Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist Aftermath Paperback – August 15, 2013

Always a good read. Action moves at a pace where you can break your reading moments into chunks your schedule can accommodate. Good storyline and still "believable".By

This is the most recent book in the Splinter Cell novel series and its a real treat.It takes place right after the 2013 video game, and ignores the pseudo continuity from the previous novels.The plot is very clear and easy to understand, and the various missions they need to undertake are fun and the complications thrown their way are quite engaging.The reason I'm deducting a star is that it's a little too action oriented for a Splinter Cell novel. In other words, they almost always are either running from the enemy or are instantly detected by them. No real solo infiltration missions like the earlier novels. His team is extremely present and Briggs is always by Fisher's side, which does lessen the stakes a bit since Fisher now has backup on the field.That being said, it's still a great book and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the video games.

Excellent book, kept my interest throughout the entire book.this series is one of the dest series i have so far

I have been reading Clancy books since the mid 80's while in the USAF living in Guam. Loved them. Before Tom Clancy dies, he used writers to help him with certain series of books. There have been at least 3 writers for the Splinter Cell series under 2 names. My daughter pointed out that the 3rd in the series was written in a different person that the first two. I did not pick up on it. Now Peter Telep for the University of Central Florida has been writing the books. He does a great job. Short chapters, action packed stories from the first page, engages all the senses, details about lots of foreign places, lots of Technology, and the power of the human spirit.One thing I really enjoy about Peter is his interest in what the reader thinks. He seems to care about your input. It does not get any better than this. Keep up the good work.

Having read all the splinter cell books previously, and played their connected video games, I have to say Blacklist (the novel) is somewhat disappointing.While the other books are by no means award winning material, they all have been fun and exciting reads that stimulates the imagination and really bring Sam and his struggles to life.Unfortunately this is not the case during the course of Blacklist. One of my qualms with this book is the plot seems jumbled and at times difficult to follow. In addition, action sequences do not come to life like previous books. I was having a hard time really picturing what exactly was going on and at times questioning why exactly this course of action was even necessary. But, and most importantly, the quality of writing is a tier lower then what I would expect having read the other books. Like I said earlier, it fails to capture the imagination, making the story and plot go stale restively quickly.If you are a big splinter cell fan, I would still get this novel; however go in to this book stripped of any prior expectations. Perhaps your conclusions will be different than mine.

I have read this entire series about Sam Fisher. I do prefer the earlier books where Sam works alone, not in this team as I. This book. Also nothing personal in this book about Sam and the character Lambert was missing. It was good to see that 3E became 4E and Sam was the leader. It is still a good book to read but I recommend you read earlier ones in the series first to have a good foundation.

My first Splinter Cell read, but it won’t be the last. It met the standard Tom Clancy has set for thrillers, and what more can anyone ask. Recommend for all thriller readers.

Peter Telep has presented a series of end of the chair excitement and intrigue that are real page turners. There are a few similarities between the Splinter Cell series and the Endwar series. I have read both series and thoroughly enjoyed each one. Aftermath is the latest and it keeps you involved from the first page to the last. The only confusion that I have is the involvement of the Snow Maiden here and in The Missing (Endwar). I had just finished Missing before reading Aftermath. The final disposition of the Snow Maiden is different in each story. Keeping them separated was a challenge, but did not detract from either story. If you like lots of action on the international stage, then these two series are great reads. Even though Tom Clancy is no longer with us, his legacy is being carried on ably by Mr Telep. Keep them coming.
