Customer Reviews

Excellent series

If you've avoided buying this because you've been burnt in the past by Clancy and his cowriters, then give this a try. I have read every one in the Op Center series and find them to be excellent. You won't be disappointed with this selection. Try them all!

This was a really good book.

Another great thriller from the Op-Center seris. The proper dosage of action and intrige keeps the reader going page after page after page.

An outstanding book!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom Clancy's book Op Center is a wonderful display of how a book should be written. My father was the reason I read this book in th efirst place. It had so much description about the many characters Clancy involved in his book. A person may feel that they Know one of them just by what type of personality the author gives them. This book is written so well because the reader may be able to relate to someone in the book. I also liked how Clancy took the reader behind the scenes of the whole Intelligence world. What really grabbed my attention was how the special forces members were sent in to blow the missles up. If you did not already know I just a hunger for books that are filled with action and always having something going on. This book by far had all of those things and then some. Another thing I love is that the book was actually real, and could happen. I recommend this book to anyone, and if I ever have the chance to read it again I will.

Must-read for all Clancy fans

This book is the best to come from Tom Clancy in a long time. For those people sick of reading about Jack Ryan and all of the convoluted plots and dull dialogue in Clancy's recent works, this is a breath of fresh air. There are several sub-plots, all of which are easy to follow and leave you turning the pages to find out what happens. Paul Hood, Mike Rodgers, and the rest of the Op-Center gang are a new group of Clancy characters that are sure to go down in history with Jack Ryan, James Greer, Bart Mancuso and Jonesy, and Cathering Ryan! A must read

Op-Center: Games of State

This is possibly the best series I've read, and definatly the best book in it. Clancy really knows how to build suspence and create a real page-turner. It takes a surface look at Neo-Nazism in the 90's, but doesn't become an essay. Very real descriptions of all the "unimportant" details and makes them important. This is definatly a must-read, especially after reading the first two
