Changing Of The Guard (2003) - Plot & Excerpts

4 of 5 stars for the book Net Force #8: Changing of the Guard by Tom Clancy (Audio edition). Let's start with the fact that I am a big fan of Tom Clancy and a fan of the Net Force series. I have been reading the series in sequence as there are continuing characters and sub-story-lines. The main focus of this book is several of our Net Force staffers have decided to retire leaving the agency and introducing new replacements. Our techie Jay Gridley continues with Net Force. The plot of this book is relatively simple and also not as interesting as the previous books in the series. A disk with encoded data is obtained by Net Force which will reveal the identity of many spys. Those who lost the disk want the information to remain secret and learn that Gridley is working to decode the data. They send an assassin after Gridley to keep him from decoding. All in all a good book and worth the read. Its not the best in the Net Force series.

Book 8 of this series takes a shift from the previous books. As the title says it's all change with the top personal at Net Force. Alex, Toni and General Howard are all moving on and new people are taking their places. That's the background and quite a bit of this book is spent introducing their replacements, each with quirky hobbies and interests. There is an espionage story here too, but this used a major plot point that was a repetition of something in one of the previous books. I found this pretty annoying and the 'Net' content was minimal. There was a bit of tech stuff but this was more or less like any other thriller, not the high tech crime busting I like.Without the main characters, who I really liked, there is not so much to interest me in this series anymore and it's unlikely that I will be reading any further.

What do You think about Changing Of The Guard (2003)?

My first Net Force story from Clancy. Previously had only read "traditional" Clancy novels (Clear and Present Danger, etc). This is a different genre, although there are similarities with his earlier writing. The characters seem more two-dimensional in this book, and the story does not have the compexity of Clancy's 'traditional' work. Ending was a bit of a surprise. Still, I'd give another Net Force book chance, though I wouldn't buy it. I found the original in a paperback library at work, so if I find another one, I'll grab it.

Currently I have read Tom Clancy's, Net Force: Changing of the Guard. This book Included lots of mystery and secrets of the old nations of Russia and of the United States. It also spoke in the futuristic writing about different technologies that we today are just learning how to use and/or create.This book starts off with a guy who is an american spy in Turkey. He is there meeting another man who was also a spy for the turkish government who infiltrated the Iraqi government and got a disc with v
