Editorial Review:When Syrian terrorists attack a dam in Turkey to threaten the water supply and force all-out war in the Middle East, the new online Regional Op-Center in Greece learns of the plan and launches a counterstrike.
The Cold War is over. And chaos is setting in. The new president of Russia is trying to create a democratic regime. But there are strong elements within the country that are trying to stop him: the ruthless Russian mafia, the right-wing nationalists, and those nefarious forces that will do whatever it takes to return Russia to the days of the Czar. Op-Center, the newly-founded but highly successful crisis management team, begins a race against the clock and against the hardliners. Their task is made even more difficult by the discovery of a Russian counterpart... but this one's controlled by those same repressive hardliners and represents everything Op-Center stands for. Two rival Op-Centers, virtual mirror images of each other. But if this mirror cracks, it'll be more than seven years of bad luck....

This was a good book with some intrigue and suspense. It starts off slow but gains momentum, and the the last 50 pages or so are fairly suspenseful. If you're looking for something fun to read that's not too heavy, this is a good book. One downside is that some of the technology that would seem so fascinating when the book was written is fairly mundane now.

I have enjoyed all of the Clancy Op-Center books I've read, and this one is no different. "Games of State" has an entertaining and exciting story line with a great cast of characters. I still prefer the regular Tom Clancy novels, but the Op-Center books are a nice change of pace.

My first reading of Op-Center came about because I enjoyed Tom Clancy's previous novels. It led to me reading a number of other Op-Center books. I enjoyed them all.
I just reread the original Op-Center... it wasn't nearly as good the second time through.
Why is that?
Tom Clancy has a knack for spinning a complex story with many characters, and making each character stand out enough that the reader doesn't get mixed up. This didn't happen with this reading... ... Read More

First, I just want to say that this review IS about the first book. This book is not about Neo-Nazis or the Turks and Kurds. It is based in North/South Korea.
This book is an acceptable start to the series, but could have been much better. For one, it was a pretty lame "crisis". It didn't even last more than two days, which I realize is possible, but not very likely. Even more ridiculous is the marital problems mixed in that also last only two days and then are fixed (although in later books ... Read More
