    <body><![CDATA[If you liked the game, this is a good addition. Anyone can read this high paced novel. The main character is special agent Sam Fisher, he works for a secret district of the NSA dubbed Third Echelon. The first person perspective used in this book adds good flavor and change. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I actually read the second book first so it was a little bit of a spoiler for this one.  It wasn't as good as the second one, in my opinion, but still okay.  However I recommend that you don't read it if you're under thirteen.  There are a few explicit scenes.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Yuck. One of my earmarks for a crappy book is when they spend a lot of time listing the exact model &amp; characteristics of every weapon a person carries.  If you like the 'Death Land' series by Axler or the 'Executioner', you may like this.  Not my cup of tea. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed the Splinter Cell PC games, and after playing the last installment, picked up this book at the library to preview it for my son.  The bitterly coarse language made me glad I did.  The story was fine, but the unnecessary profanity turned me off.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Tom Clancy - like his style. Every plot seems to be on a collision course with world ending devastation, until his main characters swoop in to pull the plug, or trigger, just in time to save the day. Good writing nontheless. ]]></body>
