Guilty pleasure

Conviction is a book based on a video game, the fact it carries the Tom Clancy name helps but doesn't give it a free pass. The book itself it well written if a bit cliche and predictable. But this book was created for entertainment, not to teach or impart knowledge, it is totally a guilty pleasure. And there is nothing wrong with that in the least. It feel a bit more fast paced than the previous Splinter Cell books and you must suspends a good deal of disbelief in order to enjoy it. But if you can do that what you get is a good read. This is a Same Fisher you will recognize but he has changed and you can see it in the little bit of character development present in the book. The story is a bit far fetched but its easy enough to suspend reality and just enjoy. If you are a Splinter Cell fan already its worth picking up, if you are on the fence, or just a fan of military non fiction its worth a look through. If you've read any of the previous novels and enjoyed them you won't be disappointed with this iteration.
Excellent book

I was very impressed with Splinter Cell Conviction, it has a fast, intriguing plot, and an interesting premise. It's an interesting change to see Sam Fisher being pursued by the agency he once worked for
LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

Couldn't put this book done. I've enjoyed all of the books in the Splinter Cell series, but I'd say that I enjoyed this one more than the others. It of course is a completely different viewpoint from the others as Sam Fisher is now being hunted by Third Echelon rather than working for them. Loved it. Buy it. Now. Hoping to get Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Endgame ASAP.
