Tom Clancy's Op-Center #10: Sea of Fire

De: Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik, Jeff Rovin

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

America's most proficient covert operations team, hand-picked for its intelligence, analysis, and crisis-management skills, has had many a tough situation thrown at it. Years ago, before North Korea made its belligerent intentions known to the world, Op-Center's first mission was to thwart a crisis on the Korean peninsula. Since then, it has dealt with the machinations of Russian hard-liners, prevented the resurgence of age-old hatred in Germany, gone underground to prevent Kurdish terrorists from destabilizing the Middle East, subjugated the tensions of rebellious Basques, rescued the entire United Nations from mercenaries, and prevented an all-out war between India and Pakistan. Is it up to the challenge of preventing the next war? Absolutely.

Exciting

This was an exciting read. The narrator did a great job. I had no trouble getting through the book.

Last Good Book before Out of the Ashes

Good plot. Good rapport between characters. Lots of action.

SPOILER -

If you don’t like the soap opera interpersonal drama and characters that are really hard to like (Hood’s wife who is whiny and selfish; and, Gen Morgan Carrey who seems to more absorbed with her own power than an efficient organization) just skip the next two books. I found them boring and tedious. And you don’t really lose much of the plot line except the complete collapse and dissolution of Op-Canter (I was almost rooting for its demise given the personalities and characters.)

Aussie megalomaniac, radioactive waste

Would you consider the audio edition of Sea of Fire to be better than the print version?

I do not consider it to be better than the print but listening while reading enhances the experience.

What about Michael Kramer’s performance did you like?

Michael Kramer's performance was good as he has been in all his reading of the Op-Centre series. Although a koala is not a bear it is a marsupial.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I read it in one sitting. Too much time on my hands I guess.

Another Edge of My Seat Audio Book!

I just love the Ops Center series. Characters finely honed, stories important and exquisitely developed. I always learn something valuable about the world we live in and thoroughly enjoy my listening times. Bravo!

Ok

I’ve listened to most of the Tom Clancy books and this one is just mediocre
