Tom Clancey's Splinter Cell - Operation Barracuda is written by David Michaels.
It is based on one of Tom Clancey's best selling games Splinter Cell. Although it is based on a video game, this is a book you don't want to miss.
The story is written in first person. The main character is a man named Sam Fisher who works for the Government of the United States. But, to be more specific, he works in an NSA (National Security Agency) sub-branch know as Third Echelon. It is a top secret angeny that carries out Black Operations or secret operations, for the Government. Third Echelon sends out field agents that use state-of-the-art equipment and have to be passed through a gruelling training program, where they learn to take in torture and to feel no pain, no emotion and have no mercy. Sam Fisher is one of those field agents. He is the best of the best. He, is a Splinter Cell!
The story starts in the Ukraine where Sam has been dispatched to find information about an illegal weapons deal. Throughout the book, the story jumps around and tells you different stories that slowly piece together. With danger around every corner,Sam must be very careful and learns quickly to trust no one. The story ranges from the U.S to Europe and Asia. Throughout his travels Sam begins to piece up the puzzel which leads to the discovering of a plot to use neuclear weaponry against the United States and start a neuclear war. Can Sam stop it or will the World descend into Armaggedon?
I immensely enjoyed this explosive, action packed novel. Although there are a few slightly gory sections it is still an enjoyable read. I recommend it to those who enjoy thrillers, action or maybe even just explosions and most definitely to fans of Tom Clancy.
