Power Plays follows Tom Clancy's style in Mystery to the T
I couldn't get into it, but a Tom Clancy fan would probably like it better. I only read the first 50 pages or so - rest of the book is untouched.
Tom Clancy, great series.
The most dangerous man of this century has employed the most dangerous weapon yet. Criminal mastermind harlan DeVane has developed-and spread- a deadly, genetically engineered "superbug" resistant to all known cures. A microscopic time bomb, it will lie dormant inside its human hosts until detonated by specific biochemical triggers. DeVane plans to auction off the triggering elements to the highest bidder, but first he'll use them to destroy the greatest threat to his operation: Roger Gordian. Head of UpLink Technologies. As Roger falls prey to the disease, his medical and intelligence teams race to find the cause and the cure - because in Roger's fate lies the fate of the world - BioStrike.

very good
Harlan DeVane is a criminal mastermind who holds the most dangerous weapon yet. A microscopic time bomb.
About a "superbug", a new strain of mass destruction.

Another good Clancy book, about something that many of us fear could/will happen: a biological attack of a disase we can't treat.

Easy to read, decent enough plot. Nothing special, but if you like Clancy-esque thrillers ...
