 | Great read Jan 27, 2010 |
| This was a great read if your fan of Clancy. If your into the whole splintercell universe, you will love this book, lots of action! | | |  | Splinter Cell; Conviction Jan 17, 2010 |
| The book was delivered in the condition that was advertised. This is an exciting, fast moving book as are all of the Splinter cell books. Although this book is not written by Clancy, it is in his style. I recommend it to anyone that is a Clancy follower. | | | | Not a Novelization Of The Game Jan 8, 2010 |
It should be noted that while this is a great read for fans of the other Splinter Cell/"David Michaels" Clancy novels, this is NOT a novelization of the game (Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction) it shares a title with. The book and game series do not coexist in the same Clancyverse, so to speak, and while both game and novel star a rogue Sam Fisher, his reasons and goals are completely different to fit the established backstories of their respective mediums. This is good news for Splinter Cell fans who want more and original Sam Fisher tales, but not for anyone who thought they were getting a sneak peak at the fifth game that has been long in development.
4/5 (Sorry, new "Michaels", but Raymond Benson is a tough act to follow. Still a great read.) | | | | BETTER THAN THE REAL THING Jan 4, 2010 |
| This is terrific story telling. If you like this novel I suggest you try THE ATLANTIS CODE by Charles Brokaw. Both authors are terrific writers and story tellers. | | |  | Good fodder for fans, weak for everyone else Dec 28, 2009 |
I wanted to love this book. Really, I did. I'm a big fan of the Splinter Cell games and had previously read the other books in the series. I knew that there was going to be a big change in direction in the new game, and was expecting as much in the book, but what I got was a jarring read that seemed to yank me back out of the action just as I was getting into it. Sure, Sam is on the run thanks to the events of the Double Agent game, but the book makes no mention of those past events aside from passing notes that Sam killed Director Lambert. The book bounces from location to location and only pauses once the action is exhausted at each venue to throw new orders at Sam on where he's headed next, which seemed a bit disjointed for a book and more like level progression in one of the games. Combine that with the blatant product placement (which makes me wonder if the ghost-writer was ordered to stick in X number of plugs for the iPhone, Google Earth, Lycos, DHL, Sony Memory Stick, et cetera) and it makes me think the writer was stuck working from a strict playbook that was laid out by Ubisoft and the book editor. All in all, I'd only mark this one as a "must-read" for rabid fans of the series. Everyone else can skip it and they won't be missing much.
Sidebar note: Given that this book and Splinter Cell: Endgame were published in such quick succession it makes me wonder if they had two ghost-writers working on this at the same time and decided to go ahead and publish both books or if it was originally intended to be a single book and they had to split it due to length. I'm currently reading Endgame and will be reviewing it once I've finished it. | | | Write your own review about Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
