1.0�toiles sur 5 Zero Hour...Zero Score, Avril 29 2004

Par	Eugene S. Skinner "delawaregene" (Harrington, Delaware) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Power Plays #7 Zero Hour (Paperback)

What a dissapointment. I guess I picked this one up because of the Clancy name, but after Power Plays 6, "Cutting Edge" I guess I should have known better. I only read about 40 books a year, and I'm really sorry I wasted my time on this one. This is truly one of the worst books I have ever read. Imagine 4 pages dedicated to describing a man entering a building and walking to the elevator. Or how about 5 pages describing a mother walking to her car. If this appeals to you, then by all means, invest your time in this 330 page disgrace of a novel. Tom Clancy should be embarrassed to have his name associated with such poor writing and imagination.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Zero Hour, Avril 14 2004

Par	V A Clark Swimm (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Tom Clancy's Power Plays: Zero Hour (Audio Cassette)

Zero Hour is one of the worst books that I have read in recent memory. I can't imagine Tom Clancy linking his name to book. There is next to no action. There are too many characters that have dead ends. The Pakistan characters add nothing to the book except to provide some graphic violence. The Roger Cordian presence and the rock wall sequence is nearly pointless. The climax was so ho hum. The villain has been shot in a previous scene and simply dies of blood loss before triggering the laser. The whole notion that a stockpile of chemicals in New York in this day and age that could be so easily targeted seemed unlikely. The book ended with the murder of the Pakistan character left me speechless- what was the point. The main villain was dead. What was the point of the main villain's photo sensitive disease - surely the author could have developed at a least a death scene for him related to that illness rather than an octopus bite. I kept expecting something imaginative to happen but it didn't.
This book seems to be a clever attempt to use Clancy's name as a selling point. This type of marketing is doomed to failure.

5.0�toiles sur 5 The book I read Part II, F�v 1 2004

Par	John Nostrum (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Power Plays #7 Zero Hour (Paperback)

To the anonymous reader from California:

You crossed out all those sentences, huh? Must have lotsa time on your hands. But waitaminnit . . . wait just a gol-durn minute here! I see now that your "review" was of the AUDIO CD version of the novel. Wow, there's a really neat trick, crossing out those words on a CD, I mean! You'll have to patent that technique; bet it'll earn you a fortune. Also, I've never heard of nonessential (or "not essential", as you put it) characterization. Couldja explain the concept to us sometime? 'Cause I was kinda made to feel sorry for that woman you mentioned (whose murder -- as well as the fact that she had a kid in playschool -- was key to the plot in about a dozen ways).

Yee-ee-eesh.
