Tom Clancy's Net Force is a novel series, created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik and originally written by Steve Perry. The original series ceased publication in 2006. Relaunched in 2013, and currently written by veteran Tom Clancy author Jerome Preisler, it is set in 2018 and charts the actions of Net Force: a special executive branch of the United States government set up to combat increasing crime and terrorist activity on the Internet. There was also a spin-off of young adult books called Net Force Explorers.

General
Tom Clancy's Net Force is aimed at an adult audience, while the related series Net Force Explorers (which follows the adventures of a teen auxiliary of the Net Force in 2025) is aimed at the older teen market.
The initial Net Force concept was alluded to in the third Op-Center novel, Games of State; given that Net Force was created by the same two men who created the Op-Center series, it can be assumed that they occur in the same universe. However, no direct connection has yet been drawn between the two.
In December 2013, Net Force was relaunched as a series co-created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik and written by Jerome Preisler. Preisler is the author of the Tom Clancy's Power Plays series, which ran from the late 90's until 2004.
The current series, available only as an e-book, is an updated re-boot of the original with a mixture of new and old characters.
