Product Description

Book Description

A new strain of mass destruction...

The most dangerous man of this century has employed the most dangerous weapon yet. Criminal mastermind Harlan DeVane has developed -- and spread -- a deadly, genetically engineered "superbug" resistant to all known cures. A microscopic time bomb, it will lie dormant inside its human hosts until detonated by specific biochemical triggers.

DeVane plans to auction off the triggereing elements to the highest bidder, but first he'll use them to destry the greatest threat to his operation: Roger Gordian, head of UpLink Technologies. As Roger falls prety to the disease, his medical and intelligence teams race to find the cause and the cure -- because in Roger's fate lies the fate of the world...

1.0 out of 5 stars This was a bad starter for Clancy-type novels, Oct 23 2003
By A. T. DAMICO (Painesville, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Power Plays #4 Bio Strike (Paperback)
Unlike most readers on these reviews, this is the first "Clancy" book I have read. I put it in quotes because it wasn't till I got home with the book that I realized a ghost writer was involved. The first 4 pages were awesome, setting up an "outbreak" type scenario. Where did that story go for the next 300+ pages? There were so many characters in this book that I got confused repeatedly, and finally gave up trying to figure them out. What was up with all the sub-plots which go nowhere...ej. The government guy and Megan, Thibideaux and Ricci..... The story dragged on and on and finally picked up at the end, but it was too late to salvage this story. If he wanted to write a thrilling series, with the backing of Clancy, it could have been done, since everything he needs is in this book. The problem is that by combining all of these story lines into one 400+ page novel, the overall product turned out to be a confusing mess.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't as good as most Clancy Thrillers!, Sep 26 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Plays #4 Bio Strike (Paperback)
This book was a terrible book. The content was pretty boring at most times. This was nothing like the Sum of All Fears, or Patriot Games. I only liked brief parts of it. Hey Tom! Pick up the pace!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very coherent, Jan 14 2002
By Eric Grabowski "eric10754" (New Durham, NH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom Clancy'S Power Plays (Audio CD)
This story seems to jump from topic to topic without any real coherence. When the end finally came I was so lost, I didnt even realize it was coming. Not worth buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horribly written!!!
I have read lots of Clancy's early books and enjoyed them. This one is an absolute waste of a good plot. The author is NOT Clancy, but one of his "group of authors". Read more
