Series background & context
James Swallow's Splinter Cell novels pick up the Tom Clancy game world with Sam Fisher still in the shadows, but not unchanged. Firewall pairs him with a new NSA recruit, his daughter Sarah, and turns a family complication into a full covert crisis.
Dragonfire follows with a high-risk mission tied to North Korea and a dangerous weapon. As usual for Splinter Cell, the mission is only the first problem. Capture, disavowal, and hidden agendas are all part of the terrain.
These books are easy to approach if you know Sam Fisher as a stealth operative. You do not need every game detail, but familiarity with Fourth Echelon helps.
