Epub Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist Aftermath
In the aftermath of conspiracy, corruption, and betrayal a reconstructed Splinter Cell team designated "Fourth Echelon" emerges under the command of Sam Fisher and answerable only to the President. We join the team during their current assignment: find and steal back one hundred pounds of highly enriched uranium (HEU) stolen from Russia and hidden somewhere inside Iran.
But, when Igor Kasperov, Russia's equivalent to America's Bill Gates vanishes, the President orders Fisher to abort the HEU mission and find him. How is Kasperov more important--or dangerous--than weapon grade uranium in the hands of Islamic radicals?
President Caldwell dispatches the 4E team to learn the answers. Meanwhile, the Russians order their elite operative, Major Viktoria Kolosov, the Snow Maiden, to bring the missing software genius back to Moscow. Smells like a showdown between the Snow Maiden and Sam to me.
There's more here between the book covers than the usual over-the-top action adventure scenes and sequences. Telep shares some of the geopolitical underpinnings driving his story. I like that a lot. It puts meat on the bones. It shows respect for the reader and demonstrates a keen awareness of current events. Two examples: The permanent stationing of U.S. Navy missile equipped ships in European ports to circumvent Russia's "no land missiles" prohibition is nothing short of brilliant and U.S. natural gas sales that undercut Russian pricing in the European marketplace is akin to dropping an economic bomb. Such actions by the U.S. are viewed as a direct assault on the economic stability of the Russian government and a threat to its homeland security.
My policy with novels written for the Clancy brand is simple: I buy them. I have done so without question for years, going back to the NetForce novels. As the years have worn on the collection has grown, but many of the novels have gone unread.
Peter Telep's Ghost Recon: Choke Point broke that spell earlier this year (which lead to me to also read Combat Ops and Ghost Recon, which Telep wrote under a different name.)
But with Splinter Cell: Blacklist Aftermath, Telep has hit a real stride, having written a tense, vivid adventure that is by and large more interesting and engaging than the game it follows. It hits the ground running with an exciting (and gruesome) motorcycle chase. Fun stuff. From there it slides into the a-plot which deals with a billionaire software developer on the run, seeking refuge after a crisis of conscience leads him to disobey the Kremlin's order to unleash a hellish, unstoppable computer virus on American infrastructure.
Sam Fisher and his team race to find him…as does just about everyone else with a high-powered weapon. Interesting to note is the inclusion of the Snow Maiden, a character featured prominently in Telep's EndWar novels. I love the world building (though not the indistinct timeline—something my nerd brain wants, but doesn't need!) and the sense of scope. The characters live, fight and flee in a world that rises above typical tie-in fiction.
If I have to level any kind of criticism, it's this: the novel is often too lean and streamlined. I have to imagine this is symptomatic of the format and timeframe in which a novel like this is published. If one has read Against All Enemies, they'll know well that Telep can take the time and color characters more vividly than he does here.
