Publisher Description
Kurdish terrorists have attacked a dam inside the borders of Turkey, threatening the water supply of their very homeland. It is not insanity, but the first step in a deceptively simple plan: force all-out war in the Middle East, drawing in the major players in the new world order. What the terrorists don't know is that a new Regional Op-Center is now on-line in Turkey. A mobile version of the permanent crisis-management facility, the ROC is a cutting-edge surveillance and information mecca. And its team can see exactly what the Kurdish rebels are trying to do. But the terrorists are more resourceful than anyone thinks. They also have ways of obtaining classified information. And the Regional Op-Center is a prize not to be passed up.

"i have read a Tom Clancy novel before this. so i decided to come back to the beginning of OP Center. i actually had too much expectations but after i toned down my expectations, i enjoyed the book. the death of the guy that lost his wife moved me though. i would have preferred it if he didn't die. and the president making OP Center public at the end was against my expectation. i would have preferred it if it remained an unknown operation. i gave i 4 stars because it was a good description if espionage and counter espionage. and the north-south Korea tension{the love hate relationship} was well documented"

Tom Clancy's Op-Center #4: Acts of War Listener Reviews
-
" I think this book is a okay book. I find it very difficult to understand and I should've read a book in my learning level of reading "
— Austin, 2/10/2014 -
" Sort of good story but Clancy tries to hard to impress us with how much Russian stuff he knows. Who cares the name of each street the heroes cross and the Russian words for so many thinkgs.. NYET! "
— Martha, 2/9/2014 -
" Read during the Army years "
— Jim, 2/7/2014 -
" This is a book where you somehow know the ending, but not how it comes about. I labored through the book in order to see how it ended. It seemed to be written for a movie or sit com. "
— Ron, 2/5/2014 -
" As I recall, this was the best of the ones I read. A quick easy read with enough interest to want to keep reading. Yeah, but not Clancy. "
— Robert, 1/22/2014 -
" This book does not belong in my usual selection of books but as the story progresses, you can't help but read more. "
— Danielle, 1/21/2014 -
" Listened to book tape. Not a favorite in any way. "
— Lynne, 1/18/2014 -
" Read this book after watching the tv movie. Surprised the plot of the movie did not follow the plot of the book. "
— Mainrun, 1/18/2014 -
" I got totally bored in the first 100 pages...so I stopped reading it...( and I almost never do that...) enough said "
— Camille, 1/6/2014 -
" I enjoyed this book on tape. "
— Ralph, 12/21/2013 -
" Great on the suspence, with a strong line up of charaters. "
— Paul, 11/24/2013 -
" It is fun to get into a new Tom Clancy series. "
— Ayelet, 10/27/2013 -
" read to page 12 stopped, never picked it up again. "
— Shellie, 10/16/2013 -
" My first Tom Clancy book. Was a nice read and I recommend it to anyone who likes the genre (Politics/Military Thriller). "
— Miguel, 10/14/2013 -
" Read this forever ago, like 10 years. Awesome read, my first Clancy book. Loved the characters and the action. Good series. "
— Matthew, 10/1/2013 -
" I liked it. It was published just before the Tokyo subway gas attacks. In this work, Clancy creates a similar attack in Korea. He adeptly described those chemicals of war, tabun and sarin (the one used in Tokyo). Aside from the location and some details, the similarities were shocking. "
— Gerald, 3/18/2013 -
" Not the greatest. "
— Drew, 12/18/2012 -
" Still early in my reading. No conclusions yet other than it's a military strategic work of fiction. "
— Wes, 12/7/2012 -
" Op-center and striker force stop a war in Korea. "
— Joyce, 10/22/2012 -
" This was the first of a series for Clancy, and the first book of Clancy's I have had the pleasure of reading. It's definately a page turner, and leaves you wanting more of the characters in the book. "
— Phillip, 6/7/2012 -
" Full of action. Needed a change of pace from the heavy emotional involvement of my previous book. Not that this a light hearted romp, but the action is the star, not the characters. "
— Lawrence, 4/8/2012 -
" An agency established outside the controls of 'normal' government control to do dirty work and save the world... "
— Rich, 12/14/2011 -
" Book club choice, which I agreed to out of deference to The Hunt for Red October, a fave movie, by the same author. It takes two pages to describe a missile or an airplane (zzzz); difficult to keep track of which characters were from the North and South. "
— Susan, 12/5/2011 -
" Not actually written by Tom Clancy, but not bad. Not great mind you, and kind of forgettable, but a solid read. 3 stars. "
— Evan, 11/23/2011 -
" Pretty good, not one of my favorites. "
— doug, 9/19/2011 -
" not really superb with other co-authors and quite predictable "
— Jan, 9/19/2011 -
" ok.....will have to read a couple of more before I know for sure my thoughts. Will have to see how the characters develop. "
