Paul Hood and his team, already in Germany to buy technology for the new Regional Op-Center, become entangled in the crisis. They uncover a shocking force behind the chaos - a group that uses cutting-edge technology to promote hate and to influence world events. A powerful profile of America's defense, intelligence, and crisis management technology, Tom Clancy's Op-Center is the creation of Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik.

"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 (5 out of 5 stars)
" 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, 2/16/2014" 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, 2/15/2014" Still early in my reading. No conclusions yet other than it's a military strategic work of fiction. "
— Wes, 2/6/2014" Not actually written by Tom Clancy, but not bad. Not great mind you, and kind of forgettable, but a solid read. 3 stars. "
— Evan, 2/4/2014" Not the greatest. "
— Drew, 1/20/2014" Great on the suspence, with a strong line up of charaters. "
— Paul, 1/18/2014" if you buy anything with Ops Center in the title you are a woeful fool and I will beat you with a stick when I next see you. "
— Jeffwatson, 1/15/2014" read to page 12 stopped, never picked it up again. "
— Shellie, 1/13/2014" the best story,, so great.. "
— Budi, 12/20/2013" I enjoyed this book on tape. "
— Ralph, 12/11/2013" 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, 12/4/2013" 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, 11/21/2013" The book is good overall. The plot is interesting and it is easy to visualize as the plot unfolds. Yet, there is something about the book that keeps us wanting more and that makes the book feel a little incomplete. "
— Ashwath, 9/23/2013" It is fun to get into a new Tom Clancy series. "
— Ayelet, 9/12/2013" I read this so long ago. But now going through my books and getting rid of some! "
— Fittytiff, 7/8/2013" Op-center and striker force stop a war in Korea. "
— Joyce, 5/24/2013" 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, 4/2/2013" My first Tom Clancy book. Was a nice read and I recommend it to anyone who likes the genre (Politics/Military Thriller). "
— Miguel, 3/16/2013" 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, 10/2/2012" not really superb with other co-authors and quite predictable "
— Jan, 6/26/2012" Read during the Army years "
— Jim, 6/15/2012" Overdone. "
— William, 3/23/2012" 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, 3/21/2012" I got totally bored in the first 100 pages...so I stopped reading it...( and I almost never do that...) enough said "
