Book Overview
Encryption technology keeps the codes for the world's security and communication systems top secret. Deregulating this state-of-the-art technology for export could put a back-door key in the pockets of spies and terrorists around the world. So when American businessman Roger Gordian refuses to put his sophisticated encryption program on the market, he finds his company the object of a corporate takeover--and to say it's hostile doesn't even come close.Only Gordian stands between the nation's military software and political extremists who want to put the leadership of the free world out of business--for good...

Hardcore non-stop Excitement.never wanted to put it down. Well worth the money. Time well spent.
The book was intuitive and exotic, I read it in 5 days.

I like the part on the ship that was sea-jacked and how Mr.Clancy did with his descriptions with the Southeast Asian environments. The violent content was neat and I bet that in the future Ruthless.com will become a movie. I read and saw Patriot Games and thought the book was extremely well written and action tense. The ending was rare yet I beleive that he should of written another chapter to tell what happened to Mr.Caine. I'll buy the game for it anytime.
TERRIBLE! Tom Clancy, where are you? Boring with errors!

As a Tom Clancy FAN, pilot, BS in Economics and MBA, so sorry to experience this book as a total disappointment. Characters not developed! Plot(?)dissected and obscure. ERRORS! Yes, errors in the flying references; spelling; even duplicate words!! Please, Mr. Clancy, "author!" This "created by" status undermines your credibility and reputation!
Excellent! Typical Clancy, with a twist of business.

The Power plays series is a great new twist that Clancy has introduced. I like these much better than the Ops-Center series. The Power Plays series aren't as technically in-depth as Clancy's normal books (Red Storm Rising, Debt of Honor, Cardinal in the Kremlin), but they get to the action much quicker. Anyone that has done International business travel will love these.
