Tom Clancy's Net Force: The Archimedes Effect »

Known for originating the techno-thriller genre, Tom Clancy writes complex novels dense with hardware and international intrigue. Perhaps the strongest indication of his power as a writer is the fact that he is often treated by the media like a character in one of his books, asked for opinions about military readiness and the subject of rumors about being debriefed by the Pentagon. Not bad for a former salesman who was rejected for service because of bad eyesight.

With Army bases under attack by terrorists, Net Force's own crack troops team up with Army intelligence and the National Guard to track down who is behind the deadly strikes. But they are countered at every move by a cunning opponent who thinks like one of their own.
