Book Reviews of Line of Control (Tom Clancy's Op-Center, Book 8)
Book Review: Great Action/Thriller -- Perfect for the Beach
Summary: 5 Stars
Op Center is a great series, and Line of Control does not disappoint. It's well written, making it a quick read. But what I love most about this and the other Op Center books is the realistic detail. The book is a page-turner because the twists feel so real. In fact, as pointed out in a different review, some of the events described in the book actually happened recently. To me, that's the sign of a well thought out plot. It's obvious that Jeff Rovin has an uncanny knack to understand actual political conflicts, and then to create realistic scenarios based on them. That is what distinguishes this book/series from other titles. It was also great to see some of the old characters back again -- including the Striker team. The book is fun, realistic, and exciting -- a perfect story for a weekend away.Book Review: Well Written, Edge-of-your-Seat Action
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite being the 8th Op-Center, "Line of Control" lives up to the high standards the previous novels set. The book's focus is a terrorist plot in the Kashmir/Jammu region of the Indian Sub-Continent that may lead to nuclear brinkmanship. The story line will take you through twists and turns and leave you wanting more. The characters are are deep, interesting and leave you feeling as if you know them. An excellent of a military action/adventure novel.
WARNING: If you have not finished the previous seven Op-Centers, reading this book out of order will make the plot arbitrary.
The book's surprises are comparable to that of the plot of Fox's "24." Just make sure you read the Op-Center series in order!
Book Review: Great read in the continuing Op Center saga
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for an indepth study of the intricate political, religious and personal battles that are being fought in the Kashmir region....go get a non-fiction book on the subject. But if you want a great, fast paced read with some interesting characters and plot twists in an international setting then you should enjoy this latest Op Center novel. The story uses the Pakistani-Indian conflict as its backdrop, and many of the regular Op Center characters are featured. But basically you've got a "Clancy" meets "Cliffhanger" thriller. Not a bad idea, even if occasionally you must suspend disbelief on some details. Worth a read.Book Review: Exciting!! Right from the today's headlines.
Summary: 5 Stars
The latest Op-Center sets its story in one of today's most dangerous places - the India Pakistani border. In fact in recent newspapers, the unfortunate terrorist activities described in the early chapters, actually happened. Talk about topical. The author's done his research. The plot moves along quickly, and deftly pulls Op Center into the conflict. Moral & diplomatic dilemmas abound. Op Center fans get to spend a little more time with Striker & Mike Rodgers in the field. Ron Friday, introduced in D & Conquer, provides an interesting foil. It's a great read.Book Review: Taut technical writing and gripping detail
Summary: 5 Stars
The eighth volume in Tom Clancy's acclaimed Op-Center series, Line Of Control is a thrilling presentation that is action-packed and laden with suspense. When the military branch of the Op-Center receives a mission to capture an Islamic cleric who is fomenting rebellion against the Indian government, the routine assignment turns deadly when India and Pakistan begin fighting a deadly war with the Op-Center agents caught in the middle. Jeff Rovin's taut technical writing and gripping detail makes Line Of Control must-read to the very end.
