About the Author

A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.

Editorial Reviews

Netforce, an extension of Homeland Security, searches for spies left over from the Cold War era. Samuel Walker Cox, once an undercover Russian spy, is now head of a multinational corporation and very wealthy. Fearing discovery, Cox hires a private detective to remove all records of his past. Then the killing starts. Sam Tsoutsouvas depicts characters of both genders through inflection, tone, and accents. The pace is fast, and the plot moves forward seamlessly. Music dramatizes tense situations, as well as indicates where CDs end, enhancing the listening experience. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
