5.0 out of 5 stars
Good read, Dec 11 2007
By M. H. Dulas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Splinter Cell Fallout (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a good addition to the series. It is well written and action packed. The climax is great and keeps you guessing right up until the last page.
We get more insight into Fisher as a person and his past. It has plenty of nods to the games, which makes it easy to picture. Hopefully this will be followed by more action-packed espisodes.

There are some things that need to be cleared up about this book immediately. First, echoing other reviews, this was not written by the same author as Splinter Cell and Op. Barracuda, so anyone whining about continuity should read the proverbial fine print. "It seemed like it was written by a totally different person." Congraulations, Sherlock. It was!
Second, in any mass market paperback, there will be some typos or math errors (i.e. size of mansion/land). He is an author, not a mathmatician and it they weren't so glaring that a simple "Oh, he must have meant 30,000" pause wouldn't fix that mental picture. I've read the book twice because the story is quite good and very topical in the world today, and honestly, I didn't even notice. This book was very enjoyable and taken as the mass market thriller and not as the next great American novel, it is a good read. If you can't get past errors, this is not a book for you

Awesome!, Nov 27 2007
By Gambit0084 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Splinter Cell Fallout (Mass Market Paperback)
Let me clarify that the Splinter Cell books are not written by Tom Clancy, they are just an idea of his.
Be careful, spoilers are listed.
This book was well written in my opinion and the author of the book portrayed Sam Fisher's personality well. The book starts out with Sam being tested for a new type of spy work, one that would put him out in the open, in daylight. Of course Sam passes the training phase with flying colors. Shortly after his graduation he finds out that his brother has contracted a deadly chemical, from which there is no cure. Sam's brother dies within days of being exposed to the deadly chemical.
With Sam's brother dying at the hands of a very rare and very deadly chemical, the development of this chemical has just become very personal to him. He, Sam, sets out to find who developed the new chemical and for what. During his search for the chemical he comes across a much larger scheme. He, Sam, discovers that the chemical allows a fungas to enhance its ability to absorb the minerals around it, rendering them useless. Sam finds out that this fungas is soon to be released on a large portion of the worlds oil supply.
The production of the new chemical, and its potential enhancement of a particular fungas can send the planet back to the dark ages within just a few weeks time.

Review of Fallout, Jan 14 2008
By Jacqueline A. Fiest "Jackie Fiest" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Splinter Cell Fallout (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all, I find it very sad that some people don't do their homework before writing a review.
The fact that someone who claims to be a "fan" of "David Michaels" is hilarious since "David Michaels" is a pseudonym. It's also sad that someone would give a book as good as this a bad review for differing styles between the books when they were written by different people.
Get a clue, please.
I want to start by giving this David large amount of credit for being interactive with the Splinter Cell fan community. Three characters, Robert Robertson, Aly Wallace and Jackie Fiest are all named after real Splinter Cell fans. Very few authors are that interactive with their readers and "David" should be commended.
Second of all, the books situation with oil is something I have yet seen done in any entertainment medium. While I don't read a lot of military fiction, this is the first time I've seen that and enjoyed the idea. I don't know if something of that nature really exists, but if it did it would surely cause a world wide panic, especially if it ended up in the wrong hands. "David" did a good job of telling an exciting story and bringing back Sam's sense of humor and wit that has made him the fascinating character that he is.
Good work, Sir.
Listmania!
