Summary: Clancy delivers again
Comment: I agree with the previous review -- the action is good. It is certainly a good read and worthy of the Clancy name. I have always loved the Op Center series and this book is no exception -- however, I must admit that although the action is well done (and the politics are too), these books are no match for his Jack Ryan series (especially Debt of Honor and Executive Orders). still, a must-read. (I definitely hope Paul Hood returns to Op Center for the next book.)
Rating: 5
Summary: World of Greed
Comment: In Tom Clancy's State of Siege, he places the tough decision of a mans family and a nations integrity. Paul Hood has quit his job at the Op- Center to spend more time with his wife and family. When he takes them on a trip to New York to see his daughter in a recital at the U.N., he didn't plan for what was about to come. A group of wealth greedy terrorists invade the U.N. building and taking many delegates and young musicians hostage, including Hood's daughter. He is now forced with the decision to stay and comfort his wife, or to rejoin the Op-Center and help get all the hostages, including his daughter out. Clancy's book was action packed from the very first chapter. Clancy intensifies the book with Paul Hood's decision of work or a life with his family. His daughter being a hostage poses to him a problem which he must solve. In order to solve it he must leave his wife and return the Op-Center. The clock is running and Hood faces the most important decision of his life. He sacrifices his wife and decides to save his daughter's life. He rejoins Op-Center and faces a new question of how to save his daughter and the delegates. Time is passing quickly and the bloodshed increases. The pressure is intense and Paul keeps his cool. He takes the stress and eventually makes the right decision and saves his daughter's life with the help of his co-workers at the Op-Center.

Summary: The first and best Op-Center I've ever read!
Comment: Clancy has done great in ditching those sometimes boring political plots and went into the action theme. The story is excellent and here is a summary: Paul Hood has retired as the Regional Op-Center director and now wishes to be with his wife and kids more. Sharon was a TV cooking show personality and his daughter Harleigh was an excellent violinist for her teenage age. His son, Alexander Hood (I hope I got the name right) enjoys video games and challenge. When Paul Hood finnaly retires, there is a sub-plot of emotional issues between him and Sharon but when they go to see Harleigh perform at a special diplomatic concert in New York for ambassadors and senators, greedy terrorists with a grandiose plan to get the world's attention and recieve a high ransom invade the United Nations building where the teenagers will perform and take the children and government people hostage. It is a race against time as hostages are killed on an hourly bases and while Secretary-General Chatterjee complains about giving diplomacy when Mike Rodgers wants to send in the Striker team. This has a good plot and lots of adventure that will "dazzle all readers!" (Me!)
