Net Force (Tom Clancy's Net Force, #1)
Not bad action story, although probably not good enough to warrant having Tom Clancy's name plastered all over it in big letters. I can't tell if Clancy had any input to it - it says it's created by him and Steve Pieczenik, then thanks Steve Perry for his contributions.(From what I can tell, I think Steve Perry is the actual author).
Written in the late '90s and set in 2012, it tends to date itself quite often, and the characters kids in it have the most risible slang possible, as well as being the most annoying part of the book.
Net Force is a government organisation patrolling the 'net, using virtual reality gear to navigate their way around it. William Gibson did this brilliantly, ICE did a good job with their Cyberspace RPG and scenarios, and this is just...so-so.
If it didn't have Clancy's name at the top, I'm not sure this would sell so well.
