Michaels, David. Splinter Cell. Berkley Books: New York, 2004.
Intense, action packed, and suspenseful are all words that describe the book I read, Splinter Cell. It takes place all over the world. This story revolves around the main character, Sam Fischer; he is a spy for an extremely secretive organization that sends its special agents to retrieve vital information for the good of the country. He must spy, sneak and kill in order to accomplish his mission, but for Sam Fischer, this is just an ordinary day at the office.
I read this book because I noticed the review by Corey Hanna. It sounded very intense and engaging, a real page turner. This novel did not disappoint me in the least bit; it was full of action, as well as a large amount of suspense. It also included a good background on the man behind the superhero spy. He lives an ordinary life when he is not doing his job. He has a daughter that he has a very rocky relationship with, which makes him seem to be more like an everyday person. Character depth was just another bonus to this story. Also, Michales does a very good job at placing Sam in extremely gripping situations. He could be hanging from a ceiling, right above his enemies, and he must remain unnoticed or he will be killed. I totally agree with Corey that this is a very good book.
