''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Operation Barracuda'' is a 2005 novel in the ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell'' series and a sequel to the 2004 novel ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell''. Both novels were written by Raymond Benson under the pseudonym David Michaels. The book was released on November 1, 2005 and reached number nine on the ''NY Times'' mass market paperback best-seller list. ''Operation Barracuda'', like its precursor, is told in the first-person from the view of NSA black-ops agent Sam Fisher. ==Plot summary== Taking place almost a year after the first novel, Third Echelon attempts to search the members of the arms cartel known as The Shop and bring them to justice. While Sam Fisher is working to collect information on The Shop in Ukraine and Russia, Third Echelon is continuing its investigation into how the Shop uncovered the identities of some Splinter Cells and killed them. However, when former East German scientist Gregory Jeinsen goes missing and then is found dead in Hong Kong, heads begin to turn. Jeinsen had developed the MRUUV, a new submarine vehicle for the United States Navy that could theoretically carry a nuclear weapon. Sam Fisher is sent to learn why the scientist was in Hong Kong and who killed him; it is suspected that a local group of Triads named the Lucky Dragons did it. What Third Echelon does not yet realize is that Jeinsen, the Lucky Dragons, The Shop, and a traitor inside their own government are all part of a much larger picture involving a rogue PLA general named Lan Tun, with ambitions to invade and conquer Taiwan. It is revealed that Jeinsen's work enabled the Shop and the Lucky Dragons to develop their own MRUUVs and sell it to the Chinese. On the homefront, Fisher has to balance his job and a new romantic relationship with his Krav Maga instructor, Katia Loenstern. However, a Russian Mafiya sniper hired by The Shop to assassinate Fisher kills Katia instead. General Tun uses a PLAN ballistic missile submarine to launch a nuclear-equipped MRUUV off the coast of Los Angeles, with the intention of detonating it to trigger a massive tsunami that levels the city; it is an attempt to blackmail the US into not aiding the Taiwanese during the Chinese invasion. Fisher manages to foil the plot with a little help from the Lucky Dragons, and all the conspirators involved including the traitor, the general, and the Shop are viciously gunned down. The Taiwanese military and ships from the US Seventh Fleet work together to stop the Chinese invasion, which the Chinese government itself disowns. Relieved that his actions have once again saved the world, Fisher reunites with his daughter Sarah and Lambert grants him a leave for one year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Operation Barracuda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
