Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist Aftermath

I have been reading Clancy books since the mid 80's while in the USAF living in Guam. Loved them. Before Tom Clancy dies, he used writers to help him with certain series of books. There have been at least 3 writers for the Splinter Cell series under 2 names. My daughter pointed out that the 3rd in the series was written in a different person that the first two. I did not pick up on it. Now Peter Telep for the University of Central Florida has been writing the books. He does a great job. Short chapters, action packed stories from the first page, engages all the senses, details about lots of foreign places, lots of Technology, and the power of the human spirit. One thing I really enjoy about Peter is his interest in what the reader thinks. He seems to care about your input. It does not get any better than this. Keep up the good work.

This is the most recent book in the Splinter Cell novel series and its a real treat. It takes place right after the 2013 video game, and ignores the pseudo continuity from the previous novels. The plot is very clear and easy to understand, and the various missions they need to undertake are fun and the complications thrown their way are quite engaging. The reason I'm deducting a star is that it's a little too action oriented for a Splinter Cell novel. In other words, they almost always are either running from the enemy or are instantly detected by them. No real solo infiltration missions like the earlier novels. His team is extremely present and Briggs is always by Fisher's side, which does lessen the stakes a bit since Fisher now has backup on the field. That being said, it's still a great book and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the video games.

Peter Telep has presented a series of end of the chair excitement and intrigue that are real page turners. There are a few similarities between the Splinter Cell series and the Endwar series. I have read both series and thoroughly enjoyed each one. Aftermath is the latest and it keeps you involved from the first page to the last. The only confusion that I have is the involvement of the Snow Maiden here and in The Missing (Endwar). I had just finished Missing before reading Aftermath. The final disposition of the Snow Maiden is different in each story. Keeping them separated was a challenge, but did not detract from either story. If you like lots of action on the international stage, then these two series are great reads. Even though Tom Clancy is no longer with us, his legacy is being carried on ably by Mr Telep. Keep them coming.

Having read all the splinter cell books previously, and played their connected video games, I have to say Blacklist (the novel) is somewhat disappointing. While the other books are by no means award winning material, they all have been fun and exciting reads that stimulates the imagination and really bring Sam and his struggles to life. Unfortunately this is not the case during the course of Blacklist. One of my qualms with this book is the plot seems jumbled and at times difficult to follow. In addition, action sequences do not come to life like previous books. I was having a hard time really picturing what exactly was going on and at times questioning why exactly this course of action was even necessary. But, and most importantly, the quality of writing is a tier lower then what I would expect having read the other books. Like I said earlier, it fails to capture the imagination, making the story and plot go stale restively quickly. If you are a big splinter cell fan, I would still get this novel; however go in to this book stripped of any prior expectations. Perhaps your conclusions will be different than mine.

Excellent book, kept my interest throughout the entire book.this series is one of the dest series i have so far

Very interesting. However it does not follow the other books. This picks up directly after the end of the video game Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Incorporates some very interesting plots with the Endwar series and brings in some familiar characters as well. Do not expect the old Sam Fisher though. This is the video game Sam Fisher.

I have long been a fan of Tom Clancy books because they have just the right amount of action, suspense and intrigue mixed into one. Aftermath was no exception. Having just played the Blacklist game I was excited to see the follow up in Sam Fisher's escapades and was not disappointed. This book is a great read for all, gamers, enthusiasts or those who just want to jump into an exciting story.

It was a gift. My friend enjoyed the book a lot

THERE IS O DOUBT THAT PETER TELEP WRITES AN EXCITING BOOK. THE ACTION STARTS ON PAGE ONE AND CARRIES ON UNTIL THE FINISH.WITH NUMEROUS TWISTS TO THE PLOT.THOUGH PERSONALLY I DO THINK HE HAS DRIFTED AWAY FROM A TRUE TOM CLANCY NOVEL BY LEAVING OUT THE CHARACTERS NORMALLY FOUND IN TOM CLANCY'S BOOKS.

wenn man ein bisschen englisch kann und die anderen bücher gelesen hat, kommt man schnell rein. ich habe die anderen bücher aus der serie auf deutsch, aber das macht nix, man bleibt mit dem englischen in übung. der zustan des buches ist einwandfrei, für den preis kann man nix sagen. keine klagen

Great Read as are all Tom Clancy books

La base est un jeu vidéo, OK mais pourquoi ont-ils oublié de mettre sur papier le jeu précédant ? Il est beaucoup question de Blacklist dans celui là. Intriguée, il m'a fallu aller sur Internet pour en connaitre la trame et mieux comprendre certains personnages. Plusieurs pages de résumé montrent que le livre précédant ces Aftermath serait aussi passionnant que tous ceux de cette série Splinter Cell. Malgré le départ de Monsieur Clancy je trouverais sympa que cette série continue, même si Telep est sec dans l'écriture : j'adore Sam Fisher et les mondes où il nous entraîne avec des "méchants" pour l'action et beaucoup de "gentils" pour l'aider où qu'il soit. Mais sans Tom Clancy les idées seront-elles là ?

Livro sensacional, ação do começo ao fim, e além do mais Sam Fisher é Sam Fisher. Recomendo a todos que leiam todos os livros relativos a Splinter Cell, entender o personagem é sensacional (suas dores, seus conflitos). Gostaria inclusive que tivesse sido lançado no Brasil (todos os livros sem exceção) em PT-BR, mais pela pesquisa que fiz nenhuma editora se interessou á época, fica a dica.
