Gordian is as plain as they come, and most of the secondary characters are interchangeable. The book will be of most interest to those who are knowledgeable in encryption-technology issues and who have read the first in the Power Plays series, Politika. It's worth noting that the Power Plays series began with a computer game.

Based on a Tom Clancy novel isn't the same as a Clancy solo novel.

I was in the military. Tom Clancy wrote it. So of course I have it. But I didn't buy it, it was given to me. This is from the power plays series and I just couldn't get into it.
