancy read, although I have several movies based on his books, suck as The Hunt for the Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger.
Although I thought his writing was good and was a cliff-hanger like feeling throughout the book, as I read other reviews I guess his other books must have been alot better.
Anyways some of the sub-plots were well written and were interesting (urchin diving with Tom Ricci), they only showed he was tough ... Read More
Rating:  - I quit after an hour of it as a book on tape
This was a 3 hour book on tape and after being regaled for more than half an hour with all of the details of a battle in which I neither knew who was fighting or why they were fighting I decided that I'd had enough.
These Clancy rip-off story lines only go to show that Clancy has a special talent for developing characters when he actually writes the books. It also shows that he has a special talent for soaking up the cash wherever he can. What a con - let Clancy creates the characters ... Read More
Rating: - Another Clancy Rip-off
I bought the Abridged CD version. There were no tracks on the CD. Therefore, if you stopped listening, you would have to search the entire CD to determine where you left off. A 70 minute disk needs several breaks.
The story was abridged. Whoever did the production should look for another job. The first third of the novel was almost impossible to comprehend. I read/listen to approximately 5 books per week. This one was one of the worst editing jobs I have come across.

Rating: - Somewhat disappointing
Well, this book wasn't terrible, but it could have been much better. Definately doesn't live up to Politika or Ruthless.com, let alone the plethera of other Clancy novels. The biggest problem I had with this book was the fact that the characters never seemed to get their act together. They spent all but the last 60 or so pages of the book doing almost nothing. It seemed like for the first 250-300 pages, maybe two hours had passed in the world. To make matters worse, the ending wasn't even very glorious, ... Read More
