Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Actor Jay O. Sanders provides an acceptable narration of best-selling author Clancy's (Debt of Honor, Audio Reviews, LJ 11/15/94) reactivation of hostilities between the United States and Russia. With widespread crop failures and the sudden death of Boris Yeltsin, the Russian situation is dire at best. Old-school communists see the opportunity to scuttle American relief efforts by launching a terrorist attack in Times Square. Roger Gordian, a U.S. businessman, finds his multinational corporation in peril and takes the initiative to prevent escalation to full-scale war. Sanders's Russian accents are shaky and seem more appropriate to a Rocky and Bullwinkle adventure. Clancy's abridged story is subject to frequent character shifts, and the action is difficult to follow. Libraries may skip this disjointed effort. Not recommended.?Ray Vignovich, West Des Moines P.L., IA

Book Description

It is 1999.

The sudden death of Russia's president has thrown the Russian Federation into chaos. Devastating crop failures have left millions in the grip of famine, and an uprising seems inevitable.

One of Russia's provisional leaders asks the American president for help. But the whole world is watching when a deadly terrorist attack stuns the United States—and evidence points to the Russian government.

Amidst the turmoil in Russia, American businessman Roger Gordian finds his multinational corporation and its employees in jeopardy. Determined to find those responsible for the attack, he calls upon his crisis control team to interven. But Gordian doesn't realize how far the terrorists will go—and how much he has to lose...

3.0 out of 5 stars Average - for Clancy that is..., Sep 3 2003
By Bimal Gunapala (Colombo, Sri Lanka.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Plays: Politika (Paperback)
I'm a great admirer of Clancy's work but this is one of the rare occassions that he has not lived upto my expectations. It is also my first book in the "Power-Plays" series. I liked the way he prepared the plot upto the explosion but the story seem to lack "punch" after that. Still it is not that bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good yarn, but too many errors, May 24 2003
By mdcatdad "mdcatdad" (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Plays: Politika (Paperback)
//From an unacknowleged letter to the publisher about the paperback edition// Page Erratum Comment 18 Bashkir...Far Eastern I think you mean "Siberian"; the Bashkirs are not in the Far East. If "Bashkir" is not an ethnic Bashkir, why does he have this name? (There is a famous pianist with the name Bashkirov) 30 Romual Perhaps you mean the Polish first name Romual'd (the apostrophe indicating the Russian soft sign, that being how the name is spelled in Russian) 43 Bishir yetso Neither I nor another experienced Russian linguist have any idea what this means. 62 vor v. zakone The period is not necessary (it's not a middle name!); rather than "godfather", such a person is more like the Mafia "made man" or, simply, "professional (as opposed to petty) thief", who subscribes to a code. See "Soviet Prison Camp Speech", by Meyer Galler, based largely on Solzhenitsyn's early works, for an excellent reference on this subject 110 Republican convention ?the previous summer"; in 1998? 181 Gorbachev He wasn't president in 1992 235 MIDI MIDI is a digital protocol governing the transmission of musical data between sound modules/synthesizers and computers or other sound modules/ synthesizers 261 Zgranitsa etc. Za granitsa (SIC) is a prepositional expression; no native Russian speaker would use it as the subject of a sentence like an English speaker might. 337 Mercedes Wold a rabid Russian nationalist/ Communist be seen in one of these? Bad image. . 343 Komerade ??? You mean "tovarishch"? "Komerad" is what German soldiers traditionally say when about to surrender 364 IL-76 This is a cargo plane, not a passenger plane. Although it is used to carry paratroopers, they don't sit in "passenger seats" any more than US airborne units do.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many mistakes., Jan 17 2003
By 1945 (MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Plays: Politika (Paperback)
It's not absolutely bad (I put 2 stars!), but boring enough. Advice: if you are writing a book about something (for example, Russia), it's good idea to get acquainted with your subject a little.

I was generous and rounded up. This is not the best book by Tom Clancy, not by any means. But it is not as bad as the other reviewers say. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Get a decent fact-checker
This is less interesting than most of Clancy's works, and since he appears to be making money hand over fist, you'd think he could afford a fact-checker. Read more

Power Plays is one of Tom Clancys best, gicing an incite to the future. This action packed book is great for those who like fast paced books. I recommend this book to everyone!
