AMAZING!!! 5 STARS

How do you stop an entire country from dying by a deadly chemical? 2 words, Sam Fisher. Splinter Cell Fallout by Tom Clancy and David Micheals is an action-packed novel! This is a mystery novel for anyone who wants a thrilling book! This book is my favorite book and could be yours also! There are surprises around every corner. This book takes place in the Middle East, Far East, and the US. It is around 2010 when this all happens so it is for more of the futuristic readers. Colonal Irving Lambert is Sam's leader and a close friend of his. Anna Grimsdottir is another one of Sam's workers and is a good friend also. This is written in third person so when it says Fisher it means Sam.

Great Book!

It was a very good book, anyone who enjoys the Ryanverse/Splinter Cell books would enjoy it.

Review of Fallout

First of all, I find it very sad that some people don't do their homework before writing a review. The fact that someone who claims to be a "fan" of "David Michaels" is hilarious since "David Michaels" is a pseudonym. It's also sad that someone would give a book as good as this a bad review for differing styles between the books when they were written by different people. Get a clue, please. I want to start by giving this David large amount of credit for being interactive with the Splinter Cell fan community. Three characters, Robert Robertson, Aly Wallace and Jackie Fiest are all named after real Splinter Cell fans. Very few authors are that interactive with their readers and "David" should be commended. Second of all, the books situation with oil is something I have yet seen done in any entertainment medium. While I don't read a lot of military fiction, this is the first time I've seen that and enjoyed the idea. I don't know if something of that nature really exists, but if it did it would surely cause a world wide panic, especially if it ended up in the wrong hands. "David" did a good job of telling an exciting story and bringing back Sam's sense of humor and wit that has made him the fascinating character that he is. Good work, Sir.

Good read

This is a good addition to the series. It is well written and action packed. The climax is great and keeps you guessing right up until the last page. We get more insight into Fisher as a person and his past. It has plenty of nods to the games, which makes it easy to picture. Hopefully this will be followed by more action-packed espisodes. Updated 1/28/2008 There are some things that need to be cleared up about this book immediately. First, echoing other reviews, this was not written by the same author as Splinter Cell and Op. Barracuda, so anyone whining about continuity should read the proverbial fine print. "It seemed like it was written by a totally different person." Congraulations, Sherlock. It was! Second, in any mass market paperback, there will be some typos or math errors (i.e. size of mansion/land). He is an author, not a mathmatician and it they weren't so glaring that a simple "Oh, he must have meant 30,000" pause wouldn't fix that mental picture. I've read the book twice because the story is quite good and very topical in the world today, and honestly, I didn't even notice. This book was very enjoyable and taken as the mass market thriller and not as the next great American novel, it is a good read. If you can't get past errors, this is not a book for you
