I've been thinking about buying one of the Splinter Cell books for a while now and i just wanted to know if any of you guys have read the books, and if so, what did you make of them?

I also have a question, knowing Ubisoft's reputation with Clancy games, do they have anything at all to do with the games? Is there a Sam Fischer? Third Eschelon? Does he have a daughter named Sarah?

I've read the first two books and was actually entertained. I haven't gotten around to reading the others though. As bad as it's going to sound, I've also read some of the Halo books and liked those as well.

In the books do you get a sense of the Sam Fisher thats portrayed in the games?

Are the books about missions, his personal life, what?

Well that's not quite the same thing, in the case of Splinter Cell the books came first "

From what I remember, (it's been awhile) it's a mixture of both. But, the author did capture Fisher pretty well.

How come David Michaels never got a mention in the video games and why does Tom Clancy get all the credit?

Read it, AMAZING!! 5/5

The splinter cell books are pretty cool, they cover a more in depth timeline of Sam's exploits. I only read the first one that came out but it was pretty good. The books did come out after the original game. They even cover little things in em like an interesting noiseless alarm system for Sam to sleep while he's on missions and be awake in time.
