INTRODUCTION
Story
Once, Sam Fisher was an agent of Third Echelon, assigned to infiltrate strongholds belonging
to enemies of National Security, gather information and, where necessary, use his training to
neutralise those same enemies. But times are changing. America’s enemies are looking at
new options, finding ways to make themselves more deadly. In order to stay one step ahead
of its targets, Third Echelon is also changing, although Colonel Irving Lambert and Assistant
Director Williams may be trying to steer the change in two different directions. And while Sam
Fisher's foes are evolving and his allies are in flux, very soon, Fisher's own life is also going to
undergo a dramatic and permanent change. And once it happens, nothing will ever be the
same again. With his life turned upside-down, Sam Fisher is on a new mission unlike any he
has ever been sent on before. Where he used to penetrate defences and gather information
from the outside, now he's on the inside, working with those he’s sworn to destroy and finding
enemies among his allies. He’s risking everything for the sake of the greater good, even if it
costs him his identity – or his life.

As a Splinter Cell, an agent of Third Echelon, the NSA's most secret
subgroup, Sam Fisher has been trained to secure his country's defence
by mounting a good offence. In addition to their weapons and hand-to-
hand training, Splinter Cells use the latest high technology and
espionage techniques to infiltrate sensitive locations, retrieve
information, and execute operations the U.S. government cannot
acknowledge. Fisher has been on the front lines of espionage through
several key decades of world history. He has not only survived, but
excelled in his field through hard work, insatiable curiosity, and brutal
honesty. He has little time for polite niceties and even less for lies. He
is quiet, instinctive, and observant, somebody who watches from the
outside. But in order to achieve the discipline necessary for his work,
Fisher has had to bury certain parts of himself. He is a man of few words, a man with a
strange and slightly dark sense of humour, a man with an adult daughter whom he whom he
