Tom Clancy's Net Force Explorers #6
Net Force: Furto nella Rete
Nel 2025 i computer dominano il mondo.
E Net Force è una squadra di agenti investigativi che ha il compito di sorvegliare la rete e di proteggerla da qualsiasi attività criminale on-line.
Tra loro c'è un gruppo di ragazzi formidabili che con i computer sono a volte più abili degli adulti: i Net Force Explorers, maghi dell'informatica che sono in grado di arrivare dove nessun altro è mai arrivato e che combattono il crimine come nessun altro ha mai fatto...
Xanadu, l'isola più esclusiva del mondo, offre cibo squisito, spiagge di lusso, intrattenimento sofisticato... nonché gli ultimi ritrovati della realtà virtuale.
Ma Xanadu la probabile base operativa dei audaci e disastrosi furti mai perpetrati in rete.
La giovane Megan O'Malley dei Net Force Explorer sa di essere in grado di catturare il ladro.
Suo padre, un celebre scrittore, è stato inviato sull'isola: perciò lei può accompagnarlo ed indagare senza destare sospetti.
Ma si trova contro uno spaventoso pericolo, che rischia di metterla fuori gioco per sempre.

Fun quick read set in the near future in the same universe as Tom Clancy's Net Force. The series focusses on teens that are part of a group that is affiliated to the FBI's internet division, Net Force.
The book is about Megan O'malley who inserts herself, with Net Force's approval, into the investigation about online identity theft resulting in serious damage. For the investigation Megan and her father travel to a luxury island resort to investigate which of the staff of the resort is responsible for the thefts.
It's a short and simple book but quite fun. Megan's investigation results in very little, and she needs the help of the son of one of the victims as well as Mark Gridley to finalise the investigation. Mark Gridley is the son of Jay Gridley from the main Net Force series but some of the details do not align, e.g. the name of Mark's mother and his age.

Follows the same basic formula as the previous NET FORCE novels written by Diane Duane. She begins with a mysterious event, then spends most of the book fleshing out the exotic backdrop against which the Net Force investigation is taking place. Whereas her previous books revolved around virtual environments, END GAME mostly takes place in the real world, at a futuristic island resort called Xanadu. It actually makes for a great setting, but all the time spent exploring the resort's technology and operations never really pays off the way it ought to. Instead, we are given a very perfunctory resolution that could've just as easily taken place 100 pages earlier, had there not been a minimum word count Ms. Duane needed to reach.

Strani furti che fanno tutti uso di tecnologia avanzata e furti di identità hanno tutti in comunque il fatto di avere come vittime i facoltosi ospiti di un villaggio vip costruito su una isola tropicale.
Una ragazza dei Net Force Explorers, con la scusa di accompagnare il padre scrittore durante una serie di suoi seminari su questa isola, inizierà una serie di indagini per scovare chi si cela dietro questi crimini.
