Tom Clancy's #1 Power Plays - Wild Card
by Jerome Preisler
I find this book, for the lack of a better word - proficient. Blinded by the big bold letters that spelled 'Tom Clancy' made me turn the pages in anticipation, even caring to take a few glimpses of the commentaries enlisted on the first few pages of the book. /sweat
But I was quite dismayed - though adequately satisfied -to have eventually figured out the flow or outline of the story. The connections were very loose and the introductions were a bit messy at every chapter that I had to reboot my mindset so that my poor nerves would not complain of a new and entirely different setting/group of characters that come into place. This is one downside that I could dare pinpoint. As for the rest, read the book thoroughly so you'd know what I mean. LOL :D
Mainly, the story's about a huge underground scheme of smuggling and thickets of greed sourced from oil and many other things - all these were covered with the grandest of all exquisiteness: a luxury resort that is home to the richest and most influential people of the world who often would like to just sit back, relax and enjoy what they commonly call as 'vacation' for the blue bloods.
An agent was sent to go undercover to find out whether their anonymous informant was telling the truth or not. And as our character, Nimec, stumbles upon a mind-boggling operation on his first night-out as a spy, things that would happen afterwards would be the result of his honest discovery.
The novelette still has a stir of action, suspense and a bit of humor that I was able to enjoy for that matter. However, I still find the whole thing a bit disappointing, in my honest opinion. Everyone has his/her own vantage point. But I'd still recommend this one, it's not really that upsetting. /nobigdeal
