Summary: Good read for "down time"
Comment: I'm a philosopher, so I read a lot of heavy books. Once in awhile I have some "down time" books which I like to read just to pass time reading something that I don't need to scrutinize with pencil and paper nearby. This is one of those books, and it really does fulfill that purpose well. This is not the 'Clancy Classic' of "Red Storm Rising" or "Without Remorse," so don't get your hopes set up for that.
I enjoyed the different characters and their role in problem solving. The authors do well in showing how people often have self-interest and fair-weathered natures. I also thought that the subplots (e.g. with Hood's son, with the diplomat's wife) were present enough to engage the reader, but not overdone.
I felt that it was somewhat difficult to keep track of the various foreign characters because of their names. Instead of picking just their surname or family name, often the characters are referred to in numerous ways - thus, making it tricky to keep up. Also, I feel that perhaps a few pages could have been spent on explaining the Op-Center itself, given that this book is the first in the series..... the reader is left only basic clues about the status and origin of the Op-Center.
All in all, an excellent book for waiting rooms, beach days, and/or lazy hours on the porch.....

Summary: An outstanding book!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: 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.

Summary: The Turkish Army is not this weak
Comment: The story is nice and all but it is not realistic. Not only do the Syrians kill Turkish border guards no match, but they also manage to steal a helicopter, blow up a dam, and also get back to Syria. Clancy is actually a good writer but America and Israel are the only nations in the world to have powerful militaries.
Then the unrealistic story continues. Later on in the book we find out that a small Turkish unit was "wiped out" by a Syrian army! What?
The Turkish army is the region's most developed and powerful. Turkey also posses the second largest army in NATO and has a powerful work ethic. When I went to Turkey for the NATO summit, I saw some Turkish soldiers train at the military barracks and boy did they look fierce. Nothing like some soldiers in the region. Had this situation really took place, Turkey would not only invade Syria but also crush any rebellion inside. In this book (which has badly researched), America and Israel "save" Turkey because they are the only countries in the world to manage this situation. Take my advice, skip this pro Israel pro American book and read something else.
