Acts of War

Tom Clancy's Op-Center #4

De: Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik, Jeff Rovin

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

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 online 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.

Prescient

Although the Kurds have proven to be solid allies in the regional conflict, this book is ultimately spot on about terrorism and risks posed to America.

Tired formula, but gripping in parts.

Really hoping subsequent books in the series revert to less far fetched ideas. Parts of this plot felt rushed an inconclusive

More Military Accuracy Needed

I've been putting up with the skewed rank system in these books for a while now however, it's getting annoying. 1st saying that this team somehow is better trained than Delta is ridiculous... Especially when the team is filled with privates. No special forces team has anything less than a sergeant.

not possible

The writer needs to do more research. The way the vehicle was taken. Would not happen. Talk to a mechanic.

Kill killed killed kill

Lots of killing. You expect it and it is. The story gets better at the end though..

so far my favorite

so far this has to be my favorite Ops Center. love the characters conflict and watching the grow. it also set up some of the smaller characters for a larger part.

good story

Mr. Kramer can ruin even the best of written books. It is a challenge to follow which character is saying what thanks in no small part to Mr. Kramers monotone voice and feeble attempts to give spice to his voice. My personal option is that Mr. Kramer's syle is poorly suited for this genre. I think he should do educational books.

Op-center only gets better

Would you consider the audio edition of Acts of War to be better than the print version?

The audio book and the print version are both excellent and as usual complement each other.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Acts of War?

The Israli spies saving Paul Hood and the ambassadors when the Syrian President used them as bait to capture the terrorists.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Mike Rodger's execution of the terrorist that tortured him.

Slow

Moves pretty slow. Overall okay story. Feels like a character development story more than anything.

Exciting another twist

After working all day my eyes grey so tired I can't read or watch TV so having these exciting books read to me is pure joy.
